[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

Approximately one month after the events in [[Mission City]], Sector Seven inadvertently reactivated the [[Decepticon]] [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and simultaneously attracted the attention of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and the subsequent battle leveled Sector Seven's [[Nevada]] bunker, costing dozens of lives. [[John Keller (Movie)|Secretary of Defense Keller]] immediately terminated the clandestine group's operations upon learning of the incident.

In the aftermath, Captain Lennox tried to convince his dubious and hostile superiors at the [[Pentagon]] that the Autobots were indeed trustworthy and would be a valuable asset. His superiors impressed upon him that in order for the military to provide full disclosure, the Autobots must cooperate fully, and that the unit was Lennox's responsibility now. After the burial-at-sea of [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Lennox agreed that for the protection of their mutual homeworld, they must trust each other and work together as a single team. Sometime later, the newly formed NEST command commenced training at the military base on [[Diego Garcia]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

NEST had a baptism of fire against the [[Decepticon]] scouts [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came to Earth. This joy was short-lived, however: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:Titan3_NESTedwardsairbase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Where were we in the film? We were... redecorating. Yes.]]

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.

* NEST troopers appeared on Cover B of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' prequel comic "[[Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2]]" , but were nowhere to be seen in the story inside. This is because most of the covers illustrated by ''Revenge'' concept artist [[Josh Nizzi]] were meant to allude to scenes or situations in the actual ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie itself.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''expelled'']] from the island to make way for the joint [[United Kingdom]]/United States military bases. The Autobots are led by Optimus Prime, who believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Err...

* There is a real US Government agency known as NEST. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

:''Reverb is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Reverb''' revels in his ability to fly silently behind enemy lines and take out hidden guards without being heard. As a recon officer, he is teamed up with [[Sergeant Detour]] to direct Autobot attacks on fortified Decepticon strongholds. The two are critical members of [[NEST]]'s Autobots.

==Toys==
===Dark of the Moon===
* '''Sergeant Detour / Reverb''' (Human Alliance Basic, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories'': Missile pod

:Part of the fourth wave of [[Human Alliance]] [[Triple Changer]] toys, Reverb transforms from a robot with handlebars on his head into an asymmetrical red hoverbike with spinning propellers, and with NEST logos on the left side of the front end and on the back-left of the seat. He also possesses a third "gunnery station" mode, consisting of all the propellers facing forward like some kind of giant fan, which can be held by any [[MechTech]] or [[5mm post]]-compatible figure. The small "wings" in his hoverbike mode end up mounted under his left arm and can be used as a bladed weapon in robot mode. He also comes with a two-rocket missile pod accessory, having two [[C joint]] bars to place it onto, with one on the right side of the vehicle mode and one the robot mode's right arm.

:The pegs and peg-holes used to hold the fans in place for Reverb's weapon mode ''look'' like they're 5mm and [[Minicon]]-compatible, but they're slightly too big.

:It should also be noted that the tab behind the seat that holds part of the hoverbike's back together refuses to stay connected, with the tab being slightly too big for the hole, and attempting to peg it in will cause enough pressure to split it back open, causing stress marks to the tab-hole in the process.

:Like all Human Alliance figures, he comes with a "pilot" figure, in this case, it's Sergeant Detour.

==Trivia==
*Reverb's tiny NEST insignias feature the Autobot symbol wearing a beret. That's awesome.

'''Sergeant Detour''' works in conjunction with both [[Reverb (DOTM)|Reverb]] and [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]].

Working with Reverb, they act as both an effective reconnaissance and infiltration team for [[NEST]], capable of silently hovering past critical [[Decepticon]] defenses, crippling them from the inside, and escaping before the alarms even sound.

Working with Leadfoot, they've learned to appreciate the company of [[Steeljaw (DOTM)|Steeljaw]], despite the latter's many flaws. There ''are'' advantages to having an intelligent cyber dog with a powerful bite around, after all.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. A similar mold was used to creature the Lunchables figure for [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

{{anchor|ROTFVoicechanger}}
[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|right|150px|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]
*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus_Prime_Voice_Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

{{-}}{{anchor|Plasmacannon}}
[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|300px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

===Missile Mania Board Game===
*'''Bumblebee''' (2009)

:This [[Burger King]] toy is a representation of Bumblebee's concept Camaro vehicle form; though Bumblebee's four wheels are molded in, he has three extra wheels underneath to provide the ability to roll out. Pressing a button on his roof will play a sound clip of the [[Transformation#The_noise|G1 transformation sound effect]] and a small projectile will be launched from his front grill. The projectile has a sticker showing his robot mode on it. Flicking a switch on Bumblebee's underside will silence the sound chip, so the button will only launch the projectile.

