Transformers RTS Special Ops Jazz

[ToaVorotae18]

It's quite funny, with hasbro bringing back the reveal the sheild thing. They had that on one of their beast war series.

[fxfranz]

@ToaVorotae18

yup

[xHowintzerx]

i have the same problems with the head. It kinda spoils the smoothness of the wheels

[fxfranz]

@xHowintzerx

i see...

[transirocar]

meron pa kaya niyan sa greenhills pag meron po paki message nalng po kung meron pa po o wala dun nalang ako bibili ng regalo ko sa chinese new year or which we may call it my birthday

[transirocar]

who would you prefer leader class ultra magnus(animated) or this

[fxfranz]

@transirocar

it's like asking do you like oranges or apples ?

i like both

[transirocar]

@fxfranz hahaha tnx

[AutobotAwsomeness]

i got this today for only 6 bucks! and i think hasbro is going to continue with new figures in the rts and generations line in i think sometime in 2012 and great review :)

[fxfranz]

@AutobotAwsomeness

cool

thanks :-)

[ch000x]

how do you keep your packaging neat and with almost perfect? after opening mine, the papers always torn..salamat in advance sir.

[fxfranz]

@ch000x

i have a video showing how i do it. check it out on my channel.

also, i show how i do it again in my MU Apocalypse review.

[ch000x]

@fxfranz thanks

[RuzzeLJeaN]

@fxfranz ei, can you give me the title of the video you posted about opening the pacakge without ruining it entirely? thanks!

[RuzzeLJeaN]

@RuzzeLJeaN THANKS!

[eliguy1]

he is a repaint of prowl right?

[fxfranz]

@eliguy1

nope

[DeescytheReviews]

nice Review and nice Figur!!!

Finally got him for 50% off.

Greetz from germany!

[fxfranz]

@DeescytheReviews

danke !

[SaintBEEP]

I think this mould is a Porsche 944. Originally Jazz was a Porsche 935.

[fxfranz]

@SaintBEEP

i see...

[TheMeddlingMage]

Would you recommend getting this figure if you need a Jazz

[fxfranz]

@TheMeddlingMage

DEFINITELY !

[TheMeddlingMage]

@fxfranz

I plan to get him this week when I get paid. I had to get another certain Transformer for my collection first and that was Generations Wheeljack.

[fxfranz]

@TheMeddlingMage

cool

[xavieritolindo]

u sound like george tekei from star trek !

[fxfranz]

@xavieritolindo

i had allergies doing this vid

[supermongoose84]

i have never seen rts in new york. Why haven't i seen one before? 

[fxfranz]

@supermongoose84

no idea.

they're all over here in Manila and on 50% clearance

[b8702131]

just got him at half price. i noticed there are two kinds of packaging - one displaying the gun and one with the gun stored in the car (i think). just to play safe i bought the one with the gun displayed.

[fxfranz]

@b8702131

cool

[robotadventures]

you are lucky... we never got those in japan...

[fxfranz]

@robotadventures

i think you'll get them in the TF United toy line

[optimus1497]

Honestly you're one of my favorite reviewers on youtube.

[fxfranz]

@optimus1497

thanks :-) man

i really appreciate it

[nitrodudezoom]

@fxfranz yeah, you, peaugh and nightslash2020 are the best. seanlong comes close second

[fxfranz]

@nitrodudezoom

thanks :-)

[kingkongbassbeat]

I agree on the better than G1 transformers thing but I'd still kill for a G1 Soundwave.

[fxfranz]

@kingkongbassbeat

cool

[TheDalekdave]

what happend to the at-at review

[fxfranz]

@TheDalekdave

stay tuned...

[fxfranzfan]

fxfranz,you should not look at the instuctions.You can just find videos on youtube about the figure

[fxfranz]

@fxfranzfan

well, most of Hasbro's instructions are acceptable...

[baredas]

I have only seen this in package, but I have to say the white plastic looks really cheap, almost translucent in places. So while I like the design the overall look almost makes me think of KO's.

[fxfranz]

@baredas

ok.

[BeybladeMaster1117]

@fxfranz O_O my friend lied to me! he said the dark of the moon toys don't come out until august but yay! the toys come out 5 day before my birthday just perfect!

[MrJazzMan88]

i got my g1 jazz from some hippie dude for ten bucks and a g1 megatron for 5 bucks!

[fxfranz]

@MrJazzMan88

cool

[trence5]

damn these new figures look great but I tell ya one thing........ they're damn sure NOT for little kids...

