What makes Emgo the best reviewer is the quality of his videos, he doesn’t get caught up in the rat race of being the first to review a figure, you can actually see what & where every piece pegs in because his camera is sit up for us to see the transformation and not so he can, and the #1 reason is that he has a great sense of humor. Thanks Emgo you are the GOAT reviewer!
I agree. With some reviewers, the camera angles can be quite messy, with jump-cuts and reviewers not explaining things properly. I always tend to go back to emgo's reviews over others
I know I'm late to the party on this one but I just bought this and was watching other reviewers transform it and saving you for last so I could see it done right. Right before I clicked on this I watched Bobby Skullface's review and him basically man handling it as always and he never quite got it. After watching this I'd just like to say as transformer reviewers go it like comparing Slipnot to Mozart. You make it look easy brother. Your the gold standard. I've heard so many other reviewers say if you wanna see it done right, watch EMGO do it. To have the respect of your peers is a rare thing this day and age. ✌️🤖
Sweetness! I just received my FT Jive earlier today and was disappointed I couldn't find your review/ transformation on Jive. Little did I expect the transformer gods to provide this video within hours. Primus bless you EmGo.
The ending was the funniest thing ever to date! I think the whole conversation was just Prime telling Jazz to turn it down and Jazz reluctantly agrees at some point. Lol
The best follow up is to have that playing while Optimus and Megatron are about to fight, both turn to stare at Jazz, Megatron raises his fusion cannon, and when the music cuts out he can complain that he had his best speech ever and yet nobody heard a word of it.
I'm good as he's going to stay in robot mode. I've got Transform and Rollout Jazz for the alt mode and that'll be how I display them. I'm not a fan of bending plastics and that door flexing is a huge no no for me. With my luck, I'd end up breaking it.
Serious question, all of your years of doing this, do you ever get tired of learning the transformations and doing it over and over again? Idk if anyone ever tells you but thank you for what you do.
Some transformations look easy and some make me think of the puzzle cube from Hellraiser, ... And I will also thank you for what you learn just to show us.
Badcube made a really good updated Sideswipe and Red Alert. Unfortunately so many were satisfied with the official Sideswipe nobody really bought it. Shame cause looking at it now, Steamroll looks the part a lot better
Right after you said, 'Patience', I pulled a Megatron and ripped Jive in two. Accidentally, of course, and right at his wishbone thing, so its fine. You're the best, EmGo!
by Primus, I'd sacrifice at least 30% of the look of this thing in favor of a transformation that doesn't make me want to disembowel whoever designed it. 3P's obsession with sliders is going to kill me one day I swear.
Nice mold, but I wish it had more chrome on the body, like the midriff, shins, rifle, face, and real world detail on the stripes and car body. I guess Toyhax Reprolabels will do those. 🤔✌️😉
I absolutely love the way emgo does his video, because he doesn't more the figures all over the camera..he stay in one plays ,his camera is extremely excellent
I just LOVE that you made a review for this figure! and I got mine the same day your review came out, which was perfect! your reviews are the reason I first started collecting MP transformers, and you are still my favorite reviewer
This!!! OMG this. Downbeat has a great alt mode, don't get me wrong, the bot mode is passable, but Jive blows it away! In the end though, it's what your wallet can withstand! 😂😂
This figure is awesome, and part of me feels like it's mold could be inspiration for a proper movie bumblebee. maybe not because its based off a simple G1 aesthetic, but with the way the legs transform, doors line up and even how they managed to seamlessly turn the front wheels into a shoulder of sorts. makes ya wonder if they can do this than how can we still not get a proper bee backpack lol
Like I've said in the Mirage review, just got mine last week this time and it's amazing. Fits in in with my other MPs a bit too well. I haven't transformed him yet, not because I'm scared of the transformation, but because it just looks so good the way it is (and I have SS86 jazz as my fiddle figure). Got a few downsides, one being that the shoulder ratchets are so tight, I can't pivot his arms without untabing them and the chest. And he came with two happy faces instead of one being his own mouthed expression, but I rarely swap faces on my figures anyways.
Just got the reissue of this guy recently, you’re not kidding about how difficult the doors are to transform. The rest isn’t awful, the legs can be a bit frustrating… but those doors. It’s no nerve wracking. I worry about breaking it each time.