Cyberglyphics

58.69.64.177: /* Notes */ He's been released in a lot of places.

:''Cyberglyphics are a language from the [[Movie continuity|live-action movie continuity]].''
[[Image:Cyberglyphics Prime Symbol.png|thumb|right|200px|Well that's just... [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]!]]
The ancient and all-but-forgotten [[Cybertronian languages |language]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], the symbols known as '''Cyberglyphics''' offer a link to the heritage of the Transformers. Much of the language is poorly understood, relegated to the studies of scholars such as the Cybertronian who would one day be known as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. In archaeological digs on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he slowly began to piece together its rudiments. Many of its symbols are present in the whorls of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]].

Several Transformers (notably [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]) have [[Cyberglyphics]] etched onto their heads, near the cheek area.

The AllSpark was covered in Cyberglyphics, leading [[Sector Seven]] to conclude a connection between the All Spark and Megatron. Additionally, [[Transition form|cometary forms]] are covered in Cybertronian "tribal markings".<ref>[[Ben Procter]]'s [http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/PROJPAGE_Trans_12.html online portfolio]</ref>

When Decepticons communicated in their own native language, Cyberglyphic subtitles are briefly displayed before being replaced with English.

Finally, a shot from Frenzy's POV includes Cyberglyphics.{{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

Much later, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] honored his heritage by carving Cyberglyphics into his exo-structure to mark his quest for vengeance and righteous battle. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie====

After getting a violent jolt by touching a fragment of the seemingly destroyed All Spark, [[Sam Witwicky]] started to have visions of Cyberglyphic symbols, scribbling them in his notebooks, on chalkboards, and eventually all over his room at [[Hamilton Hall]]. This earned him the attention of [[Alice]], who was secretly a [[Decepticon]] spy.

After a Decepticon attack killed Optimus Prime, Sam resolved to figure out what the symbols in his visions meant. However, the [[Autobot]]s identified them as an ancient form of Cybertronian which they could not read. [[Leo Spitz]] led Sam to [[Seymour Simmons]], who showed Sam evidence from his trove of pilfered [[Sector Seven]] files. Through this, Sam learned that his ancestor [[Archibald Witwicky]] drew similar ones after his encounter with the frozen [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

[[Image:ROTF Cyberglyphics field.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Anyone wanna try and translate this? Anyone?]]
Seeking more answers he questioned the captive Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], who was able to identify them as the language of the Primes but was unable to decipher them. He did however reveal that [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]s had an understanding of them, and led Sam and his friends to the decrepit [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] in the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum|Smithsonian Institute]]. The turncoat Seeker was indeed able to translate, and opened a [[space bridge]] to transport the group to [[Egypt]], where the translated prophecy led him to the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

2011-11-15T02:15:28Z

58.69.64.177: /* Toy bios */ Bio states that they have been working long with others and have just met, so that's incorrect.

{{disambig3|Jazz}}
:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz promorender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]
[[second-in-command|First Lieutenant]] '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward, willing to take on any foe, big or small.

{{bigquote|Oh, I got something ''real'' flashy in mind!|Jazz gets ready to create a distraction, [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1 Ratchet Jazz vocalprocessors.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Kup and Ratchet like blaming turbo revvin' young punks.]]
Many years before the civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jazz was a member of the Security Force under [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]. As Optimus pondered the venerable age of the artifacts they had found at an excavation near the temple of [[Simfur]], Jazz jokingly asked if they were as old as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], earning him a threat of [[vocal processor]]-disabling retribution and a whack on the back of the head. He was present when [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s team found a strange artifact with the [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] and helped escort the relic out of the dig site when the aliens whom Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had encountered earlier suddenly attacked the planet. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

