It’s concept art time! Following up on the Sideswipe design he posted on his own blog, Emiliano Santalucia has uploaded three new concept art images of the Aligned continuity Jazz design. As with the Sideswipe artwork from last time, this piece of work is for a concept he did when working with Hasbro to develop a Transformers production and character bible for Hasbro, more than likely the master document detailing Hasbro’s Aligned Continuity project which comprises Transformers Prime, the Transformers War for Cybertron video games, and the Exodus novels series.
Check out the images and the brief write up by clicking this link right here.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Sharkticons, and water would be a nice new environment
After rewatching the first few episodes of season two again, the 86 movie hint and faux Optimus in place of the real one should mean Ultra Magnus is set to join the cast Jazz, Ultra Magnus and Sideswipe would make me very happy, though I would really like to see at least one Autobot flier come on board.

DAMN! Now, I wasn't a fan of his Aligned Sideswipe, but Jazz looks GREAT!

You and me both. I love the Prime design style and would like to see Jazz done that way.

Crossing fingers for Jazz in season 3 of Transformers Prime.
Cybertronian
I think that was kind of the idea. He looks like a cross between G1 and Movie (1) Jazz, for better or for worse.

^But see, that is a TFP-styled Jazz; Emiliano's isn't. His Jazz, Sideswipe (and is that his Optimus in the bible too?) is more just an "overall amalgamation of G1, Bayformers and an individual style". It's not meant to be "Jazz if he was in TFP".
In fact, while Emiliano's Jazz is awesome, I don't really think it fits into the overall TFP style, which is fine, because it's not meant to.

Awesome design. Wish Jazz can appear in PRIME.

Take away the wings and blaster and we have a winner.

I still don't really get this whole aligned continuity thing (I mean, I know what it is (for the most part), but it seems kinda pointless to me), but I have to say, this Jazz design looks awesome. I didn't think too highly about the Sideswipe we got to see (it was Sideswipe, right? I don't remember very well. I don't really care, either), but this one is great.

This looks great to me. Im digging this. Love the overall style and the fists. I'd by a toy version of this in a heartbeat and so would most of you.

I prefer this: Jazz TF Prime by *Raikoh-illust on deviantART
Optimatron
No.
It looks like the bastard child of G1, Bayformers, and Prime. Or in the simplest terms…horrible.

Need a mold of this one – now.

Dear TFW: When I click on the thumbnail of a news story, I expect to go straight to the image, not into the news story itself. That's what clicking on the title is get. Get it together.

I like it alot and Im a G-1 nut! Although the arms seem a bit monkeyish to me, draw him just as he is and a little less popeye, and he would be perfect.

not fond of this design, but i do appreciate how you took your time to interact with the community, emiliano.
Transformed
They said a couple on each side The only hinted they dropped was the '86 animated movie, and that could mean anyone really…including Wheelie

If Jazz ever makes it into TF Prime, I would be one of the happiest people in the world. Enough said.
