    This just brings nostalgia because Jazz was my first G1 transformers toy, unfortunately, I lost him but I remember bringing him almost everywhere. Thank you for showing one of the best autobots

    Jazz was one of a handful of season 1 Autobots that survived the deception purge that occurred during the 1986 The Transformers: The Movie. So many autobot heroes went too soon during that movie, including Optimus Prime.........but, in the end, Unicron was crushed, the Cybertronian wars came to an end, and Rodimus Prime was now the new Autobot leader, entering into season 3.

    Jazz was one of my favorite Autobot. Mainly for his overall personality and appearance. I never found figures that small to drive the Autobots. I always loved the Autobots car modes at times more than robot modes. The size comparisons were a nice touch for this review.

  • @OGMacGee

    I remember having this toy as a kid. Maybe the reissue is different, but the rocket launcher pegs are supposed to plug into the open space on his back and has just enough room to clear the shoulder beside his head.

  • @brianbuchmeier

    Jazz was always my favorite character on the show, but I never had any Transformer figures growing up (just Go Bots). I recently decided to start collecting other lines besides GI Joe, so I plan on finally getting one some time in the near future. Thanks for the transformation tips.

    I got Jazz through a mail order with cereal box tops or something. He came in the mail, in a small plain brown box and his stickers were different. I bet he would be worth something if I didn’t give him away.

    Another great review! Jazz was my first Transformer I received Christmas Eve way back then in '84. Got Skywarp the next day. Anytime I think of Martini Porsche I think of Jazz since he is what brought those cars to my attention of being existant in the 1st place. Seems all the original (USA) Transformers had wimpy missile launchers whereas the knockoffs had much more powerful ones that actually shot some distance. I took Jazz to school and a kid broke the windshield part you talked about in the review.
    The early Transformers had full color instructions and just seemed better with more die cast and chrome parts then the later ones that were all plastic. Although we used to make jokes about "Transformer chrome" which was prone to tarnishing/wearing off. Prime's chrome legs and smoke stacks turned blue for example.
    Grimlock and Megatron are the only two I remember who didn't have the cheap chrome that wore off easily. There may be more but I don't remember. It's been 35 years now, hahaha

    The Martini logo most likely wasn't used because it's the logo for Martini & Rossi distillery in Italy. Jazz was my 2nd favorite Autobot, after Hound, and before Smoke Screen. I had a specially affinity for him due to him being a slant nose 911/930, just watching this review brings me back, I remember daydreaming about one of those 930's while starring at a poster of one up on my wall in my room. Thanks for the review, NERDMASTE'!!

    If I ever had one as a (nerdy) kid in the 80s, I would’ve been extra careful with it. I also would’ve read the instructions and transform it until I can memorize it without the instructions. Same thing goes with other 80s transformers toys.

    The first G1 car I bought was Jazz. But I had to rebuy him in 1986 because the original toy broke. However, I took off the doors from the broken toy and placed it on the 1986 toy. That's because the 1984 doors were different from the 1986 door.s
