Premium Jazz

Transformers 2007 - My first Premium series that I had kept for months. I love Jazz in the animated series because he is cool and different than the rest of the Autobot. In the 2007, it was unfortunate that he died in the hand of the megalomaniac Megatron and split into two half. But to me, he had little scene time in the movie. I only remembered him when he first arrived to earth and his transformation skill looks like he is dancing. Anyway, I also bought another Jazz but one of the Dark of the Moon exclusive (which is basically the same mold as this one). But that would be in a later post.

Bio

Just before coming to Earth, AUTOBOT JAZZ was badly damaged in a battle over a barren world in deep space. He doesn't remember a lot of the fight, even before DECEPTICON BRAWL offlined him, but he knows he was hurt really bad. Since that fight, he's worked with IRONHIDE to upgrade his endoskeleton reinforcements, and he's kept his vehicle mode absolutely pristine. Something about getting so badly damaged made him care even more than he used to about looking good.

Vehicle Mode

The suppose to be Premium version of Jazz is marred by the eroded silver paint. Maybe it is because it has been in the box for too long without proper protection or maybe it is just a factory fault. But other than that, it look almost identical to the Human Alliance Jazz. In which it looks really amazing. With details on the tire rim to the red painted Pontiac logo. I can't complain that much.

Alternate Mode

I am sorry because I did not realize that I have not extend his weapon, a sniper rifle to its maximum length. Jazz transformation was not that hard. It is quite easy and almost felt like Sidearm Sideswipe. The highly detailed paint and sculpt makes Jazz look really awesome. I love the head part where his eye would glow when light pass through. The only thing I really dislike was his hands. It just look terrible and ineffective to me. But other than that, he look really amazing and a good addition to my Transformers movie universe besides Sideswipe. On my future post, I will post the re-deco of this mold, Dark of the Moon Jazz (wasn't he dead already?).
