    Needs paint, but otherwise he's glorious - it shouldn't be difficult to buy 2 and paint the 2nd one the way it should be

    Looks a bit flat.

    Hopefully United version fills in the blanks.

    Does he have the speakers or is that only the United version?

    He looks pretty good. I had already planned on getting him, but that headsculpt really sells it for me.

    Of course he has the speakers. You can see them folded up behind his doors.

    I can't see them in the attached photos. That's why I asked.

    Awesome looking head sculpt, and excellent looking figure all around. Love the expression on his face.

    A minor thing, but I think Jazz should be smiling & not scowling like he is. Otherwise looking good overall.

    Such a huge, HUGE miss.
    I love Jazz, but the paint job on this toy is sub-par. They didn't even color the rims on the wheels or even the grill. And the fact that the area under his head is all white when he's in robot mode is just silly (why not paint it blue with a red line to match with the rest of his chest)?
    I originally pre-ordered this figure, but the more images I saw of him, the more disappointed I got, and decided that it'll be worth it to shell out $20 more for the Takara version that's sure to have a better paint job.

    Yeah, even Uni. 2.0 Prowl had more paint by a small margin.

    Good point. The mold is fantastic and we are lucky to be getting this at all. That said, these pics do show a fairly bland paint job.

    Agreed, Jamspeed... Hence my rant the other day... 2 years ago, Tracks, Jazz, and Wheel Jack were some of the highest requested wishlist figures... Now we get them and "its a huge miss" because the stripe doesnt reach his chin?. I laughed at a recent post that mentions this new Tracks' lack of "shear sexiness"... As if ANY of us though it had "sheer sexiness" when we were kids playing with toys. Thats an adult for ya... never satisfied.

    EDIT: $2.00 silver Sharpies fix all rims!!!

    I honestly think that the fact we were all waiting for a new Jazz figure makes this a whole lot worse. I mean, why bother with a figure if you're going to half ass it? And yes, Hasbro's paint job *was* half assed.
    Honestly, my initial excitement over the new Tracks and Jazz figures (two of my top five Transformers of all time) died out due to lackluster paint jobs. I really hope Takara makes up for it.

    Could've used some more paint, and the face is a bit grumpier-looking that I would've liked, but it's STILL a total winner, and bought so hard my wallet will make a crater in the cash register.


    (sorry for the use of bolding - just there to minimize people reading the first line and assuming it's just another complaint. :)  )

    Yea, could use more paint. The United one will look better for those real picky and willing to pay 20+ more to import a figure. For me grabbing this jazz for 10-12$ locally will make me a very happy guy. Also we will see alot of customs on this one i'm sure, It's just funny to see the nerd rage sometimes.
