Bay's final word on Jazz in TF2? (SPOILERS)

[G1Optimal]

........then they can bring Jazz back as Meister.

That is along the lines of what i was thinking ,
"also" They could change the name of jazz, to more like a rapster (sp?) feel to it.

"Especially" when they re-release things with small - medium alterations or/and accessories that were not included with the original releases.

I voted Jazz stay dead in the "which chraracter do you not want to see in the next tf movie?" question. I like Jazz, but believe he must stay dead for the reasons Goktimus mentioned earlier. Also if he comes back then who cares who dies in this movie, cuase they'll just come back in the next one. Once you start bringing dead heroes back to life all bets are of, and so is the suspense.

Yeah but Optimus single handedly carried TF's for the last 20+ years!

What I regret about Jazz's death is that the overall portrayal of the character in the movie was pretty crappy and he never had a chance to thrive.

I woundn't mind if the next movie tries to do him some justice in flashbacks or something.

Yes but, even as a child untill I saw the movie I didn't think the Autobots could die. And there was never really much threat of the main characters suddenly and shockingly being lost in the G1 toon, and if they were you knew they'd be back. The movie trying to create a more serious all ages atmosphere, nedds to have Decepticons who are a credible threat. If Jazz hadn't fallen then Megatron and the rest of the Deceps would look like a bunch of losers.

Prime also waited a good half a season+ before he came back to.

And for that reason, the death of an Optimus has basically become meaningless in TF lore. They even poked fun at this in Beast Wars when Megatron once said, "You Optimuses do love to sacrifice yourselves, don't you?"
