Does Jazz have a nemesis?

[Raptormesh]

Razorclaw, from his SL issue is the best I can think of.

Hi Cat, what does SL stand for?

Hi Cat, what does SL stand for?

Spotlight. Took me a while to figure it out.

Thanks Gok. Wonder if there'll ever be a Masterpiece Jazz.

Actually, does anyone know where I can get that spotlight: Jazz comic?

It's kinda interesting to look at the 'Arch Nemesis' thing. Not many of the G1 characters, considering the hundreds that there are, actually have them. From what I can think of:


Optimus vs Megatron (Comic & Cartoon)
Rodimus vs Galvatron (Cartoon)
Ultra Magnus vs Cyclonus (Cartoon)
Ultra Magnus vs Galvatron (Comic)
Blaster vs Soundwave (Cartoon & Comic)
Grimlock vs Shockwave (Comic & FOC)
Metroplex vs Trypticon (Cartoon)
Fort Max vs Scorponok (Cartoon)
Omega Supreme vs Devestator (Cartoon)
Sky Lynx vs Predaking (Cartoon)
Aerialbots vs Stunticons (Cartoon)
Protectobots vs Combaticons (Cartoon)
Technobots vs Terrorcons (Cartoon)
Primus vs Unicron (Comic)

So out of 'big name characters' Starscream, Jazz & Prowl seem a bit left out. Ironhide too I guess.

I suppose Starscream is against everybody in a way

I can't remember Sky Lynx ever fighting Predaking. My memory of season 3 is pretty lacking though as I've barely rewatched it in the last 15 years, but it's had a few mentions. Guess I just forgot about it?

Grimlock vs Scorponok is a bit of a thing these days in the comics.
Same with Omega Supreme and Monstructor.
Bumblebee vs Ravage was pretty common in the early fiction too right? (by which I mean storybooks and colouring books too)

Amd a few more if you include Headmasters, Masterforce & Victory cartoons

SL = Spotlight, sorry. Crap story, but it's the best I can think of. Although I do like the idea of Jazz and Razorclaw as primary nemesis of each other. It works quite well, IMO.

I also remember from DW, at the start of the second miniseries, during the initial fight scene in the cold opening, there was symbolism behind the match-ups, and between who was fighting who.

I'll have to check if Jazz was even there, and if so, who he was up against.

EDIT: He was present, but we don't see him until after the other Cybertronians arrive, so we don't know who he was up against. We see Megatron and the 3 main Seekers paired with their Autobot counterpart, so we can count them out, for that theory.

Interestingly enough, and directly answering Trev's statement in a way, paired off against the Seekers are Ironhide vs Skywarp, Prowl vs Starscream, and Mirage vs Thundercracker.
