    Definitely this. There were attempts to do a Binaltech Porsche Jazz back in the day but then he became a Mazda, so it's not as if HasTak haven't tried. They've obtained licensing from the likes of Lamborghini and even Volkswagen in recent years.

    And because this always comes up, no, VW and Porsche being under the same parent company doesn't matter.

    In terms of sculpt, the resemblance to the cartoon model is excellent. For the price ($35 and even less on sale), Jazz is pretty much perfect. For deco, some solid blue stripes on the rear wheel arches would have been nice. The tight joints make the toy seem very solid and well-made.

    I have a spare SS86 Jazz still in box. Bought the Kingdom Jackpot version. Will probably get the orange G2 Legacy version.

    I am quite keen to get a second one now, I have ordered the Toyhax labels and some Jazz rifles from them. I also am keen to get the crazy orange G2 Legacy version.

    Here are images of Jazz from the Dramatic Capture 3 pack.





    It mostly retains the original SS86 decoes, but also carries over the following decoes from the Autobots Stand United 3 pack:
    + rear wheel hub racing stripes
    + painted kneecaps
    + black spoiler sides
    The Autobot logos are also larger and bordered in silver instead of white.

    I just read SS86 Jazz's TFwiki info. Apparently the 14 is a combination of his G2 and G1 versions and the Diaclone thing was a happy coincidence. The designer expected people would customize Jazz and remove the number they didn't want. I'm left wondering, if you're creating a figure in a line that is meant to be screen accurate why would you even consider adding something not screen accurate???
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    This one was discussed in a showcase event a few days ago. Evan Brooks said that Jazz got that 14 because of a request to change the number to avoid having to secure a licence for the car - as it is, the toy is skirting the edges of what would be legally permissible to make without having to secure a licence. Look at Studio Series Jazz and then look at the #4 Porsche 935 Turbo that won the Six Hours of Mugello race in 1976 and you'll see that the toy is pretty close. Brooks found that #14 was the catalogue number for Jazz back in the day, and it was also a Takara product number.