[fxfranz]

@trence5

yup. but you'll be surprised, some kids are better at transforming figures than parents like me

[pinkeevee11]

@fxfranz The gap between his shoulders can be resolved by pushing the arm up towards the wheel. :)

[fxfranz]

@pinkeevee11

cool, thanks :-)

[OmegaTaz]

@fxfranz i dont think there's a shortage sa stocks.. tingin ko may hoarding para mabenta at a higher price sa mga toy stores tulad sa gh.. parang yung nangyari sa animated ironhide and rodimus minor..

bad =(

anyway i got my jazz sa robinsons dept store sa festival alabang.. wala na yan sa megamall and sa makati..

[fxfranz]

@OmegaTaz

well, madami pa rin kasing bumibili ng figure. nag-restock over the weekend and this week, pero bilis na na-wipe out. i'm sure pag dating ng bagong wave, yung may wreck-gar at perceptor saka yung generations na kup at scourge, hindi na papansinin ang mga Jazz figures.

i feel this is like what happened kay ROTF sideswipe. everytime lumalabas sa retail shelves dinadampot agad. anyway,buti na lang maraming stocks ang Playkit nito this time. sana sa Star Wars at MU damihan din.

[TFexpert]

awesome because i'm coming in febuary 10th from my long holiday to get figs for my reviews

[fxfranz]

@TFexpert

cool

[wawhupaw]

presyong united na yan?! 1,200? grabe, di nakaantay ng SRP retails sa malls, dun nako sa TF united 1,200 rin ms maganda pa!

[wawhupaw]

press??? what the hell is that happening to hasbro wrong instuctions bwahahaha!

[fxfranz]

@wawhupaw

i know...

[wawhupaw]

sorry but Takara united versions are more better than hasbro!

[fxfranz]

@wawhupaw

ok.

[idiotecha]

Jazz just hit retail now, and is extremely shortpacked. too many Mudflaps, and only two of these per delivery? bastards.

[fxfranz]

@idiotecha

that's too bad

i'm sure more stocks will arrive in the weeks to come

[OmegaTaz]

@fxfranz i dont think there's a shortage sa stocks.. tingin ko may hoarding para mabenta at a higher price sa mga toy stores tulad sa gh.. parang yung nangyari sa animated ironhide and rodimus minor..

bad =(

anyway i got my jazz sa robinsons dept store sa festival alabang.. wala na yan sa megamall and sa makati..

[exceIIance]

This will be my first Jazz btw, although I have a Mighty Mugg of him. Haha!

[fxfranz]

@exceIIance

cool

you should try and get the TF Animated Jazz, he's pretty cool as well

[fxfranz]

@exceIIance

cool, no prob :-)

[exceIIance]

I can't wait for this one to hit the retail stores. Still too expensive at Php1,200 at GH shops.

[fxfranz]

@exceIIance

cool

[fxfranz]

@BumblePrime1000

yup :-)

[Vampiros2]

I GAVE IN! I GAVE IN! I snagged this one from R-Toys just today! He is really a great fig. Time to put my Movie figs off the shelves and put out all my Classics/2.0/and Generations figs out. If all goes well, I'll have the Autobots' Season 1 and Season 3 of G1 in classics mold.

[fxfranz]

@Vampiros2

nice!

good one, bro :-)

[Starwarstreky]

cool toy.

[fxfranz]

@Starwarstreky

thanks :-)

[golf123morgan]

Top review mate, best reviewer out there!!

Jazz, tracks and preceptor about time these guys got released and wheeljacks not to far behind!!!

[fxfranz]

@golf123morgan

tthanks :-) man, 'really appreciate it :-)

[jetprime100]

cant wait till july 1 2011 right fxfranz

[fxfranz]

@jetprime100

yup

[adobolamb]

@fxfranz: thanks, i'll go check it out...that is if I have time. Salamat uli.

[nicoarmado]

I actually almost call this figure the Omega Jazz. Why? He has a 1984 body style, he has the 1987/88 pretender gun, His altmode looks like Pontiac solstice, all it's missing, is Animated Jazz nunchuks and he is truly the Omega Jazz haha!!!

But I agree, really really great figure! Nice detailing, Great articulation, and a great homage to G1 Jazz, my favorite from the G1 Autobots!

Just got this guy on Black Friday whooo hooo!

[nicoarmado]

@nicoarmado And the Gun is actually based on Jazz's Pretender figure gun.

[fxfranz]

@nicoarmado

cool!

you're right!

nice deal you got there!

