why do i get the impression that this will be hilariously bad?
Third party companies are coming out left right and centre these days lol
I really hope this turns out good, jazz being a favourite of mine. But do I see some hollow legs?
Who are these people? I have never heard of them
This is going to either be really bad...
Or awesome....
The face looks a bit to cartoony and not MP enough though.
Surely SURELY there will be an MP Jazz in the next few years? Maybe he's one of the "mystery" MP sport cars Griffin is embargoed to announce from the last Australian Toy Fair?
The wheels aren't touching the ground. Are these guys North Korean?
I'm so hoping so, after all they got VW already... as for this, it's robot mode is great for me, the back of the lower legs has a hollow spot, needs a fold out panel ala mp-12 mould. Car is ok, but the render puts me in the mind of papercraft >_< the side seems too high, and definitely need to see clear windows.Quote:

Bot mode looks fantastic. If thats anything like final product i may have to pick this up if QC is ok
Impressed with the design overall, thats G1 Jazz
all i hear is autobot cars lolQuote:

Amen to that, which is why I hunted down Quakewave (and am looking at hexatron continuum or ... clonedroid's one (KO retool of a 3P unlicensed official character...), got Apollyon, and have preordered not-Reflector and not-Insecticons, and looking forward to the not-Cyclonus and not-Scourge. Also there's a 3rd 3P Astro Train in the works, not sure of the scale yet but it's got a more G1 toy aesthetic and looks alright, if not a bit blocky, so far (though it might just be upscaled G1 with joints and cuts).Quote:

Worst case they still have coneheads. Certainly is an autobot fans world with official cars and 3 p cars and minibots out the wazoo. Also they would probably make Stepper a proper general release like TFC reissues.
Jazz is one of my favourite characters of all time, I like the look of this but I have to expect an official MP Jazz is in the works. so unless this turns out to be mind-blowing I'll probably skip it.
I'd like to believe that Takara are working on an MP Jazz, really I would, but I just don't know. Their release schedule seems random.
This looks pretty good, Takara have proven themselves on deluxe size MP cars, so this is one thing I'd except they could do as well as if not better as some new 3rd party. Yet I've been waiting for Jazz since the Datsun bots were announced, not sure I can remain patient much longer without signs from above.
Also that grappling hook and winch looks kind of cool, if they do make an official one will they include his winch?
considering Takara's penchant for including accessories that were either featured heavily or blink & miss, yes, they should include the winch :)
Yeah, but it will come with MP Stepper...Quote:

Also Takotm may just do a plastic molded grappling hook arm attachment like Sideswipes pile drivers rather than a full winch.Quote:

I am hoping MP Jazz will be made in the near future so will likely pass on this. Considering his popularity I would think TT would produce him soon even though he has limited repaint/remould opportunities
Alt mode is fantastic.
but I suspect everything from the waist up has borrowed heavily from the MP Datsuns.
Yeah you know I'm down for this. I think he looks great! :p Nice headsculpt, all those little details on the alt mode.
I'm kinda surprised the 3P companies haven't tried tackling an MP scale Jazz before now.
I like the look of this as well, hopefully it is as good as it looks.:)
Looks good but transformation looks too simple
I dunno looks to have a much cleverness as a Datsunbot. Whether the designer an pull it off though is a another matter.Quote:

The head sculpt is pretty much spot on but that leg transformation is hella ugly
There are some very nice points with this, as well as some less-so - I too am quite confident we'll see an Official Jazz from TakTom at some point so am more inclined, like others, to wait this character out. :o
Wonder if they'll can it if/when TakTom shows theirs? - Like FansToys quite honourably did with their Soundwave. :)
Alt mode is pretty good but the robot mode is just nope for me, they need to find a way to better hide the rear quarter panels and wheels.
Yeah, some fold out panels like Sideswipe has would be a nice touch.Quote:
