I can understand some people being unhappy with Wheeljack's design shift (although it's no better/worse than how he looked in Dark of the Moon), but given that Jazz has never been a Porsche in the movieverse, I see now issue with Mirage being one.

If we're going by the logic that the Porsche should be Jazz just because of G1, then...
* The black police car should've been Stakeout, not Barricade
* The yellow Autobot sports car should've been Sunstreaker, not Bumblebee
* The black ute should've been Trailbreaker, not Ironhide
* The fire emergency vehicle should've been Red Alert, not Ratchet
* The red fire engine should've been Inferno, not Sentinel Prime
* The F22 Raptor should've been Fearswoop, not Starscream
* The military helicopter should've been Vortex, not Blackout
* The stereo CD player should've been Blaster, not Frenzy
* The Corvette should've been Tracks, not Sideswipe
* The Autobot hatchback should've been Skids, not... no, wait, that one's actually okay. Maybe without the offensive stereotype.
...etc.

Given that the live action movie series is now 16 years, I think that the ship has truly sailed on this issue. Movieverse =/= G1, just let them be what they be.
Yeah maybe, but I like Jazz, he was my favourite when I was a kid, and I think his portrayal in the 2007 flick was pretty crap to say the least. Seeing as this was (supposed to be) a prequel to that, with the prequels seeming to follow a more G1 theme robot and vehicle mode look (Bumblebee originally being a VW etc) it would have been nice from a personal point of view to see Jazz again (just like we see Wheeljack and Arcee in this one again) this time as a Porsche, doing cool Jazz Porsche things, but that didn’t eventuate, they gave the spotlight to Mirage this time and that’s fine, like I said I enjoyed his character portrayal. The 5 year old transformer loving kid inside me is allowed to have wanted it to be Jazz, just like you and whoever else is allowed to feel otherwise. In the end, we enjoy Transformers, and that’s cool😎
