[1] Now that In Demand Toys have posted the stock photography, may I humbly petition for this page to be restored? Pending further debate on naming and character status here on the wiki? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 15:12, 30 June 2023 (EDT)

I would just put it on Jazz's page. The insistence that it's a new character is a little specious. Saix (talk) 15:28, 30 June 2023 (EDT)
Agreeing here, at least until we get a behind the scenes bit, an online profile, or similar. Tindalos (talk) 15:42, 30 June 2023 (EDT)
Jazz's page. It's a toy of Jazz using the subgroup name to disambiguate from the other Jazz in the same assortment. Until/if designer notes indicate otherwise, it's default Jazz.--ItsWalky (talk) 16:00, 30 June 2023 (EDT)

Well then, can I at least get the image work restored for use?S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:47, 30 June 2023 (EDT)

Done! Grum (talk) 18:56, 30 June 2023 (EDT)
Thanks! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:56, 30 June 2023 (EDT)

Why is it that we still are not considering Legacy: Evolution Laser Cycle to be a separate character? "G2 Universe Laser Cycle" was released with its own name side-by-side with "Jazz Universe Jazz". That says to me Hasbro considers them to be different in contrast to Siege "Optimus Prime" and "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" who are the same. Hasbro did not name this toy "Cycle Jazz" or "Jazz Cycle Mode" or whatnot just as Cloudcover was not called "G2 Universe Ramjet" when it would have been easy for Hasbro not to assign Cloudcover a new-character trademark.

I think we should just treat them like a combination those Classic Heroes Team chars (who were both G1 and Aligned) and Shadowstrip-give Laser Cycle its own page but leave it on Jazz's page due to the shared connection. And then put a footnote like with the Magnaboss components about how they could be the same or whatnot, but to be safe we gave them separate pages. Do the same with Silverstreak.Poliwag06 (talk) 22:22, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
You know... Poliwag suggestion is the most sensible. I mean Mark Maher Instagram post is a thing, and so unless a retcon occur, I think were stuck at the moment.--Pizza-king1 (talk) 22:35, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
