Finally! A look at this this amazingly excellent Human Alliance figure. I'm not even a big movie Jazz fan and I love this figure. Possibly the best Human Alliance figure to date.
FYI, Deluxe Landmine from the first movie toys can stand upside down on one hand, if properly posed. It's awesome. Wish more or these toys could do that.
I agree 100%, not only is this an amazing H.A. Figure, But by far the absolute best jazz figure ever by a long shot. Super solid in both forms. One of my new favs!!!!
great review Peaugh. I just did a Jazz week on my channel myself. Ended it with this guy, because I love this dude. If you get a minute check it out. Keep the reviews up, man, you are the best.
My Target did a clean up last weekend too. The week before, all we had were 4 Tuner Mudflaps and a Mudflap. Next weekend, BAM! WFC, Generations, and HFTD, as far as the eye could see.
The tags on this video are the best thing since sliced bread. Great review, Peaugh, and thanks for the heads up on Target, I finally found wave one of Generations.
looks like they finally figured out how to do human alliance right the scale in alt mode, the transformation, the look of the figure in robot mode, everything about this figure is great! i was really excited when i heard about this figure, and im glad it turned out so well too bad its another jazz without "poping in half action" ;)
Wow. I have to admit that is really a lot of robot in a small car. That is pretty damned cool. Incidentally I saw a whole mess of hunt for the decepticons figures at my wal-mart today, which was in the middle of a remodel. Including seaspray, and, there was a battle between my heart and my wallet over whether or not to get him. Alas, my wallet won, as it usually does.
Nice review. JAZZ is my favorite of all TF characters. I had the white & blue version when i was like 9yrs old so i was so excited when this 1 was released. So excited that i brought 2 of them. 1 to play with & 1 to keep, never 2 take out the pack.
I just recently got this figure, and it has to be one of my favorite figures of all time! This is my only real gripe, though: while I am absolutely ecstatic about his beautiful silver paint job, you have to be careful with his transformation, as this paint scratches relatively easily.
And it Bay didn't get the idea from the G1 series, he was chosen to direct the next installment in a long running franchise, and chose characters from G1 that older people who saw the cartoon/comic as a kid could be like "Hey! I remember that dude!"
Oh yes, I went to Target on Sunday looking for Drift and they had 2 of these there. In the end I found Drift on the highest peg in the very back of the Generations. Is he awesome? You betcha.
i dont know if you noticed this but on the motorcycle when u transform it into a gun u can move the front wheel backwards folding it slightly into the back of the bike locking it slightly in place
i went to target last sunday and there were so many transformers and i saw transformers war for cybertron optimus prime but i couldn't buy anything...p.s.you are the best transformers reviewer on the internet.p.s.s.I'm still your biggest fan!
What the hell? I can never find a Human Alliance Barricade or Human Alliance Mudflap, not in Target, not in Toys R Us, not in Walmart, and now this to look for but never find? Damnit! Nice figure though :D
His unvisored face reminds me of Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show! and he's showing up at most Targets. I got mine a week ago on Walmart.com but he was sold out last I checked.
@MetalPheonix I have had no issues with big panel lines when converting my HA figures to vehicle and that goes for Jazz to. I will say that they can be fiddly sometimes to get everything lined up right but as long as it is lined up right you should have no problem. Assuming no QC issues
I don't know if it's possible, but I'd definitely turn around the lower arm so the windows are on the inside and the huge metallic looking pieces are on the outside like forearm armour.
Did u get the HFTD version of HA Bumblebee? The 1 where Sam has on the white shirt. If so, what r the difference between HFTD version & the ROTF version?
One of my problems with the HA is that getting them back into vehicle mode leaves panel lines a little too large. (I only have Bumblebee and Barricade.) Is Jazz like this? I ask because he looks easier to transform than Barricade or the Twins.
@liles65 yes, that would be possible. they wouldn't know where exactly he would be. however, the decepticons found megatron in part 2 without knowing his exact position.
Hey Peaugh, I have been a long time watcher, and I just wanted to say because of you I had to buy this figure. I wanted to point out one thing tough. The side panels that are to make up his teighs, u said made his knees look skiny. Well if you flip out the gun barels in his shin guards and leave them out when u fold back up the shin pieces it actualy fills in his knee cap area. Just thought Id let you know that. OK well keep up the awesome work man.
hey bro...great review and its one awesome alliance figure, probably the best at the moment with barricade and skids... i got my jazz takara ver.. with dark visor and clear windows and windscreen... its really a cool fig.
@Niimphy That's Battle Blades Bumble Bee from the hunt for the decepticons line. Also a very cool figure with lots of neat extras. Peaugh has a review of him.
question: would you recommend getting human alliance versions of jazz and bumblebee to go with a voyager ratchet, leader ironhdie and leader prime? my concern was I didn't want smaller robots( bumblebee and jazz) to be bigger than the bigger robots( ratchet, prime and ironhide). I realize human alliance are better quality than a regular deluxe, but they do cost more. I want my collection to be close to movie scale in robot mode. help, anybody??
@dismantle123 thanks, but I might order the deluxe movie version of Jazz off ebay sometime in the near future - heck most of the Transformers in my collection are from the first two live-action films
Is this Jazz a lot bigger than the movie deluxe version? or is it slightly bigger but not too big. I would hate for Jazz to be taller than Deluxe Ratchet and Ironhide...
@MajesticStarAndrew But Jazz got revived by Ratchet in the first movie. It doesn't show it, but if you go to Hasbro.com, it says that he was revived with a piece of the allspark.
Ah, Human Alliance, the true successor of Alternators. See what they can do when they have a pre-rendered source? I have a couple of these, 'Bee and Barricade, and I really like them. The major drawback of this line is, of course, the human interaction gimmicks. Still, these are mostly really good figures. I'll be looking for Jazz.
I love how the vehicle is almost seamless
Awesome pose at the end with Jazz doing a handstand...which is awesome because it is something one would expect Jazz to do....
FYI, Deluxe Landmine from the first movie toys can stand upside down on one hand, if properly posed. It's awesome. Wish more or these toys could do that.
I agree 100%, not only is this an amazing H.A. Figure, But by far the absolute best jazz figure ever by a long shot. Super solid in both forms. One of my new favs!!!!
Peaugh, the best tags you've had. Period.
Jazz Could be the first human alliance figure im genuinely interested in..
Been waiting for this guy since I saw the first images. Found him tonight at Walmart.
Holy crap is he awesome.
great review Peaugh. I just did a Jazz week on my channel myself. Ended it with this guy, because I love this dude. If you get a minute check it out. Keep the reviews up, man, you are the best.
This is the figure I've been waiting for this whole year. The search begins!
excellent review.
I have never cared about human alliance figures and this Jazz didn't change that at all.
This is like Masterpiece Movie Jazz! Excellent figure!
My Target did a clean up last weekend too. The week before, all we had were 4 Tuner Mudflaps and a Mudflap. Next weekend, BAM! WFC, Generations, and HFTD, as far as the eye could see.
8:20 ah yes my favorite game, Angry Pigs
The tags on this video are the best thing since sliced bread. Great review, Peaugh, and thanks for the heads up on Target, I finally found wave one of Generations.

