 - Jazz is 7 layers of awesome!Jazz, the unsung hero of the Autobots, is just as cool in toy form as he is in the movie. And his selection of vehicle to change into is top notch. So get his action figure and partake in his awesomeness ;-) Rating: - A 6 1/2 year old's reviewI like Jazz a lot. He is very easy to transform and sturdy, and he looks very sleak in car mode. But the bad thing is that the gun does not come with a missle. The good thing is that the gun can come out farther and look like a sword. This transformer makes you a little bit bored because it is too easy to transform. Another good thing about it is that no important pieces break and the spring in the chest doesn't bother me. But sometimes part of arms fall off (the part that is attached to the hands). Also, sometime the back of the car in car mode doesn't go all the way down because the legs push it back up. Kids could buy this one. It's pretty good. It's my favorite movie transformer that I own so far, but not as good as the Generation 1 transformers. Rating:  - Better than people had saidJazz. He has flimsy arms. Thats about all of the negatives i can say. He's a simple transform, of all of the figures i'd say he's easily the most kid friendly. sure the shield part is of cheese. But i like him. oh so the other problem is he's a low rider. He's difficult to push across the ground. So have fun! of all of the figures, he was the only one that never broke a part off. Rating: - jazz gets ripped apart in the moviefortunately, the toy is strong enough not to. I noticed that, due to the fact thtat they couldn't make a transformer "transform" like the movie, they meshed the new with the old, therefore, jazz has wheels on his shoulders in the toy. The movie version does not. I would not recomend this toy for transformers nuts, who are overly into accuracy, as this toy hardly is. He looks freakin awesom, though, and the simple design of his legs means that you can do a cool "midtransformation pose". The arms, due to the accuracy needed for the car mode, are a bit difficult to transform, even on the thousandth time. The head still looks cool, though. He has a wide range of shoulder motion, however his albows are a little limited. the end within 30 of a right angle the knees too are limited, due to the overhang from the legs. the sheild also is a little ridiculus. All in all, this toy is for playing with, not for some nimrod to hang in plastic wrap for 70 years. The sword allows for cool charging possess, but forget the words "quick change" this thing still takes me a few minutes. Rating:  - Best toy I've bought in yearsIt took me a couple of times of closely following the 13-step instruction manual to transform this from the car to the robot and back. Now that I've played with it a few times I can transform it back and forth without the instructions. I'm amazed at how durable the parts are, because they require muscle to snap apart and back into place. Weaker toys would break under that kind of pressure. Jazz can take it again and again and again. I can't speak for any of the other Transformers toys, but this Jazz one is amazing. On a four-point scale of difficulty, Hasbro rated this one a 3. It's fairly complex without being impossible. Whatever engineer designed this thing has my respect. Every part is utilized, and it all makes perfect sense. This kind of action figure toy is much more entertaining than the ones that don't actually do anything. Figuring out how it transforms offers an experience almost like the Rubix cube. This is my first time to see the Pontiac Soltice in any form and Jazz is a pretty cool-looking car, sort of like a Dodge Viper. When Jazz goes into robot form, he looks terrific. The way the light shines through the back of his head into his cold blue visor is awesome. Much cooler than the toys I remember playing with back in the 1980's. I'm pretty sure a 5-year old would need a parents' help getting this toy to transform. Maybe a simpler Transformer of level 1 or 2 would be more appropriate.
