if you do not want your packaging damaged, go to the toy shop and buy it. Yes, toy shops still exsist, the internet has not quite brought down the commercial structure
I just bought this Jazz last week. I really like it, but I'm definitely going to do some "antiquing" on it. Probably going to make some warm dark gray with black and red acrylic paint slightly watered down. After that I'll probably apply it very heavily with a rag, then damp the rag and wipe it back off to leave dark lines and leave some gray smears.
Thanks for the review (from all the reviews - 4 in total, you are actually the 4th I clicked), you gave a pretty detailed description of the transformation. I particularly had problems with the back to car version. Now I manage to put back the arms correctly. Thanks again! (y)
Great review :) I actually enjoy Jazz a lot, my main complaint is the feet/how the wheels end up. I wish there was a way for them to integrate the actual wheels into his feet, like they did with wfc bumblebee
The vehicle mode and robot looks nice, even though there are a few nitpicks. One of those being the visible joint sticking out in vehicle mode. Another nitpick is the uninspired transformation, but that goes for the FoC line that I have thus far. My 5 and 6 year old like it because of how easy it is to transform them, but for me personally I like just slightly more complexity in the transformations, I also would have liked to see light piping like what we had in the WfC line.
When I first got jazz I didn't think much of him at all, but he grew on me a lot to be honest! I agree with the empty space being sucky and that the white is farrr too white. But I do like him a lot now.
If I remember from the G1 Show, Jazz and Ratchet rotated 2nd in command duties. (am I wrong?) been a while... DFC (Discovery Family Channel) runs the 80's Transformers Cartoon, but It airs 6:00 in the Morning at my location.
I was kind of dissapointed when I first opened the box, specially because I already had in my hand the only other Jazz I own, the Movie mold repainted in G1 colors, so the difference in plastic quality was striking, however the toy grows in you, after a few days I started to really like it and now I love it.
I got this guy today, for two main reasons: Toys R Us have the FOC deluxe figures at a reduced price now (and least the ones here) and I didn't have a Jazz figure in my collection. I think the vehicle mode is the better of the two. His robot mode looks out of proportion, particularly the large torso with the skinny legs. Really wish they designed that better.
1:44 I did that with Optimus Prime and stuck it by his feet, and I must say, it's very nice looking having a figure with G1 styled Tech Specs displayed beneath him
I was totally unable to deal with this toy until I saw this review. The transformation in the instructions was never too clear on how you have to swivel the shoulders to get them to lock in place for the transformation.
thanks for pointing out the weird twist/turn you have to do to line the arms up properly for vehicle mode. The instructions don't really show this. I had him mistransformed until I watched this
Have you ever seen the people who like keeping the boxes in mint condition for display. Or they might just give it as a present for someones birthday or on christmas and they'll say "WHY IS THW BOX LIKE THIS, WHY DID YOU BUY THIS!"
the colors remind me of Transmetals 2 Dinobot. He was also very white with the metallic blue. Funny how you say you highly recommend Jazz at the end, but kinda bashed him the rest of the time. I saw all three figures in my local T'R'U. I had Jazz in hand, but opted for Shockwave. I think I made the right decision.
You know they can't do away with 'Autobot Jazz'. No matter how much any of us wish it were possible, Hasbro can't trademark commonly used words. But I agree, a wash would just make the molded detail pop.
It's Important to some collector were the packaging is mint cause of artwork. I collect transformers and not open them and in 20-30 years it's special mint toy sealed in box so it's like a gem.
i dont think you know what he meant when he said "jazz is beast" because that means he thinks its awesome, it means anything is awesome when you say it "is beast"
My only complaint about the Fall of Cybertron figures released so far is the fact that they're pretty hollow. I'm kind of hoping Grimlock will buck that trend when he comes out next year.
Why is it that all of these figures feel like a major step down from the four (five if you count Cliffjumper) they did for War for Cybertron? All of those figures were sleek, solid and looked fantastic. So far all of the Fall of Cybertron figures I've seen (with the exception of Shockwave) have all kinds of hollow spaces and gaps in their robot modes while at least half of the vehicle alt modes are blocky messes.
I got both Jazz and Optimus from my local Toys R Us and I really like both figures, especially Optimus. My problem is with Jazz and how he transforms. I do agree with you about the hole he's got. It is weird, really weird... So far, I like the new figures...i'm liking the FoC figures, as a new transformers collector...
the alt modes 4 prime and jazz are the accelerated alt modes 4 them in the game. btw the game is awesome. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! on the final mission you can either play as prime or megatron.
Thanks for the review! I definitely won't be getting this figure, despite the fact that I like the overall design of the character. The empty spaces in both modes, the boring white (although I could add a black wash myself), plus the fact that the proportions don't look right are deal-breakers.
jazz is my favorite transformers of all time and i love this figure gonna get all three of the fall of cybetron 1st wave, and by the way great reveiw optibotimus
Hi! I just got my first transformers ever today, and it just so happens to be Jazz. I really love him besides the fact that I just can't seem to get him into Vehicle mode right. I watched your demonstration, but I've been trying for a good hour now, and I cant seem to get the tab on the arm to slip in right. I can't figure out how you rotated it.
I have this coming in the mail. To me he looks top heavy. He has this big torso and small legs. I also said that to TFs: Prime Optimus and I ended up really liking that figure
Great review. My first time commenting. Love the face sculpt. Only thing not a fan of is the wheels, think it would look a little better with the hub cap look, maybe a paint app. Wheels look to dark for the figure to me. Still def getting it. Great review
We realized he has 6 wheels, a boring transformation, overly tight ratchet joints, and color to camouflage him on your screen. Shockwave just surpasses him in every way.
I really like the figure, Jazz is my favorite transformer but I think that the legs could be a lil bigger in prportion to the chest. But it's an awesome figure
If you haven't already talked to them about the packing issues OPB you might want too just because if they know a famous YT reviewier got product from them & was disappointed they might at least refund some of your money or provide you with better samples. Of course the main goal is they start providing better service to all their customers, but you do deserve something for receivng substandard packaging when you paid for MOC carded figures. Even if it's a better packed figure in the future.
are you going to get the new kreo's? i mean the fall of cybertron toys are OK, thanks to your videos but... there's a wheel jack kreo you will be interested in that because your a wheel jack fan. any way it's your choice
Cmon guys. He gave his jonest opinion and we should respect. The vehicle looks cool but the robot mode could use a few fixes. Although in the game version looks so much cooler
i just got 2 versions of a figure which might be a variant... my son is going to do a comparison vid on my channel so yeah. i wanna ask if it is a variant or not? or did i get a takara one packaged in the hasbro one??
I think I'll wait for the sideswipe (& hopefully sunstreaker) remolds of this. I'm not a fan of the head sculpt or the weapon. I'll get the reveal the shield Jazz to stand in for this one
if you do not want your packaging damaged, go to the toy shop and buy it. Yes, toy shops still exsist, the internet has not quite brought down the commercial structure
so, are u keeping each box of each figure??
Ow Leolegendary10 I didn’t expect you to be here
He stands out really well
Anyone in 2018?
Me senpi
2021

