  • Autobot Jazz (One-Step Changer, 2019)
  • TakaraTomy name: Turbo Change Jazz
  • TakaraTomy release date: September 28, 2019
  • TakaraTomy ID number: TCV-26
  • Action Attack: "Dual Boom Blast"
Cyberverse 1-Step Changer Jazz is a hefty retooling of Prowl, with mostly new parts, transforming instantly from car mode to robot mode when his exhaust is pressed down.
Jazz features a "Dual Boom Blast" Action Attack gimmick, which extends a pair of cannons over his head when the spoiler on his back is slid into position. This then allows you to manually flip out the blue blast effects built into the end of each "barrel".


  • Autobot Jazz (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2019)
  • Series: 2
  • Bag code: O
Part of the second Series of blindpacked Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers, Jazz is a redeco of the Drift figure from series 1, transforming from a soft-plastic robot into a tiny sportscar in a few simple steps.
Jazz is actually a rare repaint, being cast in the exact same shade of slightly-milky-white plastic as his base mold. And he's only a partial repaint at that, as his tires are painted with the same dark-gunmetal as Drift's.


Notes

[edit]
  • Jazz's design is a stylized version of Robots in Disguise Jazz with robot mode details inspired by his Generation 1 counterpart's Reveal the Shield toy and an alternate mode modeled after his Power of the Primes toy. While the One-Step Changer toy retains the classic white coloration, the packing art alternatively features a silver coloration inspired by "movie series" Jazz.
  • Jazz would have appeared in the first flashback sequence of "Maccadam's" playing cyber-bass. The scene was cut from the final episode for time and budget reasons.[2] This unproduced scene may have been a reference to his 2005 IDW counterpart's fondness for Aghartan electro-bass.
  • Jazz was listed among a handful of characters Mae Catt expressed a desire to feature in the cartoon. Had Jazz appeared, the character would have been portrayed as being female, similar to Skywarp and Cosmos,[3] contradicting the toy's advertising copy that notes him as male. In the end, "Wild Wild Wheel" makes reference to Jazz, but he does not physically appear on camera.