You mention your masterpiece shelf a lot. Do you have a video of it? Also curious to see your video set up (where tri-pod is, etc when filming, etc). Thanks! Love the videos
Finally a review of this figure which shows that he can have the door wings as an option, I must have seen about 10 now of which ONLY Emgo here shows that it's possible.
Really wish I got this guy when he wasn’t sold out. Jazz was my favourite from g1 I love is look and is car mode🔥🔥 is there like and app or something I can get that notifies me when new stuff like this is in the works or coming out?
I'm tempted to get this figure even though I already have Maketoys Downbeat. I'd probably display that one in alt mode and this one in bot mode if I do get him.
And this My friends is the reason why we should wait for the Official Masterpiece version whether original OR K.O. to spare ourselves of those fiddly "not-a-fan of" transformations
Hey, gang. Obviously emgo likes BBTS, and I've enjoyed buying stuff from them. I've also picked up stuff from Tfsafari and it's mostly worked out, though they did lose one and had to resend it. My question is: are there any Transformers online stores that you guys wouldn't recommend? I was watching another UA-camr and they were big on ShowZ, but I don't have any experience with them.
I finally picked up the X version of this (with the updated livery apparently). The transformation is unchanged and holy cow is it finnicky. I wouldn't call it impossible...downright impressive honestly but NOT fun in the slightest. Got him in car mode now and I think he's gonna stay there for a bit. He's solid but I was afraid the whole time of breaking something.
God this figure looks so good! And it really does the G1 design justice. Also, love the stop-motion bit at the end. Might I ask what the song's name is? Sounds like a real head-banger.
Mt all time favorite autobot. Fans Toys did an awesome job on this figure. Emgo do you think those hinges could break over time by the doors? It looks like you had to put force to fold them. Keep up the great reviews.
As for the actual toy itself he looks good but if you want to just have an MP Jazz for the shelf at the best value for the dollar I don't know if he's better than the Transform and Rollout one that was half the price (but whose transformation is a special kind of hell... not an issue if you're never going to transform him of course). Good luck finding that Jazz figure for the original $65 now, though... last I saw they're doing a re-release for $80.
What makes Emgo the best reviewer is the quality of his videos, he doesn’t get caught up in the rat race of being the first to review a figure, you can actually see what & where every piece pegs in because his camera is sit up for us to see the transformation and not so he can, and the #1 reason is that he has a great sense of humor.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it :)
I agree. With some reviewers, the camera angles can be quite messy, with jump-cuts and reviewers not explaining things properly. I always tend to go back to emgo's reviews over others
Other reviewers (esp the first to review certain figure) is just an opening act, Emgo is the true final & definitive act.
The amount of detail they managed to cram into that one is just amazing, im freaking lovin it.
I know I'm late to the party on this one but I just bought this and was watching other reviewers transform it and saving you for last so I could see it done right.

12:19 indeed I won't ever unsee it
The “smiling chest” is Stitch from Lilo& Stitch!!!
Now I can’t unsee it, haha.
I saw that same thing. Stitch's cousin.
I love the end credit scene, the conversation was just so captivating and inspiring. The music was rocking too. ☺️
He is cartoon dead on looks
Smooth even with out the wings
Out or shoulder launcher I am
getting this guy!
Sweetness! I just received my FT Jive earlier today and was disappointed I couldn't find your review/ transformation on Jive. Little did I expect the transformer gods to provide this video within hours. Primus bless you EmGo.
Lol
why not, new religion! primism
@@embeddd "Till all are one!" 👍
His chest mouth got that Stitch vibe, doesn't it? 😅
All i can keep thinking of is that scene from Airplane lol...
Ah yes, the classic Fanstoys experience. Incredible bot mode. Gorgeous alt mode. But even God himself fears the task of switching between modes
it is a work of art, the takara masterpiece and fanstoys do the best at making them as cartoon as possible
The ending was the funniest thing ever to date! I think the whole conversation was just Prime telling Jazz to turn it down and Jazz reluctantly agrees at some point. Lol
The best follow up is to have that playing while Optimus and Megatron are about to fight, both turn to stare at Jazz, Megatron raises his fusion cannon, and when the music cuts out he can complain that he had his best speech ever and yet nobody heard a word of it.
