I'm guessing this is Magic square?

"爵士第一次试模实物样品。目前不知道武器，替换脸。枪。舞者必须有，G2配色方案会有。震荡波会有。彩透明版会有安排。应该是2.0的。配2.0柱子。"

Crappy online translation:
"Jazz's first test mold physical sample. At present do not know the weapon, replace the face. Gun. Dancers must have, G2 color scheme will have. Shockwave will be there. Color transparent version will be arranged. It should be 2.0. With 2.0 columns."

 

Magic Square never had a Jazz 1.0 did they?

 

I

It may be newage. I would change the v.1.0 only if they would adjust the wide and disproportionate chest.

 

Nope. NA did though. They also remolded their Jazz into Alternators Shockwave. And they do a lot of transparent versions.

I guess TW was working on a prototype too, about the same time as their Wheeljack. But it disappeared.

And Iron Factory.

 

Maybe it's referring to their old Jazz in 2018 which never got any update.
There's even a thread

 

with the mention of shockwave and transparent versions, it points more to NA than MS.

but how do we know this is legend scale to begin with? doesn't mention size or photos to really conclude that.

 

Alright just did some further checking, it's confirmed that it is indeed Magic Square

"魔方新品-终于回归十八子了
别问，指定是明年。据说全尼龙，看看魔方能不能颠覆NA的爵士。"

Translation:
"New Rubik's Cube-finally back to the eighteenth
Don't ask, the designation is next year. It is said that all nylon, see if the Rubik's Cube can subvert NA's jazz."

 

Does NA show grey test shots? I’m going with MS based on the feet too.

 

Wow, finally,, I seriously been wishing and waiting soooo long for a jazz that wasn't an NA midget. I guess another year away but hot damn, something!

 

this is interesting but i cant get past everything that was translated.

just going off of everything that was mentioned. it really sounds like NA to me but who knows.

i guess the only way we can be sure if this is MS or not. is when NA drops a teaser of their new jazz as a cad file.

 

It is Magic Square because it says this is designed to fit with their OP 2.0. (配2.0柱子。)

 

When I used my phone to translate, the word "column" at first translated as "pillar". Isn't that an Asian name for Optimus?

 

Yes it is  

To me it looks like MS Jazz... And if so..

HELLZ YEAHH!

Finally my favorite g1 character  

 

Hope it's NA.
Would love a G1 toy style NA Jazz with toy deco instead of that animation version with toy deco.

 

Nice alt mode for Magic Square. Interesting if they're planning on the rest of the carbots, rather than moving on to more combiners. Cool.

 

The plant in the background and the brown table looks te same as the pics from Prime 2.0, so I would say these are pics from the MS design office.

 

oh...so you just went full csi on us.

 

It's about time. So many S1 bots are completely neglected by Legends (yes I know NA did Jazz but I meant more in the hope that this is the start of a new trend to go back and do the earlier bots). Still need Jazz, Prowl, Sunstreaker, Hound, Brawn, Mirage, Windcharger, Wheeljack (I've got Whisky Jack but he's not on par with MST figures), Gears, Ironhide, and Ratchet. Oh and Jetfire but he's not really in the same category as all those carbots. I'd also love to see dinobots from them even though I like my MFT dinos. Meanwhile, they've done most of S2 (aside from combiners) - all that's left for Autobots is Smokescreen, Skids, Powerglide, and Tracks.

 

Looks good. Looks like he will have the ability to do toy door wings and possibly hide them for cartoon accuracy.

 

i'm holding out judgement until i see a real prototype of alt mode from MS. render so far looks okay, but if it's as bad as their past few carbot molds, this will be a pass for me.
