'''Jazz''' is a particularly enthusiastic Autobot warrior, and hates that [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] has to be a killjoy all the time, what with their leader insisting on "restraint" all the time, when he just wants to get out there and fight [[Decepticon]]s. In his downtime, Jazz enjoys chilling with his crew at the [[Kreon]] bloxing clubs and watching demolition derbies. He also likes listening to his favorite tune, "Nothin' But A Bot Thing".

Cartoons
Jazz was in the audience of a tag battle pitting [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]] against [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Last Bot Standing}} He was in the audience of a dance competition too. {{storylink|Bot Stars}}

* '''Jazz''' with Jazz and "Race Driver" Kreons (2011, 122 pieces)
: The Kre-O Jazz set is based primarily on ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] in deco, with a head sculpt heavily based on [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] "[[Reveal the Shield]]" Special Ops Jazz's head, but with [[Live-action film series|Movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]'s silver coloration. He transforms into a generic sports car that doesn't really look like either Jazz's alternate mode, with opening doors and a flip-up roof. Sadly, neither of these features is actually useful for inserting a driver (the gap left by opening the roof is too small, and the sides are blocked by unfortunately-placed horizontal bars), but at least the thought was there.

: The included Jazz Kreon is based directly on his ''Generation 1'' self, with his characteristic coloration and deco, and "door wings." He also comes with a generic light gray gun used by some of the other Kreons that can resemble Jazz's [[photon rifle]] if you squint hard enough. The "Race Driver" Kreon wears a red and light gray racing suit and helmet, and also has a light gray baseball cap so he doesn't have to wear his helmet all the time. How thoughtful!

: This set shows signs of having been slightly redesigned late in production. Included among the pieces is a red seat which is not used in either mode; there is an obvious place where it "belongs" in the middle of the car's cabin, but it cannot actually fit there due to other parts interfering. (Interestingly enough, a certain other company's equivalent piece ''will'' fit, thanks to its slightly different design.) Similarly, there is a black sticker with "vent" detailing which the builder is never instructed to apply anywhere, though according to stock photography, it is intended for Jazz's abdomen/pelvis section. Later releases of the set didn't include the seat, but still retained the unused sticker.
