It's weird that we never got a "Siege" version of Jazz? I guess you can used the Origin version to go with the Siege/ WFC collection or the SS for Earthrise collection too?
If I were to guess, I think maybe the line's more mature aesthetic probably led to him not being put in, considering he's a very light hearted character that wouldn't fit in with the dark tone of Siege Especially the Netflix trilogy, though he probably would've made it 100 times more bearable if he was in it
Man you made me realize I have so many different versions of Jazz. I like the FoC but it's still in the package. Almost all are except the G2 one I have. Lol
Jazz is my favorite character and yet my main jazz is the power of the primes one and my other jazz is the fall of Cybertron jazz. I need to get myself a better jazz figure
86 jazz if you want g1 earthmode jazz. I have several versions of him. Can't go wrong getting the 86 mold in its various paint schemes and origins jazz
Power of the primes Jazz was the first figure I got when I started officially collecting. I’m glad you like him though because I literally threw mine away💀
RTS is still my favorite, Never knew the speakers could combine with the gun. Blasting memes got me pretty good. Really excited to get the Gen Selects 86 Jazz as I never got the SS, but I do have the Knockout iteration which I think is still pretty great. Honorable mentions. Animated Jazz. Also I remember Cybertron Crosswise getting the Jazz treatment at a point.
You can sandwich the top of the gun between the shins in vehicle mode, letting the back of the car balance on the gun handle and making it look like it hovers, it also means the paint on the shins won't be damaged
5:03 combiner wars Jazz doing an impresion of 2007 movie Jazz last scene… My favourite is the box set one. For the PoP one, it happened to me the same as you, it was my first “G1” style Jazz and I was craving one for a while, so I had to get it as soon as it was released. Now that I have the 86 and the box set ones… poor pop jazz is replaced… even if mine is not yellowing when others did
Ah another Jazz Band! Since Rise of the Beast, I've been more accepting of Jazz variants. I have Animated, SS86, Mirage (aka Jive), Ricochet and PotP. I've been working on an intro music video for the bunch to Chainlink Charge but haven't found a version I'm happy with. I was thinking about adding a WFC Jazz, but what you said made me think twice.
since they are into concept stuff, and even tho we didnt see em on screen, I could go with a slight retool of this mold to give us an Origins Prowl & Bluestreak.
I've got a shelf that I use for special "group poses". I've got Buzzworthy OriJazz standing with Legacy Soundwave and 35th Anniversary Optimus and Megatron to recreate the Knights of Unicron band from Aligned. They're all using their weapons as their instruments
@MilesDashing back in the WFC/FoC era, they released a box set of Optimus, Megatron, Jazz, and Soundwave with extra accessories that made them look like a parody of the band KISS, called The Knights of Unicron. I believe that they are the ones that canonically wrote "You've Got The Touch" and "Instruments of Destruction" in-universe. So now I've recreated this set with new modern figures, and I'm calling it their "Knights of Unicron SIEGE (and Buzzworthy!) reunion tour"
I like all of them for different reasons. RTS/2010 is still my display Jazz. Unfortunately I had the first release SS86 Jazz and he’s as durable as a wet tissue. I have the G2 Dorito Jazz and I adore him. PotP I like because I use him as Masquerade Optimus’s limb. And then there’s the Origins. My god. What a solid figure. Probably one of my favorites from 2023. The stupid alt mode is still charming as heck and both modes are SOLID. I don’t know what black sorcery Mark Maher did to create a perfect Jazz toy but damn I want some of that juice.
And now we have another gift set 86 Jazz with the upcoming Autobot Headquarters 😅. POTP Jazz was the first Jazz I ever had; even with all the joint tightening I had to do, there’s a soft spot in my heart for that one, kinda like that “comfort toy” feel you described. SS86 Jazz has since replaced him as my definitive G1 Jazz, and I ended up donating his upper legs to Gen Selects Ricochet since my copy came in with a rusting knee pin that I couldn’t quite fix.
I have a soft spot for power of the primes Jazz too :D, he may have flaws but he isn’t so so bad. The alt mode is a beaut and the robot mode is pretty cool once the looseness is dealt with. I respect your opinion on him though. Awesome video as always
RTS was an amazing figure and one of the last I bought from Kmart for Christmas. Recently got the five pack version and it’s leagues better than my original copy which was already pretty rickety.
