'''Bumblebee''' is one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] most trusted lieutenants. Though not the strongest or most powerful of the Autobots, Bumblebee more than makes up for this with a bottomless well of pluck and determination. He would gladly give his life to protect others and stop the [[Decepticons]].

Badly damaged in a conflict with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Bumblebee lost the ability to speak verbally, though he can still communicate over inter-Autobot frequencies (in a fashion that seems somewhat akin to instant messaging, a useable but more distant and less personal means of interaction).

Bumblebee commanded the Autobot forces at [[Tyger Pax]] attempting to hold the Decepticons off while the [[Allspark]] was launched off-planet. He succeeded but lost his ability to speak in the process. Later he was the first to track the Allspark to Earth, where he learned to express his emotions by tuning in appropriately emotive music on his car radio. Awww...

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''

[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]

: ''Movie'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|1974 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the ''Movie'' toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

[[Image:Movie_Deluxe_1974_Bumblebee_JPtoy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]

: In robot mode, Bumblebee does not quite accurately replicate his movie appearance due to his chest remaining mostly unchanged and the sparse yellow paint applications render his limbs largely colourless. Due to the extensive use of ball joints, he features an excellent range of articulation. Unusually for an all-new sculpt in the ''Movie'' toyline, he features traditional-styled fists with 5mm holes. Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph]] during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously.

: Packaging photos and early [[prototype|test shots]] of Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[Takaratomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts.

: An impossible to get deluxe Bumblebee, this time around a concept Camaro. This one is surprisingly more accurate than both the ultimate and other deluxe.

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Bumblebeemovielegends.jpg|right|thumb|100px|It's 4 bucks. Whatcha gonna do?]]

:Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1974 Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the robot mode very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Bumblebee_Barricade_deluxeboxset.jpg|left|thumb|130px|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]

: This battle pack contains the 1974 Camaro deluxe-class Bumblebee and the deluxe-class [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

{{-}}

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)

[[Image:Ultimate_Bumblebee_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Ironically less accurate than the Deluxe-class toy.]]

:Ultimate Bumblebee transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. He is very expensive and very vaguely animatronic.

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee (Camaro Concept)''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''

:Similar in appearance to the Ultimate toy, albiet much smaller, this second Deluxe class version of Bumblebee also transforms into a concept vehicle of the 2009 Camaro. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Oddly, this one is MORE accurate than either the older-model deluxe OR the Ultimate figures, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. It's also slightly larger than the other Deluxe figure, which makes [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] very sad.

====Cyber Slammers====
*'''Bumblebee''' (2007)

[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberslammer.jpg|right|thumb|100px|A Battlecharger for the new millennium.]]

: Bumblebee, like other Cyber Slammers, has motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward and slowly pops into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie.

:This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1974 Camaro bodyform. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel-joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

==Merchandise==
*'''Beatmix Bumblebee''' (2007)

: ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee is a device that hooks up to a music device, similarly to an ''iDog''. Like the aforementioned product, ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee reacts to the music being played (outputed via a speaker within him). With a touch, he can also sample the owner's music tracks and replays them with sound effects from the movie. His arms are posable, but Bumblebee cannot transform.

==Trivia==
* According to an article on [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121138?imw=Y#12 Edmunds.com], the filmmakers wanted Bumblebee's original Earth form to be the 1974 iteration of the Camaro because it was the worst Camaro possible that also had chrome bumpers.
* The same article indicates that the 1974 Camaros used in the film were all purchased via online auction for under $6000.

:Ultimate Bumblebee transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. He is very expensive and very vaguely animatronic.

*'''Bumblebee (Camaro Concept)''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''

:Similar in appearance to the Ultimate toy, albiet much smaller, this second Deluxe class version of Bumblebee also transforms into a concept vehicle of the 2009 Camaro. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Oddly, this one is MORE accurate than either the older-model deluxe OR the Ultimate figures, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. It's also slightly larger than the other Deluxe figure, which makes [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] very sad.

: Bumblebee, like other Cyber Slammers, has motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward and slowly pops into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie.

:This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1974 Camaro bodyform. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel-joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

==Merchandise==
*'''Beatmix Bumblebee''' (2007)

: ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee is a device that hooks up to a music device, similarly to an ''iDog''. Like the aforementioned product, ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee reacts to the music being played (outputed via a speaker within him). With a touch, he can also sample the owner's music tracks and replays them with sound effects from the movie. His arms are posable, but Bumblebee cannot transform.

==Trivia==
* According to an article on [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121138?imw=Y#12 Edmunds.com], the filmmakers wanted Bumblebee's original Earth form to be the 1974 iteration of the Camaro because it was the worst Camaro possible that also had chrome bumpers.
* The same article indicates that the 1974 Camaros used in the film were all purchased via online auction for under $6000.

Jazz (Movie)

2007-07-04T04:11:11Z

68.174.5.231: /* ''Transformers'' (2007) film */

{{disambig2|the Autobot hipster from the live action movie|the original ''cool cat''|Jazz (G1)}}

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Slide with me, just bounce with me, now freeze."]]

First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanour of Ironhide or 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. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.

==Fiction==

===Ghosts Of Yesterday===
Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)

He had to...split. He gets trapped by Megatron (under is gigantic metaic feet) and has... words with Megatron, so Megatron sorta kinda rips him into multiple pieces. But no wories, acording to some product detail about an upcoming deluxe class repaint of Jazz, [[Ratchet]] rebuilds him and gives him a [[G1]] like paint job.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon..."]]

: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 choice weapon configurations: ''a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, 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]]ing 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.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|"WhY my BuMPers hURt?"]]

: A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this transformation and a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. If 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 bar envy]] is unknown.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''

*'''Autobot Jazz (Repaint)''' (Deluxe, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|220px|"...''real'' soon."]]

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] has a colour and paint deco based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme, though he is lacking in Martini sponsorship for obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

====Fast Action Battlers====
*'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (2007)

[[Image:Movie_FAB_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|"What good am I again?"]]

:Smaller than his Deluxe toy and less articulated, this one has a missile in place of one hand. Who knew Jazz was a lefty?

====Titanium Series====
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Master, 2007)

==Trivia==
*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, this very idea comes from sketches of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that has Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield combination stated above. Way to compensate text-writing guy!
