Optibotimus Reviews: Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class AUTOBOT JAZZ

[@stevenboardman7919]

Damn Optibotimus you were the first reviewer who I actually remembered by name and actually subscribed to way back when and you have consistently been releasing quality content for what seems like ages. I hope your not planning on changing that any time soon. Good health to you and yours bro and keep up the good work, peace 1.

[@optibotimus]

Love that comment and support! As long as you and others keep watching, i'll keep on doing what i do. Thank you so much for the compliment and best wishes to you!

[@kerrywien6775]

jazz is actually quite strong, I mean he used to be the second in command of the autobots before he got ripped in half by the son of a glitch megatron, jazz is just too small and weak if you compared him to bigger/stronger bots like megatron and sentinel prime, and jazz was able to killed both blackout and starscream (a coward) in the transformers 2007 video game and because in wikia says that jazz is blackout’s mortal enemy and jazz killed blackout, so size doesn’t matter, I mean cogman was able to harm crosshairs’ fingers, even though cogman is just a bot of a size of a human.

[@godzillaprimekingkaiju2193]

[@GbroRamedia]

"He's used to getting pulled apart." Too soon man. Lol.

No, it's been 11 years.

[@tracytron7162]

SoulShiloh ..... that’s exactly what I said....

[@austinhinton3944]

I get that Jazz was a small character, but I think they should have ditched the standardized size classes for SS and had Jazz priced at $15 or so instead of $20. Because good gosh that is a tiny figure for such a price!

[@periclod1877]

Austin Hinton but they did give him more paint than the rest of the line combined

[@austinhinton3944]

Peri clod still, for such a small figure that's quite a hefty price.

[@ReverseZoom25thCentury]

It's even worse in Germany. All of the new deluxe class toys cost 35 bucks!! The voyagers cost 52 and the leaders 79!!

[@austinhinton3944]

Reverse Zoom Yikes!

[@theoneandonlyjazztheautobo8597]

Austin Hinton sure it’s freaking 20$ cause it’s a studio series they added all extra details and it’s painted silver not like the other two they’re a little bit gray and it should 20$ cause it’s a studio series not the worst transformers toy line and there Mold are shitty

[@JasonSawyer]

I sort of wish they'd keep doing this "different sizes in each size class" thing going. It adds more diversity and character to a shelf.

[@matrixym997]

Jazz: You want a piece of me?!?

[@spideyfan244]

I like the Jazz quite a bit more than I originally thought I would. Nice vehicle mode, looks very accurate to the movie and car in real life. A few panel gaps but I can look past that. The weapon storage is ok I mean, how else would you store that shield gun thing. Transformation is pretty fun and enjoying. Robot mode looks great. Very accurate to his appearance in the movie. Has great articulation. Scales great with the other figures from the line. A bit small but it’s accurate to the scale in the movie. Not much of a backpack so it won’t take up much room on a shelf. The weapon looks great when you attach the weapon to his arm or have him hold it. It’s a solid figure, very nice piece.

[@Charsiupao]

He looks really good, especially as we never really got a good Deluxe movie Jazz - there was the Human Alliance, but that was too big. A shame that he's so small compared to the old Deluxe Bumblebee, though, as it means you probably have to buy the whole new Studio series to put them all together to make a nice team shot. Either that, or ignore scale, which is something that Transformers toys collectors have learned to overlook over the years, I guess....

[@kerrywien6775]

[@tripeb9797]

8:22 that laughter though

[@revvingnoodle7192]

Had looked at your vids ever since the beginning back in 07, with these studio series is a big throwback to those years, damn those were good times for transformers toys

[@Thunder-rg7zj]

For me it says there is no sound in this video

[@connordechart752]

Can it break in two?

[@jaydentemwolf1328]

Only once, unless you buy more

[@h.h.quincy8851]

JaydenTemWolf lol

[@LockIsGaming]

You need Megatron for that feature

[@diamondluigi0442]

No... Jazz is my favorite character and seeing him get ripped is sad. But that's funny how you can rip him once and never again

[@jazztheautobot7257]

DiamondLuigi04 hey had not seen you for long time!