my favorite is the RTS Jazz mold. specifically the United version from Takara. I have 3 different Jazz figures and hes the only one that wasnt disappointing. ot sucks too, because hes my favorite autobot but it's so hard to find good versions of him imo
I used to be a champion of the old United. Then i got my hands on the new United coz someone was selling him and Sunstreaker separately, and now...I still like Takara RTS, but Legacy 86 is so much more fun to play with and transform, even if I miss RTS' superior speakers and gun. Maybe because my RTS was a bum copy with the canopy tabs always being a frightening prospect to detach for fear of snapping the clear plastic.
Anyway. I finally got Space Jazz. I was initially prepared to write him off and never think about getting him, since he is not my definitive version of Jazz. But after I got Space Jazz, I was like, my goodness, he is so fun to pose and mess around with. His joints are all tight yet smooth. No other figure short of a Metal Build ever felt this smooth and satisfying. 1) We all know Space Jazz transformation is awful. It's only a bit better than Rhinox. Anyone who tells you it is good is straight up lying. 2) His alt mode is simply a shellforming panel former. 3) Some of his articulation is a bit limited. Like his elbows only a 90. And his butterfly might as well not exist. His knees are limited. But that aside, I am not kidding. Space Jazz joints are tight yet smooth. He is so satisfying to pose.
Jazz is one of my favorite Autobots of all time. He deserves more attention in media. I've only got SS86 Jazz atm and hes just *_nice._* Really good Jazz; one of the best. Origins Jazz is super cool; would be cool to have him at some point. RTS Jazz just _looks_ *_nice_* in both modes, but hes not the best holding together, etc, but everything else is great; I really like the bot and carmodes' designs. Don't have him, probably never will, but still; hes cool. POTP is just....ehhhh, alright. I do really want Autobot 5-pack for everyone, excluding Jazz; having an extra Jazz doesn't hurt, tho. Also, I *_NEED_* Jazz in EarthSpark and more shows!!
The fact that jazz died in the first movie is a pain in the *jazz* *wheel* see if they make another jazz Of *porsche* origins jazz is the best, it’s so obvious
The RTS Jazz I still have, but it's in storage, POTP Jazz I have, but I will only use him as a different character, A character who looks similar, but isn't related to him, I call him Vibe, you know, because he goes with the flow, and how I see him as a separate character, I kinda based him on the Hot Wheels Porsche 935 of the Urban Outaw variants, the white stays the same, but the red and blue are swapped around, this gives Vibe a variety of deco choices. Come on, we can use that as G1 Jazz, it's easy to do, if we have to make a custom version, an easy repaint.
The first time I saw POTP Jazz I loved him! He may not have the best robot mode but I still think he’s cool (I don’t have him btw) I have Knockout and the mold is fun, it’s just a little finicky (that might just be my copy) and the others do look great but I personally actually like POTP Jazz the best…
My favourite jazz is ss86 jazz and even without the box set bc that is so expensive where I live that I'd rather wait for jazz to get rereleased byt with better plastic someday
as an owner of POTP Jazz, i hate it with a passion, it does constantly coming apart straight out of the box, but its transformation itself was a really good fidget thing, so... don't hate it THAT much, but it does suck
Hot take, 2010 is my least favourite. It was a nightmare trying to pose and I personally had no enjoyment having it. Can’t speak on origins, but the other two are solid to me. Potp is flawed, but given that it had to incorporate the gimmick I think it turned out alright
I still like PotP Jazz, like honestly one of my favorite combiner molds, would be one of my favorite toys overall if his shoulders hadn't gotten super loose over time and the clear plastic hadn't snapped on the back (just one of the corners though, nothing super major). SS86 for me feels worse to handle and just is not very fun, and I just don't like him? Knock-Out I think is so much better of a use of the mold and just works better for some reason, especially in alt-mode> And origin jazz is great, I lost the grappling hook but I don't care too much about it, he feels nice to handle and well-articulated, and the design is nice and proportions are good and he's just amazing aside from kind of not being fun to transform for whatever reason. Wish we had origin jazz with the potp alt-mode somehow.
