Ganon578's review: Jazz (legends)

Name: Autobot Jazz
Function: Saboteur
Allegiance: Autobot

“Do it with style or don't bother doing it."

If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing with style, thinks Autobot Jazz. The coolest of the Autobots, he rolls into battle against the Decepticons with slick moves and a banging sound system. There’s no limit to his courage, and nothing he won’t do in defense of Earth and the AllSpark. Drawing his blade, he prepares to bring the fight up close and personal with Megatron and his evil metal soldiers.

I originally wasn’t going to get any of the other movie figures other than Bumblebee and Barricade, then I came across this little guy, and I thought he looked pretty sweet. Matter of fact, he’s awesome for a Legends figure, and I don’t regret for a second the purchase I made.

Alternate Mode: Jazz has a cool alternate mode. He transforms into a miniature silver Pontiac Solstice, and for a small figure, it comes off pretty well. I only have two gripes about this mode, one being the cheap tires they slapped on him, and the other being the grill of Jazz’s chest is now the top of the car in this mode. The small wheels in this mode don’t do any justice to the cool look of the Solstice in the movie, but I guess it works for a Legends Transformer. He does have a really nice paint job for being such a small figure. The silver has a nice metallic sheen to it, and there are some small touches of contrast paint to add to the flavor. You’ll find red in the back for the taillights, yellow for the fog lights in front, and also you’ll find some black added in for the grill. The small spoiler in the back is also a nice touch. This mode is overall pretty good for a small guy.

Robot Mode: Robot mode is where this figure really picks up some bonus points. His robot mode is great especially for a Legends size figure. He doesn’t have great articulation, but that’s to be expected. His hip joints swivel and move on ball joints, and his arms move up and down. You can move his torso a bit up and down too. This mode really shows off his boxy upper body just like in the movie, and the paint job also has little surprises that add to the value. The silver still pops here, and there is also some black parts that add contrast, a small black Autobot symbol in his lower body, his visor is blue (which adds to his coolness), and he’s also got some metallic gold accents that really spruce up this figure. There is really good detail in the grill that covers his chest (the top of the car in alternate mode), even with a small Pontiac symbol that is red. He doesn’t do much besides stand there, but that all that is needed since he looks really good in this mode.

Transformation: 2. Simple.
Durability: 8. Really sturdy for a Legends class figure, I don’t see anything breaking on him anytime soon.
Fun: 7. You can’t do much with him, but he looks really good in both modes.
Price: 9. I got mine for $4 US. You don’t get much better deals.
Overall: 8. He’s a really great addition to any collection, especially at a low price in retail.