In the aftermath, Jazz accompanied Prowl as the latter investigated the attack on the Simfur temple. Prowl theorised that the aliens were trying to break into the temple, not destroy it, Jazz opined that they must have been after the [[AllSpark]]. When Megatron rallied Cybertron's inhabitants to war against the alien attackers, Jazz and most of the others in the science and security division loyally stayed at Optimus's side to uphold the ideals of Cybertron. Later, when Prime mentioned Megatron's questionable behavior and wished there was unity in the population, Jazz pointed out that he had the same chance of convincing Megatron to be unified as they do of being considered part of his army. Realising sentries such as Prowl and Jazz had access to Megatron's personal quarters, Prime asked them for a favour. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Jazz accompanied Optimus and Prowl to Megatron's quarters, where Optimus discovered that the relic previously unearthed seemed to have been restored by Megatron himself. Later, Jazz was part of the team sent to arrest Optimus for treason. However, on the way to Trypticon, the group were ambushed by members of the [[Defense Force]] sent to kill them. Optimus directed the others in a successful counter attack and ordered the group to rally at [[Burthov]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

Jazz and several other former security officers helped [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] "capture" the former military officer [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and bring him into the rebel base to see Optimus '''Prime'''. Later after it was discovered that Megatron was building a [[Nemesis (ROTF)|massive starship]] for some unknown purpose, Jazz was the one who suggested they should have their own ship as well, just in case. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As part of a crowd of Autobots, he later watched from a distance as the Decepticon ship was launched. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} During the subsequent civil war, Jazz fought alongside Optimus Prime in their struggle for freedom, but as the war reached its height, Optimus decided to launch the AllSpark into space to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands and to buy them time. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was successful in diverting the Decepticon leader's attention at [[Tyger Pax]], but was grievously injured as a result. Jazz was part of the team that discovered him in the wreckage after the Decepticons had left. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

As the Autobots prepared to leave Cybertron to go after Megatron and the AllSpark, Optimus Prime expressed concern on if the remaining civilians and Autobots on Cybertron could hold out while they were gone. Jazz informed him that their troops were laying low, but if the Decepticons tried any mischief, they would be in for a nasty surprise. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}
{{-}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Onboard the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1|Ghost 1's]]'' presence, and the first to point out that, despite the Cybertronian elements in its design, it did not originate from Cybertron. He was in favor of blowing it up anyway, as he agreed with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] that there was a chance it could be a Decepticon ruse. After [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was sent to follow the ship down to a nearby planet, Ironhide and Optimus joked that Jazz would have made a poor scout.

When [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] mounted an attack on the ''Ark'', Jazz and Ironhide backed up Optimus. Jazz was unhappy when the plan changed, and the two Autobots were sent back to guard the ship, but they got to expel [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the hangar, and had the damage done repaired by the time Optimus returned. Jazz lost contact with Bumblebee, resulting in Optimus going down to the planet to check. While Optimus was gone, the Decepticons attacked once again, and Jazz came up with a new plan. Jazz kept the Decepticons distracted, while Ironhide attempted to approach the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' through a sensor blind-spot.

Unfortunately the plan was ruined by the return of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and Jazz suffered a large amount of damage. Ironhide got the smaller Autobot back to the ''Ark'', where Jazz was insistent that situation was bad enough that they should leave the area without Optimus and Bumblebee, as Prime has originally ordered. As it turned out, the two missing Autobots returned in time for it to not turn into an issue, and Optimus ordered another engagement. Despite his severe damage, Jazz was able to take out [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and help Ironhide fight Bonecrusher. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Jazz likes "to keep his bodywork ''buff''" by externalizing his [[Spark]] Core forcefield - in the past, that led to him almost being killed when [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] almost tore out his unprotected Spark. He only survived thanks to fellow Autobot [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]], who was killed covering his retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was launched, Jazz, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] attempted to distract Megatron from pursuing it. They ended up attacked by [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and warped across space by a [[foldspace warhead]]. {{storylink|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:JazzTitan06.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!"]]