This is a video I have wanted you to do for a bit. Could you do a video on generations drift. (if you still have it) That video is around 7 years old and I along with others, would like to see an updated video on it
Never had issues with the clear plastic cracking on my SS86 thus far, but the peghole is tight enough that I avoided pegging anything all the way. I am not a fan of how Origins figures look, they feel like figures made out of animation errors.
Transformers toys kind of peaked right after the second movie. The stupidly complex designs of the Bayformers forced HasTak to up their game, and they were still putting a decent amount of money into their mainline toys. I think Universe Deluxe Cyclonus has about the same amount of plastic as the Kingdom Voyager. Then came the huge drop in quality starting with Fall of Cybertron. We didn't start getting good TFs again until they majorly jacked up the prices. In Canada, Deluxes went from $20 to $30, and soon after from $30 to $35. I think when RTS Jazz came out Walmart was selling him for $17, so that means mainline Deluxes doubled in price in a little over a decade, to give us toys of roughly the same quality we had in 2010. So I'm going with sad.
Hang on, what about Fall of Cybertron Jazz's knees? What's wrong with them? They feel fine on my copy, honestly I've had more issues with the stupid shoulder transformation as my copy of sideswipe actually broke because of the stupid long tab to hold the shoulders in place so I just cut those off on both figures
So my only thing with hand swivel if they are sword users then yeah give us a swivel but if they just any ranged weapon I’m fine without a swivel would still like one but it’s not needed
Anyone that had or still has potp jazz, did anyone else see the maga on the alt mode? Because I don't see it. I have a first wave ver in package still after I heard Hasbro was calling them back because of it cause I know that it's gonna make it valuable down the road but I just don't see it, it just look like gibberish
Screw these studio series movie jazz for the win and I’m definitely not just saying that because I don’t have the 86 version and am stuck with power of the primes one
2010 Jazz: shooting deceptions
Also Jazz: Blasting “The Only Thing They Fear Is You” from his gun
Jazz got torn in two again. You went full Megatron on him.
It's weird that we never got a "Siege" version of Jazz? I guess you can used the Origin version to go with the Siege/ WFC collection or the SS for Earthrise collection too?
True
@@uainjansun I assuning they didn't make a Siege version cos of his name? Granted I'm aware he goes by "Autobot Jazz" but maybe it wasn't enough?
@Renkencen idk why i always thought we were getting one for that. Ik the next one is the SSWFC one
thats what I did with Origin Bumblebee, Origin Jazz and Origin Wheeljack
If I were to guess, I think maybe the line's more mature aesthetic probably led to him not being put in, considering he's a very light hearted character that wouldn't fit in with the dark tone of Siege
Especially the Netflix trilogy, though he probably would've made it 100 times more bearable if he was in it
POTP Jazz is what got me back into transformers. I agree it's not as good as it could be, but I love the thing
RTS Jazz is just such a classic
Agreed
Jazz is my comfort character
It's kind of amazing how much PotP Jazz makers me think "This looks like Jazz!" while not actually looking like Jazz.
I have orange jazz. Who i affectionately call circus peanut jazz 😂
Jazz is my boy by far one of my favorites alongside Sandstorm
Man you made me realize I have so many different versions of Jazz. I like the FoC but it's still in the package. Almost all are except the G2 one I have. Lol
One other cool thing with RTS Jazz is that he can actually store his weapon in robot mode as well! Same exact spot as the vehicle storage
Jazz is my favorite character and yet my main jazz is the power of the primes one and my other jazz is the fall of Cybertron jazz. I need to get myself a better jazz figure
I would suggest 86 or origins if your going for a g1 style
86 jazz if you want g1 earthmode jazz. I have several versions of him. Can't go wrong getting the 86 mold in its various paint schemes and origins jazz
SS 86 is objectively the best version (as are most of the SS 86 toys), but my personal favorite is RTS.
@@MilesDashing i agree with both parts of this statement.
Power of the primes Jazz was the first figure I got when I started officially collecting. I’m glad you like him though because I literally threw mine away💀
2:48 i was not ready for that
RTS is still my favorite, Never knew the speakers could combine with the gun. Blasting memes got me pretty good.