I got my son ironhide and arcee from the bumblebee movie and we had to watch your videos because we couldn't understand the instructions...lol
Awesome vid! I like the background music! Idk why but it brings me back to being kid, Saturday morning cartoons etc. Very enjoyable , nostalgic, etc!
Yay!!! Thank you! I don’t watch any of those other Jive Turkeys, so this was much anticipated.
As for those other turkeys, they better jump and jive for this.
12:16 his smiling chest looks more like Lilo and Stitch 😄
Definitely need a “ Just transform it” for this guy
I'm good as he's going to stay in robot mode. I've got Transform and Rollout Jazz for the alt mode and that'll be how I display them. I'm not a fan of bending plastics and that door flexing is a huge no no for me. With my luck, I'd end up breaking it.
Serious question, all of your years of doing this, do you ever get tired of learning the transformations and doing it over and over again?
Idk if anyone ever tells you but thank you for what you do.
Some transformations look easy and some make me think of the puzzle cube from Hellraiser, ... And I will also thank you for what you learn just to show us.
I wonder if he has 2 of all his figures so he doesn’t have to constantly go back and forth transforming them for comparisons!
@@ultrajazz5335 I've wondered that as well lol
Hi emgo,
Will you review the upgrade kit 2.0 for the jinbao gravity builder anytime soon ?
I’m not gonna be picking that up, sorry.
What a beautiful bot!!!!
"Jazz: hey Prime, lets Jive around 😁 🔊🔊🎼🎵🎶"
This is the first time I’ve heard someone mention that his legs are on a slider.
One of my favorite A Tribe Called Quest songs, Jive (We've Got).
I bet the conversation was about Prime asking Jazz if he can rise.
MP Ironhide and Sideswipe need updated figures bad
Badcube made a really good updated Sideswipe and Red Alert. Unfortunately so many were satisfied with the official Sideswipe nobody really bought it. Shame cause looking at it now, Steamroll looks the part a lot better
@@IamGalvatron Steamroll is on my MP shelf, while my MP itself sits in car mode! 😂😂 Bad cubes Sideswipe is amazing imo!
The chest mouth makes it look like a clown Stitch. XD
Right after you said, 'Patience', I pulled a Megatron and ripped Jive in two. Accidentally, of course, and right at his wishbone thing, so its fine. You're the best, EmGo!
so, im not actualy able to watch the review right now but at least i can say "oh look, another one"
Thanks for the non frustrating transformation. Do you ever have to watch your old videos to remember how to transform old figures?
All the time lol
8:31 may be my favorite emgo joke to date! Great review
Love this videos so much, great quality emgo, you're maybe the best reviewer i see before
Glad you like them!
by Primus, I'd sacrifice at least 30% of the look of this thing in favor of a transformation that doesn't make me want to disembowel whoever designed it. 3P's obsession with sliders is going to kill me one day I swear.
12:16 who else sees Stitch?? 😂
Nice mold, but I wish it had more chrome on the body, like the midriff, shins, rifle, face, and real world detail on the stripes and car body. I guess Toyhax Reprolabels will do those. 🤔✌️😉
I clicked fast forward a couple times in quick succession, and it sounded like you said 'Vanna The Hutt'. As in, Vanna White with Jabba proportions.
Starting to wonder when Takara is going to remake Sideswipe
I absolutely love the way emgo does his video, because he doesn't more the figures all over the camera..he stay in one plays ,his camera is extremely excellent
I just LOVE that you made a review for this figure! and I got mine the same day your review came out, which was perfect!
your reviews are the reason I first started collecting MP transformers, and you are still my favorite reviewer
Awesome! Thank you!
The usual box yeeting.... I LOVE IT
Beautiful bot love the g1 stly and the way how his arms are in alt mode just like his old g1 toy.
Which is better, this figure or Make Toys Downbeat?
This!!! OMG this. Downbeat has a great alt mode, don't get me wrong, the bot mode is passable, but Jive blows it away! In the end though, it's what your wallet can withstand! 😂😂
Great review, thanks Emgo!
I'll be using this to help transform this fiddly beast!
