Thanks to the generosity of board member MachineHeart88, we treated to a fresh batch of new images of the upcoming Autobot Jazz figure form the movie Studio Series line. Being the sole Autobot that met his untimely demise at the hands of Megatron in the first live action movie in 2007, Jazz is given new life in this brand new movie toy line 10+ years later in 2018. From these detailed images (with an image showing some of the inner workings of the figure), we can this is a redesigned figure with an unique transformation as well as improved proportion and articulation from the deluxe figure in the first movie toy line. Check out the images after the break, and let us know if you will be adding this to your movie toys collection.

Bingpot! That did it. Op, you're a "Major" in my book.

Glad to help, as I had the same problem. I originally found the solution in one of Emgo’s video reviews, and also saw it in Jazz’s review here:
I don’t think it was mentioned in the instructions, so thankfully the internet came to the rescue.

I can't get the bottom half of the doors to stay clipped in in vehicle mode. What am I doing wrong?

Not to be that guy, but…you forgot to split Megatron's feet open.
Well, Jazz did get his spine ripped in half, I guess. I'm pretty sure that that could've caused his death. Or just bled out before anything could be done.

Yup, I would accept something like that.

I just worry that they’ll sacrifice his awesome movie design to make him more G1 based, so I made a digibash concept that made somewhat of compromise between G1 and Movie with an alt mode of an Alfa Romeo 4C.

Look at it this way, if Bumblebee ends up being the reboot we’re all hoping for, it means we can get Jazz and all the other awesome characters we’ve lost back.

Because Michael Bay wanted him out of the way. I believe in the original script, Megatron ate Jazz’s spark, but that was left out of the final cut. Eleven years later and I’m still furious he killed off the Autobot with one of the coolest designs in the entire franchise.

Are you plugging in the lower torso into the car roof well? If not, that could be the problem, so try plugging it in correctly. If not, it’s a defect that may be common.

I'm having hard time pegging in alt mode … anyone having the same problem ? Is there any fix or mod?

Hahahahahaha! Sorry, but I'm glad I'm not alone.