Jazz ended up on a planet that he dubbed "the Information Highway"—a constantly-morphing world with "the accumulated knowledge of countless alien cultures, condensed into some kind of sensory precipitation". He loved this world and the constant new experiences so much that he deliberately ignored Ratchet's homing beacon, wanting to stay here forever. However, the planet was alive and predatory, and ended up absorbing him into it - he fired off a warning buoy to stop others arriving, and only this led to Ratchet & Ironhide finding where he was and rescuing him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

He doesn't like the war and, as the Information Highway incident shows, has no qualms about deserting if given the opportunity.
{{-}}
{{notetitantlg}}
Because of a lack of troops on [[Earth]], Ratchet used a corrupted fragment of the AllSpark to bring Jazz back to life.<ref name="allsparkjazzbio"> '''AllSpark-Enhanced Autobot Jazz''' bio</ref> Happy to be back, Jazz blew off the suggestion that death had made any impact beyond him wanting to live every day as if it was his last, and he was dispatched with Ratchet to secure a raw energon field.

[[Image:JazzTitan21.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"And my sound effects are inane!"]]

Unfortunately, it turned out the corrupted fragment had indeed led to Jazz himself being corrupted; he paralyzed Ratchet and attempted to exploit Earth's apocalypse by selling the newly energon rich planet to the highest bidder. His auction was interrupted by [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], who rejected an offer to join forces, and attacked. Ratchet revived and managed to destroy the energon field the auction was being held in; Jazz escaped in the resulting confusion. {{storylink|Dark Spark}}

He later kept back as a happy hired gun for [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], out to murder Optimus Prime. He was prevented from this when the ''second'' hired gun, [[Kullt]], turned up; he realised Starscream didn't trust him to be able kill an old comrade and was so insulted he gunned down the other mercenary. He was left rattled when Optimus pointed out he could have let Kullt do the work for him and ''then'' gun him down, which suggested there was still some goodness in him. He drove off in the face of reinforcements, vowing to prove Optimus wrong next time. {{storylink|Hard Target}}

{{note|He wasn't seen again before the alternate universe was wrapped up.}}

[[Image:Movie2007 Jazz dealership.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Why buy? When you can be!]]
Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode.

[[Image:Jazz movie ally.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, the other car's owner only had liability.]]

Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley, Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam they learnt Earth's languages through the internet. He then relayed their mission to find the [[AllSpark]] and explained how his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

[[Image:Movie Jazz Sector Seven.JPG|thumb|left|250px|You'll get them back at the end of class.]]
When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons's]] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the AllSpark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

[[Image:Movie Jazz on Brawl.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"Come on, Decepticon punk!" "MY MISSILE LAUNCHER! That's like a reproductive organ to me!"]]

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz led the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck his left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off. He then sped back to the battle, firing at Devastator, while [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] sliced of Devastator's left arm.

[[Image:Jazz DyingAction.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Wait, why did I tell everyone to retreat again?"]]

Jazz tried to delay [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape Captain Lennox's men and civilians. Despite Lennox's cries for him to fall back, Jazz bravely faced Megatron alone, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the AllSpark to safety, Megatron preyed upon the small Autobot who had the audacity to attack him. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him with the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before attacking Optimus Prime.

[[Image:Movie Prime Jazz Ironhide Ratchet battleaftermath.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"We lost a great comrade today. We'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

After being separated from Sam Witwicky, Ratchet hurried to Jazz, but his [[spark]] had already faded. In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. The Autobot leader somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' Target exclusive comic===
Although nominally supposed to be out hunting [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], Jazz is driving through the desert after a stray energy trace, chasing a hunch. The source of the trace turns out to be [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]], trying to force a gas station attendant to give him all his [[energon]]. When the befuddled human expresses confusion, Space Case flies into a rage and accuses the human of making fun of him. Jazz chooses that moment to intervene, opining that Space Case is making fun of himself by ''trying to rob a gas station''. The two fight briefly, with Space Case now convinced that Jazz is also making fun of him<ref>He is.</ref>, before Space Case gets the upper hand on the much smaller Autobot and pins him to the ground with his trident. Jazz is able to ignite the station's underground gasoline tanks, seemingly destroying his attacker, and speed off safely with the attendant.

His victory is short-lived, however, as Space Case comes howling out of the flames, intent on getting revenge on Jazz. Though Space Case is able to get his hands on him, Jazz deftly counters with a series of acrobatic moves and, when Space Case growls at him to shut up, tells the Decepticon not to "knock his hustle". Distracted by Jazz's non-stop shuckin' and jivin', Space Case fails to notice that Jazz's seemingly stray crescent cannon shots have in fact dangerously weakened the cliff face behind him. The resulting rockslide buries the Decepticon.