[@elrioter4191]

SS Barricade, Bonecrusher and Ironhide are figs I'd like to see in the future

[@KarachoBolzen]

Cloth Hanger I think there's an ss barricade already

[@elrioter4191]

clonetrp _̂͌̅ There isn't one yet at this point...

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

Ironhide is wave 3 and Bonecrusher is wave 4 or 5.

[@Mickeydicky]

bonecrusher is coming, not sure about barricade or ironhide but they are available in masterpiece form (ironhide will release soon)

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

The original leak (100% correct) has ironhide as wave 3 and ROTF Starscream as wave 4. Bonecrusher and the second optimus prime are likely wave 5.

[@GorrWhore]

If you see this, thank you for doing this, i know you kind of wanted to do the voyagers! You are an awesome reviewer and I look forward to the next one.

[@nando5388]

Optibotimus to make the doors more flush there is a trick to it, there is a little blue peg on the bottom of the canopy “backpack” that tabs into jazzes little hole on the back of his croch piece I find that this dose help it sit more flush

[@nando5388]

But overall great vid man keep up the great work

[@strykerp28]

I don't want one I want TWO

[@SoftEndy]

I have the original Jazz movie figure (battle damaged) but always wanted the Human Alliance one. One time I saw it for $15 at a Ross. Can't believe I never got it. This figure looks grear though. I might get him.

[@gibbie80s61]

I had problems getting mine lined up too, but I found the peg in the roof had not gone in properly. After making sure it was all the way in it lined up a lot better.

[@aussieguy6908]

Duncan Gibb I discovered that as well. Now he’s in perfect form.

[@Infinite85563]

Can you split him in two like in the movie?

[@gamingdemon1791]

Infinite1985 no you cant

[@commanderjamaa588]

Infinite1985 yeah but you could only do it once

[@cindi9935]

[@peterpupovac6562]

Commander Jamaa dammit stole my joke 😂😂😂

[@dtay8913]

Infinite1985 too soon

[@DarinBransan420]

Quick correction, the Pontiac solstice in the movie was still a convertible. There has never been a true hard top model, but there are variations of the car that are still convertible; but instead of the soft cloth top, there is a removable hard top that they had added in as a customization option when special ordering the car.

[@Hazardous_Content]

I'm loving this studio series line. It gives you a chance to pick up a figure that wasn't really done right the first time.

[@imsentinelprime9279]

Plus the front of the car becomes his chest.

[@Bowcaster26]

I'm sure you're aware of this by now but the legs have an additional peg on the back that Peg into the roof. Make sure that's clicked in and everything else will slot together perfectly

[@MrGameAndToy]

I like the size for 2 reasons: 1.) Jazz was really tiny in the first movie compared to most of the other bots (he was pretty close to Bee but still shorter) 2.) It means they can spend less of the budget on plastic and more of the budget on that GORGEOUS silver paint.

[@theshadowblader8461]

In the first movie i loved jazz he was so cool

[@Carcharodon]

Daniel Ramos yeah

[@kerrywien6775]

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

“Finally, we have a figure with Jazz that has the proper chest look” I guess Optibotimus forgot about the human alliance Jazz, which also had the rotating front grill section for the proper chest look.

[@roleeprime217]

The problem is that we've been very limited to Jazz toys. So seeing him coming back warms up my whole heart! To be honest I think the studio series is the best of him there is.

[@ashtonyee6065]

You can tab the roof of the car into the hip, making the panels in alt mode much better.

[@tevinhoward4419]

As a great comrade when split half by Megatron although his spark exposed but faded.

[@metaluzaki1534]

A Target listing showed that we are infact, getting our boi Ironhide in the voyager size. Oh, and a voyager Bonecrusher too!

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

They did make a Solstice with a hard top. It looked slightly different than the Jazz model with more of a fastback shape to the rear glass. Anyway, great review as always. I’m actually digging this figure a lot more than I would have guessed.