[jazz44mcf]

can i request a review from you hftd hooks prime i wanted a prime since the first movie the wood be a nice figure

[fxfranz]

@jazz44mcf

i don't have that figure at this time, sorry

[jazz44mcf]

do you have jetfie rotf leader



[fxfranz]

@jazz44mcf

yup. check out my channel for the review

[LyleStyleZ]

wow!!! i MUST find this jazz! i'll be on the lookout for him out here i the states. thanks so much for your review of Jazz! so coooool!

[fxfranz]

@LyleStyleZ

no prob :-)

[joesingle]

Awesome review! Your funny when you make your comments about what you don't like about the figure.  Keep it up!

[fxfranz]

@joesingle

thanks :-) LOL

i'll try.

do or do not, there is not try -- yoda

fine, i'll do it LOL

[cazar4]

I just got him and Tracks from Kmart yesterday. It took me an hour to get them because they are not registered in the store yet. Thank God for Kmart!. You think its possible they can remold and recolor Jazz as Ricochet?

[fxfranz]

@cazar4

nice!

no idea... we'll just have to wait and see

[bilmoko23]

Matagal ko ng hinihintay ito. Yes!!

[fxfranz]

@bilmoko23

maganda 'tong figure na 'to. i hope you get it soon

[grizzlycougar7]

does the chest plant click in? Grat reveiw.

[fxfranz]

@grizzlycougar7

nope

thanks :-)

[babyblueknowwho]

I've noticed how Hasbro seems to be making their 'sport-car' characters a little bigger lately. Tell me, is Jazz the same size as Classics/Universe Prowl/Bluestreak? Or is he bigger like Generations Drift/Blur?

[fxfranz]

@babyblueknowwho

thereabouts.

definitely smaller than drift/blurr

[babyblueknowwho]

@fxfranz Thanx. As you can probably tell, I'm a stickler for scale. :)

I wonder what other character Hasbro will get out this mold?

[Nikki0917]

I saw this at R-toys...it was 2x retail. Too expensive for me

[redvillain6]

lol, hey i'm curious...do you save all your packages from ALL your toys???

[fxfranz]

@redvillain6

only a few. the rest go in the trash bin

[redvillain6]

@fxfranz If it's not too much trouble...you think you can do a video on JUST your packages? i think it'd be cool for your fans :)

[DMSL2007]

Very nice fig can't wait to get mine from Robotkingdom. I'm glad the Classics line is back in Reveal the Shield.

[fxfranz]

@DMSL2007

thanks :-) Ray

cool

yup

[typevthree]

OMG, I need this figure. Jazz is just TOO cool.

[fxfranz]

@typevthree

cool

[godfrove]

wonder when he will get a repaint as Ricochet and a Targetmaster gun

[fxfranz]

@godfrove

we'll have to wait and see...

[baraki808]

wow did not notice that its been a long time since the TF2 now TF3 is next year ? wow how time flies

[fxfranz]

@baraki808

yup

[TheUgatan]

blast soundwaves to soundwave

the gaps in his chest can be remedied by the gun you know coz u just did

anyways cool review! more power to you and more review from fxfranz!

[fxfranz]

@TheUgatan

yup

thanks :-)

yup

[Questlyfe]

pretty nice i must say :) think i might actually bite and buy this guy. Speakers really are a sweet touch. Well done man!

[fxfranz]

@Questlyfe

cool

thanks :-) mate

[babyvhazty]

sir ito b ung bagong labas na version ng transformers? angas ng figure n to sir....

[fxfranz]

@babyvhazty

Reveal the Shield yung sunod na sub-toyline pagkatapos ng Hunt for the Decepticons

[Vampiros2]

His transformation is very much reminiscent of his G1 transformation scheme.

[fxfranz]

@Vampiros2

yup

[Vampiros2]

I'll get Kup, Perceptor, Tracks, Lugnut, and of course Wreck-Gar!

[fxfranz]

@Vampiros2

cool

[johnsonlee926]

SO NICE !!!

I very like your review !!

[fxfranz]

@johnsonlee926

thanks :-)

[cow681]

[voe600]

@cow681 lucky my walmart just got genrations, megatron, soundwave, and darkmount, at least i bought em :(

[fxfranz]

@cow681

nice !

[Rex4441]

He's actually a good substitute for the movie Jazz figure cuz that figure sucked!

[fxfranz]

@Rex4441

yup

[hung17688]

I saw this and mindset today but I didn't pick them up because I don't know about the reveal the shield gimmick. 