Jazz apologizes to the attendant for blowing up his gas station, but the human, showing an attitude lamentably uncommon to humans, thanks the "big guy" for saving his life, calling the station "a lousy job anyway". Jazz, tickled at the idea of being "big guy" to someone, tells the attendant to help someone smaller than him in the future, and they'll be even.{{storylink|Transformers: Jazz}}

Before coming to Earth, Jazz was involved in a deep-space battle over a barren world. He was badly damaged in the conflict and was taken offline by Brawl. After he was fixed up and upgraded his endoskeleton reinforcements, he had a renewed determination to keep his vehicle mode in pristine condition.<ref>'''Premium series''' bio</ref>

In the final battle for the AllSpark, Jazz faced off against Bonecrusher for a last battle to the absolute finish.<ref>'''Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher''' bio,</ref> Also in that battle, Jazz took on Megatron alone, as everyone else was preoccupied with Brawl.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jazz was left badly damaged as a result of those confrontations.

Before going into battle, Jazz often adorns his body with [[Cyberglyphics|ancient Transformer markings]], a custom that he observes in order to make sure he never truly forgets his world of origin. <ref> '''Dark of the Moon Jazz''' bio</ref>

{{note|Jazz's fate in the film is about as unambiguous a depiction of a [[Death|Transformer death]] as one could hope for. [[Michael Bay]], when speaking on the subject, stated emphatically, "Jazz is dead". This puts the weight of [[authorial intent]] on the side of Jazz being truly deceased. Later, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' prequel comic, Optimus Prime asked to have Jazz's remains buried. Despite all this, bio information on his first Target-exclusive [[redeco]] clearly said that he was rebuilt by Ratchet. Make of this what you will. His Allspark power bio says he came back by the power of the AllSpark. This actually happened in an [[Dark Spark|alternate timeline]].}}

His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow Autobots time to escape. Jazz was then surrounded by Sector Seven SUVs and Decepticon drones numerous times, requiring Ironhide's help to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]].

Setting out into the city, he retrieved a number of [[Sector Seven]] vehicles before running into [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]; after a tedious battle, Blackout ran. Returning to the group, Jazz informs that Sector Seven holds Megatron and the AllSpark in the Hoover Dam and has patrols looking for the Autobots, which Bumblebee volunteered to distract them, getting himself caught in the progress. Jazz later upload a virus to access Sector Seven mainframe, and downloaded data from a military hangar. Jazz was able to get the data, despite being outnumbered by remote vehicles, returned to the rendezvous point, which he reported that he was able to find an entrance to the base and Bumblebee, but could not find Megatron and the AllSpark. Jazz tells Optimus that rescuing Bumblebee be their first priority because of Bumblebee's tracking ability, which Optimus agrees. When the Autobots returned to Tranquility with the AllSpark, Jazz required assistance to take out spark drones within the area. Create-A-Bot answered the call and both Autobots took out 50 drones. With the drones destroyed, Jazz stayed where he was in case more show up and told Create-A-Bot to check on Bumblebee. After that, he was not seen again. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
At the [[Hoover Dam]], Jazz set up several automated turrets and Autobot drones around the lower perimeter of the Dam, preventing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from escaping. However, this line of defense only works for so long, as the turrets could only fire at air-borne objects. Finally getting up the side of the Dam, Jazz stepped in Megatron's path, doing little more than trash talking before Megatron jumped into battle. After a roughly equal fight, Jazz finally fell. Megatron then finished him off and desecrated the Autobot's corpse. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===AllSpark Wars===
After the first battle with the Decepticons on Earth, Jazz and the other Autobots went into stasis lock, held in storage around the world. {{storylink|AllSpark Wars}}

===Allspark Highway===
Jazz, Bumblebee, Ironhide and Optimus Prime fought to keep the Allspark out of Decepticon hands. {{storylink|Allspark Highway}}

===Autobot Stronghold===
The Decepticons were invading an Autobot stronghold in the city, and Jazz and the Autobots placed themselves at key positions to defend it from attack. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Jazz'''

:A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends Class|Legends-class]] Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of [[kibble]]: a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]].

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon..."]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three different weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted cannon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

:As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

:This toy was later redecoed into ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]].