the scale in alt mode, the transformation, the look of the figure in robot mode, everything about this figure is great! i was really excited when i heard about this figure, and im glad it turned out so well

angry pigs? lol! thanks for taking jazz out of the pedestal! now i can't let it go
Lennox looks like Kevin Butler here. Kevin Butler, he only does...EVERYTHING!
Nice review. JAZZ is my favorite of all TF characters. I had the white & blue version when i was like 9yrs old so i was so excited when this 1 was released. So excited that i brought 2 of them. 1 to play with & 1 to keep, never 2 take out the pack.
jazz to moonbase 2, jazz to moonbase 2, we got a situation out here!
I just recently got this figure, and it has to be one of my favorite figures of all time! This is my only real gripe, though: while I am absolutely ecstatic about his beautiful silver paint job, you have to be careful with his transformation, as this paint scratches relatively easily.
Peaugh, I think you've just sold me my first Human Alliance figure... that was actually surprisingly cool.
He looks surprisingly good !
And it Bay didn't get the idea from the G1 series, he was chosen to direct the next installment in a long running franchise, and chose characters from G1 that older people who saw the cartoon/comic as a kid could be like
"Hey! I remember that dude!"
wow this figure looks...AWESOME!! usually i only buy legends class and deluxe but aside from my altenators shockwave..this is defanetly a must buy!!
human alliance figures are made really well, I'm hoping to get this and sound wave, and maybe some of the smaller HA figures
Wow, this figure looks really nice. I definitely have to pick him up at some point.
Hey peaugh thanks for the target tip got my Jazz today at target thanks to you! in ohio for those that are curious!
Oh yes, I went to Target on Sunday looking for Drift and they had 2 of these there.
In the end I found Drift on the highest peg in the very back of the Generations.
Is he awesome? You betcha.
@liles65
in the movie comics, jazz was put into a container
and dropped into the ocean, so they do know where
his body is.
Got my HA Jazz and leader class Starscream yesterday at Target.
Nice... I think I'll be going to Target in the morning.
I saw him at Target yesterday!!! too!!!
I got this figure today! I am a fan of the human alliance line! :)
i dont know if you noticed this but on the motorcycle when u transform it into a gun u can move the front wheel backwards folding it slightly into the back of the bike locking it slightly in place
i went to target last sunday and there were so many transformers and i saw transformers war for cybertron optimus prime but i couldn't buy anything...p.s.you are the best transformers reviewer on the internet.p.s.s.I'm still your biggest fan!
"I don't care much for humans". Wow, what a thing to say.
The Japanese version I have has clear NON blue windows which is a nice difference. Awesome review yet again.
What the hell? I can never find a Human Alliance Barricade or Human Alliance Mudflap, not in Target, not in Toys R Us, not in Walmart, and now this to look for but never find? Damnit!
Nice figure though :D
His unvisored face reminds me of Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show!
and he's showing up at most Targets. I got mine a week ago on Walmart.com but he was sold out last I checked.
i cant wait to see peaugh get a hold of either the hasbro or tomy version of eleta-1
I wish the WHOLE movie line was like this.
nice, this is definatly a must have!
3:42 sounds alien talking.lol
great figure!
What's the name of Bumblebee fig that Peaugh did a size comparison with Jazz in the vid?
A. Levitar the bumble bee is the battle blades
Finally, a legit Jazz...its about time.
@MetalPheonix I have had no issues with big panel lines when converting my HA figures to vehicle and that goes for Jazz to. I will say that they can be fiddly sometimes to get everything lined up right but as long as it is lined up right you should have no problem. Assuming no QC issues
I am at my dads house and right near a target, must go today!
Best TF reviewer on the internet.
"Human, meh." *toss*
XD
I don't know if it's possible, but I'd definitely turn around the lower arm so the windows are on the inside and the huge metallic looking pieces are on the outside like forearm armour.
Did u get the HFTD version of HA Bumblebee? The 1 where Sam has on the white shirt. If so, what r the difference between HFTD version & the ROTF version?

