Jazz (G1)

2006-07-30T23:20:46Z

24.224.184.234: /* =Unreleased */ removed equals sign

''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity. He is also known as '''Meister'''.''

[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Eat floor, dig?]]

'''Jazz''' is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s right-hand man. Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime's military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation. Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal. His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, and he still has time to add some style into everything he does.

An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture. More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo. Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost reality television show and each week's Top 40 list.

Jazz's personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]]. In fact, there is not one Autobot who ''doesn't'' like or admire Jazz.

Jazz transforms into a Martini Porsche 935 Turbo, complete with a sound system that can distrupt any Transformer's relays to dazzle and disrupt, making for an ideal distraction or debilitating move. In robot mode he is armed with a rifle and a shoulder mounted flamethrower.

''Preliminary name:'' '''Jazzz'''<br>
''Japanese name: '''Meister'''<br>

''Italian name: '''Tigre'''

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 Cartoon===
''Voice Actor:'' [[Scatman Crothers]], ''[[Wally Burr]]'' (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)

Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines. This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.

Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake. In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.

===Marvel Generation 1 Comic===

===Marvel Generation 2 Comic===

===Dreamwave Generation 1 Comic===
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]' [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots. Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock. When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.

Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl's decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons. Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed. Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon. He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave's army to retreat.

7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots. He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational. Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.

Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[Fallen (G1)|The Fallen]]. Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and achived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.

Jazz was among the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons. After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons. However, the ''[[Ark II]]'', which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].

A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]]. He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus' latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus' base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly 'metal virus'. Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them. The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside. Jazz remaoned behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]]. Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army. But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it. Jazz mourned over Wheeljack's fallen form.

Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace. While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave's lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots. After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.

===IDW Generation 1 Comic===

Jazz is part of a detachment of Autobots that has operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, attempting to foil a Decepticon insurgency. So far, Jazz has only appeared once in ''Inflitration'' (in the foreground of a two-page spread). His role within the Autobot detachment has not been revealed as of yet.

Rollbar (G1)

2006-07-30T22:41:28Z

{{disambig3|Rollbar}}

''Rollbar is an [[Autobot]] from [[Generation 1]] continuity.''

[[Image:rollbar_g1_boxart.jpg|right|thumb|250px|GIANT FEET!]]

'''Rollbar''' always gives 110%. He's neither very strong nor very fast, but he's got heart, and a vast arsenal of corny, macho cliches to pepper his speech. Though the other [[Throttlebot]]s are inclined to roll their optical sensors when he starts laying the Cybertronian bullslag on too thickly, his gung-ho attitude has earned the respect of them all, and when the higher-ranking veteran [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]] is not around, Rollbar is the acting leader of his very democratic team.

Rollbar makes good use of his low power in vehicle mode. He is a rubber-tired acrobat, able to jump like a cybergoat and run like a turbodeer. This is fortunate; he has little or no firepower, and if caught out has little choice but to run away. He does have radiation and chemical sensors to assist his tracking missions, and audio-video equipment to record his findings, or perhaps the big game.

Rollbar may not have what it takes to make the big plays, but he's still an opponent to be reckoned with. You have to give him that much credit.

Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)

2006-07-20T23:08:50Z

24.224.184.234: /* ''Galaxy Force'' */ Capitalization

[[Image:Cybertron-Logo.jpg|center]]
'''''Cybertron''''' is the third and final Transformers franchise in the [[Unicron Trilogy]].

The ''Cybertron'' franchise featured the following primary components:
*[[Cybertron (toyline)|A toyline]]
*[[Cybertron (cartoon)|A cartoon series]]

A comic book series was initially planned for ''Cybertron'', but its intended publisher, [[Dreamwave]], went out of business before the line began. The [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors Club|Transformers fan club]] newsletter includes a short comic story in each issue which is branded with the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] name. This comic, while featuring UT characters, also stars various characters from other timelines, and is loosely tied to [[3H]]'s [[Universe (comic)|''Universe'']] series.

==''Galaxy Force''==
''Galaxy Force'', the Japanese version of ''Cybertron'', is somewhat different to its English counterpart.

While the general plot, and storylines remain very much the same (with the exception of the usual differences in character names.)

The singular difference between ''Cybertron'' and ''Galaxy Force'' is that Galaxy Force has no ties to any of the previous Transformers series in terms of story, in that there is no link between the characters from Galaxy Force and the previous series ''Superlink'' (the Japanese title for ''Transformers Energon'') in any fashion.

For example, the black hole (or Grand Black Hole in Japan) was not created by the destruction of Unicron, but was an event that occured due to the problems caused by the loss of the Force Chips (planet keys) that acted as the spark of Primus.