[[Image:Movie G1Jazz toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"See? Nineteen-Eighty-Four!"]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't really need to advertise, but he does.

:This figure also features a minor retool of the joint in the forearm. On the initial, mass retail release of Deluxe Jazz, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design. The new version features a shorter joint, which makes it a lot less floppy in robot mode. [[Cyberfly|Cyberflies]] sold separately.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent Cannon", energy-blast missile

:An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

:Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missile launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down). The cannon can actually be rotated on the connecting peg, allowing the gun to be mounted in either configuration on either arm.

:Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

:In addition to the retooled forearm joint also found on the Target exclusive "G1 color" Jazz, a running change variant of Final Battle Jazz adds another peg to the Crescent Cannon, thus allowing Jazz to use the weapon in all the different configurations on either arm.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40291 Original Allspark thread about the running change mold variant for Final Battle Jazz's Crescent Cannon]</ref>

:In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class "Premium Series", 2008)
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:This more movie-accurate version of Jazz sports a shinier coat of silver paint, along with added paint application detail to his robot mode parts. As it is a straight redeco, despite his coloration being far closer to the movie model, his weapon is still the old preliminary-art "sword" rather than the [[#FinalBattle|"Final Battle" version's]] much more screen-accurate shield/cannon (which is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the battle damaged parts).

:A Target exclusive two-pack that pits an unchanged Deluxe Class Final Battle Jazz (but simply named "Autobot Jazz" for this release) with a beige, brown, and on-fire orange version of Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] in reference to their battle on the top of a skyscraper in the film that was, in fact, Jazz's final battle.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Jazz.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The kids love me.]]
*'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Energy-blast missile

:Though larger than the standard [[#Deluxe_Class_toys|Deluxe class Jazz]], [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Ion Blast" Jazz is a simplified toy for the younger set with comparatively few parts and detailing. In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher in place of his left hand.

:This toy was later redecoed into [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Sonic Shock Smokescreen]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Cyber Slammers, 2007)

:[[Cyber Slammers]] Jazz is an amazingly cute Pontiac Solstice that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot hipster. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Jazz manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent cannon" rifle/shield, alternate left & right forearms

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Jazz is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with the included Crescent Cannon (which is also called that on the toy's packaging), or parts from other Robot Replica figures. Jazz's shoulders are actually mounted on the wrong sides of the toy as compared to the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie's]] CG design, but can easily swapped due to the toy's body construction.

====Titanium Series====
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Jazz.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Are you looking at me?"]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
*''Accessories'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Jazz is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the slender CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Jazz is sculpted with a small handgun that was only featured in concept art early in film development that still showed Arcee as part of the main cast. Jazz comes with a Movie-style Autobot symbol display stand, as is expected.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Titanium Series [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]].

===''Transformers'' (2010)===
====Human Alliance====
[[Image:TF2010 HumanAlliance Jazz&Lennox.jpg|thumb|right|300px| Hasbro DOES listen to the fans!]]
*'''Autobot Jazz / Captain Lennox''' (Human Alliance 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-32'''
**''Accessories:'' Motorcycle/"Shielded blaster", missile

: [[Human Alliance]] Jazz comes with [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]], who can interact with him in various ways.

: Firstly, a motorcycle and a missile is included, with the missile being stored by plugging it to the side of the motorcycle, acting as an exhaust pipe, although it detaches easily. The motorcycle can also be transformed into a spring-loaded, projectile-firing "Shielded blaster" resembling Jazz's Crescent Cannon and attached to his arm. Lennox can ride the motorcycle in either mode, with a different set of handlebars to grip in each mode.

: As usual, Lennox (or any other Human Alliance figure) can be seated inside Jazz in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the seats become his feet, which Lennox can still sit on. The leg panels near his feet each feature a small, flip-out, double-barreled weapon at the tip which, when the panels are flipped down, provide Lennox with an over-the-shoulder restraint with guns attached.

: Finally, Jazz has a switch on the back of his head that flips his visor up and down, giving us a rare glimpse of his sculpted eyes. Unfortunately, it is painted the same bronze color as most of his face, so you might have to squint to see them.

: The Japanese release sees the transparent blue plastic used for the windows and the visor switched for clear plastic on the windows and orange for the visor.