Oh wow, I only just realised how much Cybertron Bee looks like his earth form after watching this. Mind = Blown

cybertronian Koenigsegg
sangrat insaor never thought of that actually
Nah he looks more like a Cybertronian Hennessey Venom
I concur on all points of this review.Even so much about the dull white paint work that I'm going to repaint it as it should look like in the game.
Great review :) I actually enjoy Jazz a lot, my main complaint is the feet/how the wheels end up. I wish there was a way for them to integrate the actual wheels into his feet, like they did with wfc bumblebee

+Jettscreamer99 at my location it airs at 5:00 in the morring

After 13 years, I finally have this figure.
what is your favorite figure of your whole collection?
3:02 lol
My mind is broken: first glance at the car mode out of the packaging my mind thought "hmm... this car looks kinda like an oreo. now i want an oreo"
I was totally unable to deal with this toy until I saw this review. The transformation in the instructions was never too clear on how you have to swivel the shoulders to get them to lock in place for the transformation.
It doesn't look like the white color is too bright, but it looks like the plastic is translucent instead of being opaque.
awesome jazz figure and awesome review i cant wait to get the combiners from this series
"the legs look very close together" *pushes legs closer together*
Jazz is my favorite autobot he looks awesome in white in war for cybertron . Cool review
I saw him perfectly! love the figure because of your review. I can deffinetly going to buy this figure after the bruticus.
Great review. Can't wait to see it in stores. Have fun at sdcc. I hope you're able to get that CJ for me. Thanks again for trying to
thanks for pointing out the weird twist/turn you have to do to line the arms up properly for vehicle mode. The instructions don't really show this. I had him mistransformed until I watched this
Have you seen the new Takary Tomy Jazz pictures? the paintjob on that thing is beautiful!
Might have to buy it.
The way u started the review and the way u said damaged package.........cracked me up bro!
Have you ever seen the people who like keeping the boxes in mint condition for display. Or they might just give it as a present for someones birthday or on christmas and they'll say "WHY IS THW BOX LIKE THIS, WHY DID YOU BUY THIS!"