it definitely is the best version of movie Jazz they have made. the deluxe just seemed so bulky compared to his onscreen self.
Best tags ever.
@liles65
yes, that would be possible. they wouldn't know
where exactly he would be. however, the decepticons
found megatron in part 2 without knowing his exact position.
HA Jazz looks pretty damn sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
Hope I see this at AA.
haha, his Torso does look like a Mechanical Pig from Angry Birds on the iPhone game
Hey Peaugh, I have been a long time watcher, and I just wanted to say because of you I had to buy this figure. I wanted to point out one thing tough. The side panels that are to make up his teighs, u said made his knees look skiny.

OK well keep up the awesome work man.
Target should give you kickbacks Peaugh-
you're a great spokesmen
I want this figure so bad I cant find him anywhere. I waited to long now there all gone.
:(
got mine today and buy far one of the best ha figs yet
Wow! I actually got a Transformer before Peaugh got it!
Superb review, finally a good Jazz movie figure.
hey bro...great review and its one awesome alliance figure, probably the best at the moment with barricade and skids... i got my jazz takara ver.. with dark visor and clear windows and windscreen... its really a cool fig.

I am forever gonna think Angry Birds now! Thanks! LOL
@dismantle123 thanks, but I might order the deluxe movie version of Jazz off ebay sometime in the near future - heck most of the Transformers in my collection are from the first two live-action films
Best Tags Ever!
@Odracir32 Thanks it does help ill go check there soon!
Is this Jazz a lot bigger than the movie deluxe version? or is it slightly bigger but not too big.
I would hate for Jazz to be taller than Deluxe Ratchet and Ironhide...
@Aparrott1994 wat? how does ratchet get help from jolt to fix him or does he come back as blaster?
@GranTurismo360
no, thats non-canon. he is dead and therefore not in the second and third movie.
that target is a transformers heaven
what happened to human alliance mudflap? never saw him in stores. is he still comming out?
Do you know where I can get a hold of this figure? I know it's an old figure.
Ebay
@MajesticStarAndrew But Jazz got revived by Ratchet in the first movie. It doesn't show it, but if you go to Hasbro.com, it says that he was revived with a piece of the allspark.
peaugh, there's a "TF:ROTF deluxe Jazz". do u have him? could you have a comparison of Deluxe & Human Alliance?
@peaugh ok thanks do you know were else I can find it?
Can anyone tell me what Type/version of Bumblebee is that at 12:42 ? Thanks
How did you get him to stand on his hands, that is awesome.
yeah i just picked up a bunch of figures at my target but they had no human alliance
@peaugh i finally found himat my target. Jazz Sold out quickly lol. Does your stores have the human alliance Mudflap and Barricade?
I like your idea
Could be the 1st HA figure I am getting.
Peaugh, will you be making a short video for your BB-BB mods?
waht stores can you find the war for cybertron figues based off the game
Wow this is a awesome review! Two question: How many did it cost? Were did you find it?
@peaugh i dont wanna be rude but some of us arnt american, btw AWSOME REVIEW! also, should i get this guy or hunt for the desepticons drift?
what type of bumblebee is that? I never seen it before!
@peaugh could you please send me a pic of the vehicle mode compared to the HA bumblebee vehiclre mode
Thanks
Ah, Human Alliance, the true successor of Alternators. See what they can do when they have a pre-rendered source? I have a couple of these, 'Bee and Barricade, and I really like them. The major drawback of this line is, of course, the human interaction gimmicks. Still, these are mostly really good figures. I'll be looking for Jazz.
Were are the human alliances? leader class or voyager?
I wonder what's next on the HA docket. They're running out of sports cars... is it too much to hope for an HA Skids/Mudflap Ice Cream Truck?
How does he compare to the other human alliance figures?
Is H/A Jazz bigger or the same size as H/A Bumblebee?
I think you mean pigs from Angry Birds. Love that game.
do they still sell these in stores
kickin rad figure, just got him today. i appreciate the figure comparisons, but why didnt you show him off with HA bumblebee or ROTF prime?
hey guys! where can i look for this here in philippines?
