O.P. called in Pral, Jayz, and Sais to help him when he and his friends were being harassed by the Decepticon Dark Matter Calibur trio. The three combined into the Cosmotector Super Combo Weapon, then unveiled their "true form" by powering up into a golden glowing version of the weapon and defeating the Dark Matter Calibur in a single blow.

Golden Jayz of sunlight

• Battle Shield Optimus (Multi-pack, 2012-08-12)
  • Energon crystal: AP Positro

This gold version of Jayz, dubbed Jayz G, was made available before the normal version. Like all pack-in Arms Microns, he comes unassembled and unpainted on a set of runners. Once assembled (and given stickers if you so choose), he transforms from a humanoid robot into a lance. He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons", though he is specifically designed to form the bottom of the Cosmotector shield with Sais and Pral.

He is part of the Japanese Toys"R"Us exclusive Battle Shield Optimus multi-pack, which includes a redeco of AM-01 Optimus Prime, a gray version of O.P., and gold versions of Pral and Sais.

Apparently into both Jazz and Blues

• Jayz (AMW Micron, 2012-08-25)
  • ID number: AMW-09
  • Energon crystal: AP Positro

The "normal" blue version of Jayz is an individually-sold Arms Micron, coming in a baggie as part of the second wave of "AMW" releases.

His packaging shows him being used by Bulkhead.

Notes

• The name "Jayz" is basically "Jazz", which is spelled "ジャズ" (jazu) in katakana, given a different vowel-sound. He even has a helmet and visor similar to the original Jazz.
• Jayz is voiced by the same actor who provides Bulkhead's Japanese voice... and Jayz's packaging shows him being used by Bulkhead. Coincidence?!... probably, since the other two Cosmotector dudes' voices don't line up with their packaging-back wielders.