[@pittbulldawg93]

Fun fact: the Pontiac solstice came in two forms a full convertible and a "targa" top(witch is removable hard top)

[@trompimusprime4510]

‘It will peg into the roof for robot mode.’ HIS HOOD!!!!!!!

[@cadsux]

Regarding the size, these days stuff costs more, but you get less than before. I had a "value menu" bacon cheeseburger from Burger King. It was the size of a slider, and the bacon piece was the size of the 1 pickle slice.

[@osamabinladen2868]

Optibotimus has been putting out content since I was 7. I am now 20 😱

[@tealfruitstudios1620]

Wow, they watched the movie like a lot. I'm surprised no one noticed how close the transformation is to the movie

[@xaviermccullough3905]

Maybe the problem of the friction is that your not tapping the hood to his waist properly, make sure it's tapped in, or it will knock the line up in whack

[@stefaniecutrell1022]

Is it just me or did no one else have sound?

[@spicycaco2061]

I saw some guy mention that they should've had a scout class line for characters like this, if they do Arcee etc then they'll probably be this size too so at least as scout the price is a little more justified

[@Matt-cn2nn]

James Hadaway Thing is, if priced as a Scout Class I'm not sure he'd be so covered in silver paint.

[@commanderjamaa588]

Jazz: "do you want a piece of me" Megatron: "no, I want two"

[@uainjansun]

Pretty accurate? Masterpiece: am i not that accurate for you

[@BLAZE084]

Looks more accurate than any other versions of the bayformer Jazz I've seen in robot mode.

[@judaiyugo5283]

"He does have a backpack" Reminds me of my masterpiece Hot Rod lmao.

[@brickclub6256]

THE KING IS BACK EVERYBODY!!!

[@cheliosXL]

Heh, that alt mode reminds me of a DeLorean when the gun shield thingy is attached to it.

[@dephranque9883]

This jazz looks like they scaled down the human alliance version

[@copopopocoporododoro]

I still prefer Human Alliance Jazz personally, but this is a lot better than the 2007 deluxe. Good job Optibotimus.

[@tevinhoward4419]

"This is like a cool place to kick it".

[@theg1prime71]

Optibotimus the thing that you missed on Jazz on his transformation to his vehicle for is that it has a powst under his roof and he has a hole in his but,, if you managed everything right you will be able to get all the panels right.

[@omegaus817]

I will get that Jazz toy thanks for the video.

[@punchline1279]

Jazz was my favorite character from the movie and i am so glad he got a better figure

[@Jazzys.Prime.Chilling.Time127]

I love this studio series deluxe class figure. I want this jazz and others from this line

[@geeboysgamesandmore49]

I had the same problem lining up the panels but I figured out what it was. There’s a small peg under the roof of the car that pegs into his waist area in vehicle mode. It’s hard to get in properly but once you do get it done the vehicle fits together perfectly.

[@DJSmallz732]

And in 2023 you saved my life 😂

[@Redwingbotc]

Just so you know the Human Alliance Jazz also has the front section that pulls out and rotates to be accurate

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I honestly don't think I've been more excited for a toy before. I know he didn't get much screen time, but I loved his character a lot in the Bayformer movie. His character design was great IMO. I had the original toy, and that thing was PHAT. This one looks way better, and the OG toy was a really dark grey

[@aamirfrancisbabia2716]

To solve the friction do is push both sides so the friction will lock well i hope that worked for you

[@instinctmatt4210]

Just got this guy always a transformers I wanted to have because I only started collecting last year

[@MrBrandonStar]

Autobot Jazz

[@zacimusprime4865]

All of these studio series are superior in every way just like they should be it’s beautifully perfect man beautifully perfect😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😊👍🏻!!!

[@Pnefifa69]

Looking back,this line is definitely the most iconic and best overall line for transformers toys

[@theterriblelizard3013]

After so many years we finally get a new movie Jazz figure and it's really good.

