[powermasterjazz]

got him, got him, need him, got him....

[bendablesfan]

i love the way jazz transformers its like faceplant the floor!!!!

[bendablesfan]

and this is y he should not of died and why if op dies he should be leader!!!!!

[AeonMagnus]

@bendablesfan Jazz didn't die.

[bendablesfan]

@AeonMagnus yeah i no but he did in the michael bay movie

[scottandrewhutchins]

You should see the first issue of the comic book. Not only does it roll call every single character, but they all look exactly like the toys, even Ratchet and Ironhide.

[CaptainAshSpearow]

Available at fine retailers everywhere!

[TimeForFunGuy]

How come G1's the only cartoon that has ALL episodes on DVD except for Beast Wars?

i want ANIMATED Season 3 and ARMADA. hope Transformers: Prime gets all episodes on DVD

[efil4own1isback]

...all available now on eBay.

[smokescreen]

man, i cant help watching these all over again... love them in their classic and original modes! better than the recent movies that is...

[philiptwood]

This scene was the coolest thing I'd ever seen back when I first saw in 84.

[ShyCherri104]

I thought Prowl was Primes Second in Command and Jazz was third..then again, I could be wrong

[TheMarvelousDC]

@ShyCherri104 Sometimes it was prowl, then 1 episode later it was Jazz, another episode later Ironhide...

[bonecrusher1296]

Notice when Sideswipe transforms, his wheels turn from gray to black.

[kd3054]

Always liked the detail that went into the transformations (though it's obvious to me now after all these years it was to show off how the toys transformed). Also liked how spread out the Autobots were when driving vs. the long line that dominated later episodes.

[Axel7043]

@AeonMagnus do you have any clips of Seaspray?

[luizlac]

This is one of the most accurated transformation sequence in the show. This time, the animators really did their homework. Extra points for the very well detailed Wheeljack's transformation.

[coreakuma]

LMAO WheelJack was jacked when he got called!!! Aww Man! Toocalssic, Too funny.

[ShadowACE1998]

0:27 I always liked how Prime's cab shifted when he took off. I can't explain why it always stuck out in my mind other than I grew up around 18 wheelers, and can tell you that cab over trucks like that do that when you take off. Points for realism. :-)

[LilRonin01]

available in stores now

[coreakuma]

Cliff Jumper was like:"Fuck it I'ma transform anyway even if he don't call me!"( seriously, why is this the only footage on Youtube that I found where I can hear Jazz speak?)

[AeonMagnus]

@coreakuma There should be a few more in my channel. I did have more, but I lost them when my old channel was deleted.

[ShadowACE1998]

@coreakuma On the same note, Wheeljack had a look like "pick me' pick me' pick me!" "Wheeljack!" "YES!"

[Rane909]

i so need to catch them all.

[erailea]

@Trickycandyfloss - it made sense to kill him. If no Autobot died in the film it would have made the Autobot's look impervious to defeat. And of all the Autobot's in the 1st movie Jazz was the most easily disposed of - Ratchet is a medic so killing him off doesn't make sense, Ironhide has extremely hard armor and is a weapon specialist, Optimus can't die without coming back, which defeats the purpose, and Bee is a main character. Jazz was just OP's 2nd. Not important (so to speak)

[SpeedRacerFiber]

CHEE CHA CHOO CHOO CHOO! = Best transformation sound effect ever.

[Palkia792]

I like the way Jazz transforms. Jumps forwards then transforms.

[soseztheleadr]

Roll Calls are always the best in "Transformers". ^^

[ThunderMaximus]

prime was a lazy bastard.he had jazz do all the hard work lol

[transfan24]

"Autobots, start your engines!"

LOL, you gotta love Jazz.

[transfan24]

The voice change is because shortly after the 1986 movie, his voice actor, Scatman Crothers, passed away. (In Seasons 3 and 4, Jazz doesn't have any lines.) They killed him because, after Bumblebee and Prime, they felt he would be the most missed. :(

[Originalman320]

@transfan24 Jazz survived the 1986 movie. But as you noted, the Scatman had passed away during the making of the 3rd season.

[transfan24]

@Originalman320 The killing thing was about the new movie. Someone asked why they changed his voice actor and got killed in the '07 movie, so I explained about Scatman Crothers, then I explained why the new movie people thought it was okay to kill him off. Sorry to have confused you!

[ModernkidR35]

I can't help but feel like this is Hasbro owning the script saying, "BUY THEM! BUY THEM ALL NOW YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE!!!" Lol, I love it.

[erailea]

@ModernkidR35 - lol. That's what it's for XD The 1st 3 episodes were made specifically to sell the toys, after they discovered those episodes were received so well they made the rest of G1

[DarkknightChris]

I always wonder who is in 2nd-in-command? One episode says it's Jazz, then Ironhide, than Ultra Magnus.

[ModernkidR35]

It was never made very clear in the cartoon who was second in command, but it was in fact Prowl =D Whom I love.

[maxtergundam]

if i'm not wrong, on earth was jazz, in space was ultra magnus

[DayLateReviewer]

I'm late here, but it's shared command between Jazz, Ironhide, and Prowl. Jazz is my choice though, I mean, he got to call the names.

[QtLeigh32]

thats sad. he didnt call cliffjumper and yet he still transforms. I think hes retarded

[ArtisanAlchemist]

You know what, I think they reference Jazz's transformation at 0:27 for the movie. That scene where those S-7 dudes were chasing the Autobots and Prime ordered them to roll out.

[FrappMocha]

Where's Bumblebee?

[yugiohvampire]

YAH!where iz BB!

[ShockGuey5173]

Wheeljack is like "Oh yeah, here comes my turn!"

[howeverclever]

Ok, I know you posted this 9 months ago, but I'm just now reading it and got a good laugh! Thats exactly what it looks like hes doing! HA!

[czzhao]

Basically, this scene is almost perfect; Cliffjumper is not called, guess he just jump in & followed behind Prowl for some action; just one mistake, 1st scene when all Autobots are standing still, you can clearly see Ironhide, but when Sunstreaker tranformed, beside him was Ratchet but Jazz called Ironhide, so damn producers got Ironhide minivan & Ratchet ambulance van confused again, otherwise everybody is there, except Cliffjumper not called, didn't see Mirage and Ironhide(mistaked) transform

[bl4ckw1ngz64]

Actually, in MMTMTE Part 1& 2, we also see Ratchet, Huffer, and Brawn.

Cliffjumper probably transformed because he was itching for some action, and he didn't care if didn't get called.

[czzhao]

Yea, not to mention Bluestreak, basically classic mistake of the 80

[gamerfire3]

"Let's Roll!" :D

[TheBlackShinigami]

WHOO HOO

AUTOBOTS RULE XD

[celticguard1993]

awesome stuff always loved the autobots