Also... Hilarious skit. Nice work
You transformed him without damaging it.. impressive 👍
He looks good

I love the robot mode but out of the box was really tight making the transformation less enjoyable then I hoped but still worth it
Awesome review 👍👍 hey, do you like podcasts ?
You mention your masterpiece shelf a lot. Do you have a video of it? Also curious to see your video set up (where tri-pod is, etc when filming, etc). Thanks! Love the videos
The arms on this one I think fall in to the one time where the second verse is three/quarters of the first. Or at least in my mind. 🙃
Hermoso el mio tengo que ir a buscarlo al correo 😊😊😊
Finally a review of this figure which shows that he can have the door wings as an option, I must have seen about 10 now of which ONLY Emgo here shows that it's possible.
Absolutely gorgeous figure, up there with their Soundwave and Galvatron as my favorite FT releases
After all this time I still love your Reviews and the funny clips at the and! 😊👍🏼
Really wish I got this guy when he wasn’t sold out. Jazz was my favourite from g1 I love is look and is car mode🔥🔥 is there like and app or something I can get that notifies me when new stuff like this is in the works or coming out?
12:13 Reminds me of Stitch.
No one has any love for Generation toys J4zz?
I'm tempted to get this figure even though I already have Maketoys Downbeat. I'd probably display that one in alt mode and this one in bot mode if I do get him.
What music is this from when jazz talks to Optimus?🤔
I can't imagine what it must be like to have the skill, the patience, and the attention span to be able to actually transform these things.
Fans toys is the definition of Fine, I'll do it my self, Since Takara has YET to give us a true Masterpiece Jazz or Mirage
And this My friends is the reason why we should wait for the Official Masterpiece version whether original OR K.O. to spare ourselves of those fiddly "not-a-fan of" transformations
Amazing transformation
Anybody see Stitch from that Lilo & Stitch Movie in Jive’s chest?
I gave this model checking out couple weeks ago!!!!😄
Next time you transform him try up then down its easy you dont have to squeeze thlngs pass things lol
12:16 looks like stitch from lilo & stitch
They named him jive 💀💀💀
For those of you that have him, how does this compare to Maketoys’ Jazz?
I just ordered this guy!
Mhmmmm he isn't mad at Jazz that the music was so loud. I guessing he like that music like him does.
so when he deploys his speakers from his spoiler in his alt mode
is that a spoiler alert?
ay lmao
I need a MP scale Jazz its mu must have figure right now
interms of 3rd party masterpiece figures, fanstoys wins in my opinion

He's solid but I was afraid the whole time of breaking something.
Hoping we might see an official MP one day especially with a Porsche being in the upcoming movie. This is a nice option for now at least.
You want to put his arms in an OLÈ pose when transforming into car mode
God this figure looks so good! And it really does the G1 design justice. Also, love the stop-motion bit at the end.
Might I ask what the song's name is? Sounds like a real head-banger.
Every now and then, UA-cam Recommends comes through.

Mt all time favorite autobot. Fans Toys did an awesome job on this figure. Emgo do you think those hinges could break over time by the doors? It looks like you had to put force to fold them. Keep up the great reviews.
only time will tell
Jive looks Very good.
26:18 what was the conversation about?
The ending skit 😂
I’m confused why I didn’t get the joke about Mirage. I watched the review of him maybe i forgot? Can someone explain
How is this more complicated than the bayverse figure
what is better fans toys jazz or fans toys mirage i don't know what to buy
this is a great figure but i will say yea the transformation is a bit of a fiddle faddle but it looks great so ill take the pain
hehehe when you've open the mouth .. it's look like toothless from How to train your dragon hehehe
Nicely done but they need to complete their not Menasor and add more to their not Superion.
I need to get a g1 jazz
As for the actual toy itself he looks good but if you want to just have an MP Jazz for the shelf at the best value for the dollar I don't know if he's better than the Transform and Rollout one that was half the price (but whose transformation is a special kind of hell... not an issue if you're never going to transform him of course). Good luck finding that Jazz figure for the original $65 now, though... last I saw they're doing a re-release for $80.
i still say scorge and cycloens need a mp
The smiling chest is gonna haunt me 😑😁
The first line of the bio has his actual name*
i still think maketoys alt mode looks better...
His chest with the mouth looks like stich