[@joshuajohnson3505]

“Well it is Jazz, he’s used to getting ripped apart I suppose” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢

[@theoneandonlyjazztheautobo8597]

Don’t know if you know this when your transforming jazz his back pack has a small tab and in the back of the figure there is a hole the tab plugs in the tab and when your done there will be no gaps

[@gentalrobots3988]

The scale in the studio series is supposed to be completely movie accurate that’s why some characters in the same size class are different sizes like the leader class blackout had a smaller robot mode then the leader class Grimlock because they’re too scale to each other that’s also why ratchet is such a big deluxe by comparison

[@chippzanuff3800]

His weapon's called the Crescent Cannon. Looks good.

[@TheCatLord4557]

Jazz is SOOOO tiny O_O Edit: I'm also very surprised that they actually painted him silver instead of just molding him in grey plastic

[@SiFiGamer2016]

I got this toy from the store a while back. The toy is good, but there are 2 things that threw me off: *1.* It's not secure enough, like the arms to vehicle form. *2.* There's no weapon location in robot mode.

[@bobgilmer]

I will definitely get him to display with the original movie one

[@kysonpoth1311]

Btw there is a blue peg in the middle and a hole so you need to put them together

[@adrianeduardogomezsanchez1538]

The Gaps Look Pretty Nice

[@Charsiupao]

Thanks for a great review. Sadly, although I love that Hasbro are trying to go for scale and uniform for the new toys, they don't scale well with the old toys, and given the choice between starting the whole collection again and accepting that I don't have a nice Jazz to go with the old group, the latter is probably the wiser and cheaper option. As you said, it's a problem that some of us grow up, but damn, it would have been so nice to put this with the others for old times's sake.

[@uainjansun]

You can buy masterpoece jazz its well to sacle with the others

[@ultravangelist5207]

It's basically a human alliance jazz shrunk down

[@warknightxl2167]

I honestly want this Jazz toy.

[@KittycatDaddy]

The Solstice actually could come as an optional hardtop in it's final model year, but there were only a few hundred produced, to my knowledge. Good review! I'm sticking with HA Jazz because this is just too tiny a figure for the price.

[@stoneps]

Beautiful review. Just beautiful. Awesome job!

[@teriyak1]

Noone mentioned how close this is to the human alliance jazz. Compare the car and transformation and you will see

[@cdr2691]

OBJECTION!!!! There actually was a hardtop coupe of the Solstice, I have seen one in person. It was just a very limited run of them before GM axed Pontiac. Still have the picture of it too........ sorry..... maybe it would be cool to know to some.....

[@mingyiliu352]

I prefer picking up studio series camaro 2007 bee, sidesways, tospin and voyager prime

[@_Vegtio_72322]

Honestly jazz was always one of my favorite transformers from the first movie. Sad he got ripped in half though. Can't remember if he was in any of the classic cartoons though

[@TornaitSuperBird]

_ Raven _ He was in G1. He honestly felt much cooler in G1, but I think his representation in the movies made him feel a bit more modern. Also, he used to transform into a Porsche 911...

[@_Vegtio_72322]

Tornait i think a Pontiac suits him more especially with the voice. I can go watch some scenes from g1 on KZbin obviously but either Its I haven't watched it in a long time or I just really never noticed jazz to begin with, which those two are similar but people have they're own preferences. Maybe I'll like the porches 911 version I wouldn't know.

[@kerrywien6775]

jazz is actually quite strong, I mean he used to be the second in command of the autobots before he got ripped in half by the son of a glitch megatron, jazz is just too small and weak if you compared him to bigger/stronger bots like megatron and sentinel prime, and jazz was able to killed both blackout and starscream (a coward) in the transformers 2007 video game and because in wikia says that jazz is blackout’s mortal enemy and jazz killed blackout, so size doesn’t matter, I mean cogman was able to harm crosshairs’ fingers, even though cogman is just a bot of a size of a human.