[fxfranz]

@hung17688

i think you should get tracks and jazz now, but wait for mindset and fallback to go on clearance since they're repaints/redecos

[hung17688]

@fxfranz You're right:). Plus, I saw them at Walgreens and they're 15bucks a piece so I knew right away I have to pass them up and Kmart prices aren't so low either:D. But I want to watch your review first because I want to know if the reveal the shield gimmick is worth getting:D.

[USRebelz]

ahh you forgot to show us the rub symbol!

[fxfranz]

@USRebelz

check out my Tracks video

[nemesispeaugh]

franz! have you put any thought on whether or not you are going to purchase the KO seekers of henkei thundercracker and skywarp?

[fxfranz]

@nemesispeaugh

i haven't seen them anywhere

[MGBandit75]

Nice review. Man, I hope they remake G1 Blitzwing one of these day.

[fxfranz]

@MGBandit75

thanks :-)

[jaket011]

meron n ba sa TRU or TK nyan?

[fxfranz]

@jaket011

di ko alam

[jlogano20]

wow the shield pointing on the package is a fail!

[fxfranz]

@jlogano20

yup

[jlogano20]

i order this guy on ebay for 20 no return excepted then found him 2 days later (today)

at a local kmart here in ny for 8 on sale DAMN!

[fxfranz]

@jlogano20

that sucks

[adobolamb]

Is it available in retail in Manila? I haven't seen any of them last week at TRU Rob Ermita?

[fxfranz]

@adobolamb

try R-Toys at 2nd level V-Mall, Greenhills Shopping Center, Ortigas Center, San Juan City

[SubjectXer0]

Awesome review for a really cool figure.

I'm looking forward to alot of the newer stuff. I just hope Hasbro does a Transformers Prime toyline at some point too..

[fxfranz]

@SubjectXer0

thanks :-)

cool

[AlexanderStopMotion]

so cool man

[fxfranz]

@AlexanderStopMotion

thanks :-)

[acanthopleura]

Ugh if Hasbro redisigns the classics seeker mold I'd have to rebuy every jet (all 8 of them!)

[jlogano20]

@acanthopleura 8?

isn't there only starscream,skywarp,thundercrac­ker,thrust,drige,ramjet???

who are the other 2

[INFLTTR]

@jlogano20 acidstorm is the only other one

[jlogano20]

@INFLTTR so there are 7 not 8

[acanthopleura]

@jlogano20 Acid Storm and Ghost Starscream (Ghost SS was after all a season 3 character for a while)

[jlogano20]

@acanthopleura oh yeah i really don't count it as another since its still starscream

[fxfranz]

@acanthopleura

me too :-(

[renzoelising]

FINALLY!!!! you got ur 1st Reveal the Shield..!! did you get Turbo Tracks, Fallback aswell????

[fxfranz]

@renzoelising

thanks :-)

yup

nope

[fxfranz]

@renzoelising

will wait for Fallback to go on clearance

[yuujinmikeru]

Woah! You got him? I waited all day yesterday at the Hasbro Grand Toy Fair hoping this'll be released but no luck.

[fxfranz]

@yuujinmikeru

i got him at R-Toys in Greenhills

[fxfranz]

@yuujinmikeru

if you want to get stuff early, wag ka na umasa sa mga events ng Cybertron. papaasahin ka lang nila sa wala.  tignan mo nangyari sa mga Marvel collectors na umasa sa hasbro toy fair this year.

yan ang problema sa kanila eh, papunta sila ng papunta sa mga collectors, tatakutin nila na hindi na mahahanap sa regular retail channels, tapos pag-andoon ka there's never enough stock for everyone. sayang sa gasolina at panahon dahil paghihintayin ka buong araw. sana ma-karma din sila...

[ronqwerty47]

@fxfranz totoong-totoo!

[RodimusMinor1987]

Did you get Turbo Tracks aswell

[fxfranz]

@RodimusMinor1987

yup

[uSCOTTpwnd]

The only Classics/Henkei/Universe/Gener­ations/RTS character that i feel that the g1 one was better is Tracks. The car mode was just amazingly sleek in the 80s and proportions were better. Now the roof of the car forms far too big of the chest and since the car is supposed to apply to both wheeljack and "Turbo" Tracks, it could not do the 80s character justice.

[fxfranz]

@uSCOTTpwnd

i suppose so...

[runescape228]

Lol "yeah right"

I anticipate a Ricochet redeco! If that happened, it'd be interesting if he retains the speakers...or maybe the budget will go towards his Targetmaster partner!

[fxfranz]

@runescape228

cool
