    But there is a very real downside in making Jazz act and look nothing like Jazz just because a chosen alt mode reminds fans of Jazz though. Again, we have already been told this Mirage character is a rebellious jerk that argues with Optimus and who takes on various different alt modes, none of those things are remotely Jazz-ish. If they chose to name this character Jazz just because of the alt mode then you'd have people upset that Jazz has the right alt mode but the wrong character. Is Jazz's alt mode more important than his actual character? What if his robot mode has a blatantly Mirage-ish shape or even a brand new shape? Will "jazz fans" be happy that they just got Blizwing'd?

    I'll have you know that if Megatron doesn't have huge horns on his head my childhood will be ruined.

    I remember the discussion about Optimus having flames. Imagine witnessing that first discussion in real time. Seeing the designs come out for the first time was incredibly exciting, though. I remember when Megatron was revealed to mixed reactions, but the conversation was great. I still remember when his face was redesigned since originally he was supposed to have a battle mask like Bumblebee, but they changed it so that it was a fixed design.

    Actually Prime didn't show up until 2007 like Jazz, but yet he showed up on Earth in the Bumblebee movie somehow. So that argument is flawed.

    There are a lot of holes in these movie plots.

    I see even after all this time the movies continue to be a bizarre shit show where no one in production has ever actually seen a transformer before. They just get a list of available names and another list of available cars and things and just randomly cross one with the other.

    Literally no other major motion picture franchise does this.

    Yet there is Ant-Man. Are the Avengers a popular thing that made mass shifting work?

    I don't think they need to do mass shifting in Transformers, but they could make it work if they wanted.

    Basically if this is still tied to Bayverse then they will stay scan on the fly technology. They wouldn't change it unless there was a full reboot which isn't happening right now. I'm kind of on the fence with it. I kind of like it, kind of don't. If they ever do a reboot, I would like to see a different way that they reformat, probably a more old school way of doing it with the Sky Spy satellite at the ark. But until then I'm fine with them staying scan on the fly for continuity of the movies.

    That is Jazz. I predict the “Mirage” nameslap is just a promotional misdirect.

    I'm honestly surprised Porsche allowed them to replace the Prosche badge with an Autobot insignia.

    Probably one of those things where it’s an older car that’s not in production, so they don’t need to worry as much.

    I thought they would have wanted to keep it for branding, but I guess that's why we have the giant "PORSCHE" written across the sides of the car as part of the deal.

    Cool, now that we have all of Mirage's details, it's time to leak Optimus's truck mode!

    That Porsche's really short bio is more like CJ than Mirage.
    But CJ was Primed in Bumblebee.
    Of course a little retconning takes care of that pesky problem. Primus knows how Hasbro, Paramount and Directors love their retcons :p :lol