When his legs are moved close together, they look like the legs from the G1 Kup toy lol...hmm, this mold would make a good custom FOC KUP :P
A review is giving ur thoughts about something, thats basically what hes doing
not a bad figure, im just waitng for the sideswipe repaint. now that is a great use for the mold
we don't know if the dinobots are getting toys yet
You know they can't do away with 'Autobot Jazz'.
No matter how much any of us wish it were possible, Hasbro can't trademark commonly used words.

i dont think you know what he meant when he said "jazz is beast" because that means he thinks its awesome, it means anything is awesome when you say it "is beast"
When I get him I might take some games workshop wash to him :) Good idea!
My only complaint about the Fall of Cybertron figures released so far is the fact that they're pretty hollow. I'm kind of hoping Grimlock will buck that trend when he comes out next year.
He's knitpicking about the paint because not alot of people can custom, hes doing a favour for us.
your right he is cool
You can use gray gundam marker to breake the white coulor. Panelines:)
the optibotimus shipping co. uses high end paper towel and correct sized boxes for their shipments.
I thought the same with mine... that white is waaayyy too bright. Planning to marker mine up at somepoint. I agree, the car mode is nice tho
nice review optibotimus

I got my jazz and shockwave from amazon, I also ordered Optimus Prime from amazon as well, the boxes came in perfect condition :D
I got both Jazz and Optimus from my local Toys R Us and I really like both figures, especially Optimus. My problem is with Jazz and how he transforms. I do agree with you about the hole he's got. It is weird, really weird...
So far, I like the new figures...i'm liking the FoC figures, as a new transformers collector...
you realize all three were in one box, he didn't keep on buying from them lol
should i get the fall of cybertron jazz, or the special ops jazz? or use my money to get a TFC Hercules toy?
the alt modes 4 prime and jazz are the accelerated alt modes 4 them in the game. btw the game is awesome. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! on the final mission you can either play as prime or megatron.
I love jazz 😎😎
I'm curious...what makes prime so bad? He's rather fun to play with. Expect for the vehicle mode being a little short.
im just surprised they didnt try using a smaller box and fold the plastic bubble in half
would you rather it be cast in white or that crappy grey that hasbro uses?
Thanks for the review! I definitely won't be getting this figure, despite the fact that I like the overall design of the character. The empty spaces in both modes, the boring white (although I could add a black wash myself), plus the fact that the proportions don't look right are deal-breakers.
They are, it's been confirmed for 2013
I wish they could have retooled this into barricade
jazz is my favorite transformers of all time and i love this figure gonna get all three of the fall of cybetron 1st wave, and by the way great reveiw optibotimus
Perhaps "underwhelming" is a better description for this figure? Thanks for the look.
Do you think this FOC Jazz would be compatible with RTS Jazz Longblast mod? Are the ball joints in those figures' head and hands the same size?
love this figure! have it myself, but my sideswipe arm broke off because the tab that the arm rest on in car mode is too big on him.
I think I am going to have to do some painting to this guy

I like the vehicle mode. It's like a Cybertronian version of Porsche Carrera GT.
His point is that you should give him a kinda black look like you wanted
I really like the figure, Jazz is my favorite transformer but I think that the legs could be a lil bigger in prportion to the chest. But it's an awesome figure

We need a customs version; maybe frenzyrumble or charliesmagic would want to try something to improve the toy...
Someone help.I can't get the arms at the same level to go in to the section.They are always a little bit higher.
He looks like a Colgate product xD I don't like his very thin waist much, but I'm really digging that vehicle mode
The only FoC figure I care to own, because I like Jazz.
I could see Jazz just fine.
try buying a gundam marker, and panel line so it won't look too bad.
well, i can see black and red wheels and blue bits so i can see Jazz fine
Is the Fall Of Cybertron line finished?
I hope not because i REALLY need a Grimlock
Jazz has so much swag though
The white on white doesn't bother me at all...
I think of it as a special kind of
stealth mode...
are you going to get the new kreo's? i mean the fall of cybertron toys are OK, thanks to your videos but... there's a wheel jack kreo you will be interested in that because your a wheel jack fan. any way it's your choice
are you talking about the white and grey jazz?
Looks like this jazz ould use more black in his robot form to break up the white.
wanted to get this figure but wasn't sure due to the way it looked and how it seemed in other reviews
Did anyone noticed that those black circles on Jazz´s feet are fake wheels? cuz they look bad.
Actually, theres already pictures of the FOC Starscream. look him up :)
you people who say u cant see jazz have super bad eye sight i have glasses but when i take them off i can see jazz perfictly
Hey guys which one should I get?? Shockwave, or jazz or rid cliff jumper? Please respond!
Cmon guys. He gave his jonest opinion and we should respect. The vehicle looks cool but the robot mode could use a few fixes. Although in the game version looks so much cooler
unfortunately for me they are not in any of the stores in my area.
i just got 2 versions of a figure which might be a variant... my son is going to do a comparison vid on my channel so yeah. i wanna ask if it is a variant or not? or did i get a takara one packaged in the hasbro one??
i have both sideswipe and jazz its the exact protoform/mold but the only difference is the head and chest
are you gonna get the new fall of cybertron sideswipe.
I think I'll wait for the sideswipe (& hopefully sunstreaker) remolds of this. I'm not a fan of the head sculpt or the weapon. I'll get the reveal the shield Jazz to stand in for this one
Awesome review
Are u gonna get the reprolabels for crankcase and will u review them