[@emmsnake]

Great review. I am really looking forward to a masterpiece version that combines the good qualities of this figure with what we saw way back with the Human Alliance figure. I really liked the design for movie Jazz, and would love a figure that slimmed down the backpack just a bit more. I think they can do it. I know it is probably still a ways off, but ill wait for this "ultimate" movie Jazz.

[@DredgeX97]

My question is, why can't the back of the car go on Jazz's back? The tail lights go on his shoulder blades. Great review, sir!

[@brickclub6256]

Edward Thomas Idk,Jazz Design Had his rear section of the ca transformed into his back and his front lights transform into his forearms,Everything else is accurate

[@DredgeX97]

Brick Club Close enough, I guess.

[@Carcharodon]

Who knew a small figure had a complex transformation!!!!

[@FiguringItOutRightNow]

Good review man hope u do more looks back reviews and keep the amazing content up bro

[@AlanIsTrying]

1:33 in the morning good thing im still awake. but good review as always

[@megatron2171]

man i never get the human alliance version, but since the transformation is quite similar, i'll get this guy for sure

[@pawep9396]

Good review as always Paul! Now waiting for Megatron and your opinion about him.

[@OrionLikesThings]

And yet, jazz isn't the tiniest figure we've gotten so far.

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

He's small, but i can't stop transforming him.

[@Drigo924]

Aren’t his headlights supposed to be his forearms?

[@kyosnk40]

Drigo924 Yup you're correct that's definitely a issue.

[@travishook5743]

Drigo924 na mate the original toy didn't have any other choice believe me I have the movie and the original jazz

[@thelonewolf2929]

Travis Hook in the movie his forearms were also his arms bro

[@genericyoutubechannel3790]

Drigo924 the original toy had them in his forearms. They are meant to be on his shoulders.

[@genericyoutubechannel3790]

Nvm

[@MisaelCastilloBrenes]

It looks pretty good. I agree that seems too small for the price, and a bit expensive to recreate the famous dialogue with Megatron "- you want a part from me? -I want two!!!" :-( :-D

[@rolsko1924]

There wasn’t a jazz at the Walmart I went to and bought bumblebee, if they had jazz I would of bought that straight away

[@jazzhandy9479]

I think this is mostly a shrunken down and slightly modified human alliance jazz

[@vinceamaro1382]

a lot of people are complaining about the tabbing issues that leaves the gap in the doors and the rear section it is their fault why because they don't peg the butt inside the roof so they knock outta whack for unfortunate reasons

[@jr.a8301]

i picked jazz up today. not bad for $20..my only complaint is the side door panels would pop out when transforming into vehicle mode,just like you showed. not a bad figure,though. edit: war for cybertron siege line prowl and red alert coming this year.

[@vergames4139]

This may sound weird but Jazz's Chest looks like a sad Manatee too me xD

[@vazifa3181]

Aww dude I miss this character in TF

[@carn9507]

Strange yours has gaps in vehicle. Mine doesn't. Had it for nearly a couple weeks and transformed many times without issue (kinda surprised the hand came off on yours so easily. not happened on mine). Bloody love this lil shiny dude. I did paint a couple more silver details like those either side of his collar (to simulate the parts the HA figure had), and the strips on his hip/thigh ball jointy areas. Paid £30 for which was a lil high (since I didn't know he and Lockdown who i also bought with him for another £30 were out in stores in UK that following week... although nowhere near me) and I don't regret paying extra at all. I've had so much fun with this toy and Studio Series in general. Got Megatron a few days ago and love that too. Megatron's lacking the silver paint the toy was shown with in early photos (though still awesome looking) but Jazz has got it so I think it's a budget thing. Jazz gets the silver paint to make up for that he's small, and Megatron lost it cos he's so big. :)

[@victorsandoval4792]

A lot of this figure’s aesthetic and engineering comes from the human alliance version. And his robot form is not exactly what we saw on screen. I love the form of this new one, (skinny, not fat) but it’s still good.