: Despite his small vehicle mode, he's actually quite tall for a Human Alliance figure, being roughly as tall as Barricade at the head. He's also quite decked out in [[paint operation]]s, being slathered in silver paint, with a bit of bronze and gold to boot.

: His packaging [[stock photography]] shows him minimally mis-transformed, with his front grille left unrotated. His [[instructions]] also haphazardly tell you to pull the hood up and out ''before'' you detach and pull his front wheels/shoulders apart, a feat which is ''excruciatingly'' hard to accomplish. It is actually ''much'' easier to pull the hood ''after'', when the small tabs on the hood aren't locked to the wheels/shoulders on the sides.

: Captain Lennox uses a more simplified design than other Human Alliance figures, with the waist and wrist joints omitted, meaning that he is unable to grip the horizontal handle on the shoulder cannon with his vertically-aligned hands.

He uses the same construction as the [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]], [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]], [[Blurr (Armada)|''Armada'' Blurr]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 Hot Rod]] cards.

*'''Autobot Ratchet and Autobot Jazz''' (2008)

:The Ratchet and Jazz turnaround is a 3D sculpture of the two characters, both in robot mode, emerging from rubble and explosions, with a movie-accurate sculpt (compared to the various transforming toys). The "turnaround" aspect of these sculptures simply means one can turn the piece around to display a raised-relief of the movie-style Autobot sigil instead.

{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Jazz armswordconcept.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Cool melee weapon in the game, totally non-existent in the movie.]]
* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds, considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''...not that ridiculous anymore.

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Jazz has a "near-perfect recordable memory that makes him invaluable as a documenter of battles" and is "equipped with a fusion engine that allows him to reach sub-light speeds in vehicle mode." [http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/autobots.htm] One, uh, would ''hope'' a Pontiac Solstice would be travelling at ''sub''-light speeds...

* During the final battle in [[Mission City]], there's a long period during which Jazz is not doing ''anything''. He's standing around in vehicle mode when Ironhide notices that the F-22 flying above the city is Starscream, stays in vehicle mode when Ironhide and Bumblebee pick up a Furby delivery truck for cover, ''still'' remains in vehicle mode when Starscream blasts them, and after Sam discovers that Bumblebee has lost his legs, all Jazz does is pull back for a few feet to give Bumblebee space to crawl. In the end, Jazz doesn't really join the battle ''at all'' until Brawl shows up.

[[Image:MovieJazzBarricadeLicensePlates.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Hey, who gave me Barricade's license plate?]]
* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaptation of the movie, which both explicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head. However, a recent rejiggering of Frenzy's biology makes this a moot point.

*Jazz's manner of speech is a late development. In the early script draft his first line in the film is simply saying "Greetings" to the humans.

* Though it is very brief, Jazz does indeed get a face close-up during the Mission City battle when he is shot by Megatron and falls over in pain, before he is ripped in half.

* The Pontiac Solstice prop car used for the movie sports the [[license plate]] "664 NLZO", without a state-specific registration. Although barely identifiable during his transformation before his fight with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], the car on display at GM Riverwalk in Detroit in June 2007 sported the same plate.<ref name="jazzgmriv">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jalopnik/592023523/ Pontiac Solstice prop car on display at GM Riverfront in Detroit in June 2007], Jalopnik photo at Flickr</ref> His robot CG model sports the license plate "1-4027E" instead... which also happens to be [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s license plate in vehicle mode. The license plate can be briefly glimpsed in the movie when Barricade slows down after having seemingly cornered Bumblebee, but is more clearly seen in set photos.

* In an appeal to his better nature in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan]], Optimus said part of him was "still Autobot Jazz", a reference to the name of the Jazz toys.

* Jazz was included in the downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the Revenge of the Fallen game. Apparently over-compensating for not being in the movie, Jazz is pretty much the most dangerous robot ever. If you play against him, just run.

* In both of his console game appearances for the [[Transformers The Game (console)|first movie game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|the second]], Jazz was not seen wearing his iconic visor.

* Jazz is killed by three completely different Decepticons. He's killed by Megatron in the movie, while [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] is the one that kills the Autobot in the Autobot campaign and a [[Barricade (Movie)|fake law enforcer]] kills him in the Decepticon campaign in the Transformers 2007 video game.