Ultimate Gift Set Jazz is peak Jazz.
You can sandwich the top of the gun between the shins in vehicle mode, letting the back of the car balance on the gun handle and making it look like it hovers, it also means the paint on the shins won't be damaged
Classic paint Reveal the shield for me, hands down, 86 being my runner up

I would love a new legacy Jazz, with the articulation that they are putting in the figures, I need it
Ah love a good Jazz Festival!

I love rts jazz so much ngl

You must be bayverse Megatron, cuz you ripped poor potp Jazz in half
I prefer the United version of RTS Jazz. Got his colors right and it looks oh so nice.
RTS was an amazing figure and one of the last I bought from Kmart for Christmas.
Recently got the five pack version and it’s leagues better than my original copy which was already pretty rickety.
i got potp jazz for christmas. he snapped in half within a few days
I don't know why but when I saw the thumbnail the first thing that came to mind was the ginyu force pose

I need that box set jazz so bad
I know the first ones chest does do that but I do think that a more g1 paint job would have it appeal to me more
Favorite transformer ever 🎉🎉 let's be quick lets be daring last one in is a rusty harring- g1 Jazz heck people forget he was primes 2nd in command
TAV-23 Jazz(Transformers Adventure or RID 2015) would’ve been a good comparison too.
My favorite is actually the PotP Jazz. I’ve had exactly two G1-style Jazzes and I genuinely was so disappointed with the origins version.
ive got POTP ricochet and like the vehicle mode is gorgous and i mean BEUTIFUL
the robot mode tho, flimsier than wet tissue paper
Next is wheeljack yes? YEs
Don't kill me for this, but I honestly like potp jazz
thats a rattlesnake
My favourite jazz is ss86 jazz and even without the box set bc that is so expensive where I live that I'd rather wait for jazz to get rereleased byt with better plastic someday

Great review!
Never had issues with the clear plastic cracking on my SS86 thus far, but the peghole is tight enough that I avoided pegging anything all the way.
I am not a fan of how Origins figures look, they feel like figures made out of animation errors.
Idk if it's impressive or sad that the RTS one is the oldest and probably the best one here
its just aged supper well and has good plastic quality
I'd say impressive how it's held up. It can still fit with new figures.
Disagree
Transformers toys kind of peaked right after the second movie. The stupidly complex designs of the Bayformers forced HasTak to up their game, and they were still putting a decent amount of money into their mainline toys. I think Universe Deluxe Cyclonus has about the same amount of plastic as the Kingdom Voyager.

I think when RTS Jazz came out Walmart was selling him for $17, so that means mainline Deluxes doubled in price in a little over a decade, to give us toys of roughly the same quality we had in 2010. So I'm going with sad.
My favorite transformer!!!
I need to get potp jazz and grimlock and swoop and slug.
i had the window on my origin jazz get a little crack in it when i clicked it into place and it bothers me deeply
I love jazz
so...ya like jazz ?
Yes tnat giftset jazz is the g2 jazz deco
Am I the only one who wants him in the new movies?
2010, I like the speakers
Jokes aside, I don't know who my favourite is...
Hang on, what about Fall of Cybertron Jazz's knees? What's wrong with them? They feel fine on my copy, honestly I've had more issues with the stupid shoulder transformation as my copy of sideswipe actually broke because of the stupid long tab to hold the shoulders in place so I just cut those off on both figures
So my only thing with hand swivel if they are sword users then yeah give us a swivel but if they just any ranged weapon I’m fine without a swivel would still like one but it’s not needed
What's your opinion of Jackpot from the ss86 jazz?
Pretty sure he made a video about it.
I have Fall Of Cybertron Jazz and have since its release and yeah the knees are extremely loose and I hate it.
Love my boy Jazz. Except for POTP. Man that’s a bad toy.
Anyone that had or still has potp jazz, did anyone else see the maga on the alt mode? Because I don't see it. I have a first wave ver in package still after I heard Hasbro was calling them back because of it cause I know that it's gonna make it valuable down the road but I just don't see it, it just look like gibberish
I have RTS jazz, but his arms killed themselves, its fine though, im making my own TF story thing, so i just had his arms get cut off in the story
Hey where's that place you get those used transformers again?
y'all, do not translate the cybertronian on the side of potp jazz
Origins is my fave
hey habro will we ever get core 86 jazz
Tomorrow I will be getting G1 kup beacuse why not he looks awesome
Where the magic square jazz😅
5:03 2007 jazz moment
Power of the primes jazz with MAGA on it is the pinnacle of my collection.
Me to he is great
Fun? Fact: on the left door of an original copy potp jazz it says MAGA in cybertronian.
Where did you get the origin Jazz
POTP more like POOP
Epik
What stand do you use and where can I get it ??
Screw these studio series movie jazz for the win and I’m definitely not just saying that because I don’t have the 86 version and am stuck with power of the primes one
I think power of the primes jazz has a cool design but wasn’t well executed
