In Animated Upgrade Pack #10, well... they fixed it. http://reprolabels.com/Animated/upgradea10.asp AS you can see, this pack also has stickers for neck details on Jazz, as well as a good few other stickers included for Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Prime. http://reprolabels.com/Animated/Upgrades/Mapa10_1.jpg http://reprolabels.com/Animated/Upgrades/Mapa10_2.jpg The way Hasbro botches up and or omits paint apps, it's good knowing there's fans consistently picking up the slack. I guess it doesn't need to be said the Animated line alone has many a show-only app that needs fixing. http://reprolabels.com/Animated/ I used to be more of a purist... but these days, not so much. It blows you need to shell out AFTER buying the initial figure, but... well, how else are you going to get a faithful representation of a character without waiting 25 years for a "masterpiece" or "collector" version to be produced? : / (And even then...)

I like him, but the only thing i wish were done differently was maybe some kind of locking mechanism to keep the chest down in robot mode. Ironically, I just got Jazz as well.

]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:39:18 -0400 godmagnus1 http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2807%2523comment-3782 That was my exact thought http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2807%2523comment-3780 That was my exact thought too when I saw the toy's placement of the <i>nunchaku</i>. So, I went back and carefully watched Jazz's debut in "Elite Guard". And, to my surprise, they <i>did indeed</i> come from his elbows! Reason I say this is the ejection mechanism(s) in the series are squarish gray blocks- just like the ones on the toy- rather than being rounded white covers from his knees. Now it may seem confusing because it makes more sense to deploy them from his knees, but they truly do come from his elbows. The other thing you need to realize is that a little bit of TV magic was used to hide those weapons in there, so that's also why it was easy to miss, and why it looks so odd on the toy. Thanks for bringing that up, because I'm sure others are/were confused about it, and I never thought to mention it since I thought that I was the only one who had made that mistake. <b>. . .</b> Oh, and BTW, godmagnus1, that signature line of yours is absolutely <i>fantastic</i>!

I didn't want to mention it in the review-proper, but for some strange reason, Jazz's torso and how it transforms reminds me vaguely of how movie <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2329"><b><i>Deluxe-class</i> Concept Camaro Bumblebee</b></a>'s torso moves around and looks in the end. I don't know why- maybe it's how the shoulder joints inside tilt diagonally rather than being just straight; but the long panel behind his head, and the windshield on his back are undeniable...! ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff Oh, that reminds me...
