Via ToyWiz, we can share for you new stock images the new Transformers: Cyberverse Power Of The Spark 1-Step Changer Jazz.
We have a look at this simple but fun 1-Step version of Jazz which comes with a “Dual Boom Blast” gimmick. We hope this means we may finally see Jazz in the new Cyberverse cartoon any time soon. This figure will be released in an upcoming wave together with unchanged re-releases of 1-Step Changer Megatron, Bumblebee and Hot Rod in the new “Power of the Spark” packaging design.

No I'm saying Brawn doesn't matter and deserves to be neglected.
WishfulThinking
Exactly! The G1 Autobot cars One-Steps are really hitting me in the 8-year-old feels. Many of us in 1985 third-grade would have been storming the stores to try to find auto-transforming Prowl, Jazz, Wheeljack and Bumblebees.

It's all good. I did double check and while the RTS head looks better, that head crest thingy was different than it looked in the cartoon. I still prefer my United Jazz for the time being.
Shepard Prime
Yeah. Had a brainfart there, my bad.
AnnoyedRobot
You mean the RTS Jazz?
Fenrys
are you saying brawn isnt neglected?
MrNiceGuy
He had a much larger role in the movie series than Jazz, and even got to be G1 style in Bumblebee where Jazz was also neglected (in favor of brawn? wtf)

Underutilized characters without an update? gestures angrily towards signature
ANYWAY, I think this guy actually looks pretty fun. I've been sort of caving in and buying the more G1-ish Cyberverse One-Steps lately and for what they are, I'm totally digging it. I can't say I wouldn't have loved that automatically-transforming Wheeljack as a kid, and while the Hot Rod one looks…eh in robot mode, I bought him just because I love Roddy and he's still a pretty fun toy.

I’m still waiting for an updated Vroom and Doubleheader.

Yeah, well 5 years is pretty long wait for someone just getting back into Transformers. Anyway, I'm still waiting for a proper Dino, and a mainline Starsaber and Deathsaurus.
Fenrys
he's honestly no more neglected than ironhide or cliffjumper or any number of characters that don't pop up in every single series. so what if his g1 version was primes 2nd in command? ironhide was basically primes body guard and one of his closest friends he hasnt shown up in a toon since animated where he was a redneck bully
MrNiceGuy
The point is for a guy that was supposed to be second-in-command/one of Prime's closest friends he's pretty neglected. Most of his recent roles are bit parts, cameos or just plain cannon fodder. I'd say the last fiction to give Jazz his due was Fall of Cybertron and that was 5 years ago.
Fenrys
yea, id begrudgingly get one haha, but i doubt thatll happen. universe cheetor didnt get repainted into tigatron and neither has the mp (not saying they should because based on show appearance tigatron should be bigger) so who knows. all hes gotten since 96 is 3 botcon toys (two of which are crappy representations of the character), a japanese reissue and a device label figure and maybe one of those old chibi non transforming figurine things
WishfulThinking
And Universe 1.0 AND 2.0, WST, Alternators, generations, Fall of Cybertron, World Smallest Transformers, Botshots…
But there is a shot for Tigatron via Cyberverse…
Fenrys
you want truly neglected characters, where is my updated tigatron? jazz has held a role in g1, animated, rid15, the movies and idw comics and has gotten figures in g1, g2, animated, rid, the movie lines, the movie masterpiece line, reveal the shield, power of the primes and rid15. he is far from ignored or neglected
Evan Wellens
Before that Rid figure Jazz hadn't gotten a new figure for 5 years. Movie Jazz hadn't gotten a new one since 2009. Now we're getting new figures for both styles of the guy.

Looks like quite a retool. It seems to work the same internally up to the gimmick, but all the external details were changed, except the wheels maybe.View attachment 28401919

I forgot about that since Jazz didn’t survive that movie…
Regardless, just because G1 did something, doesn’t mean ALL continuities have to do it.
Fenrys
and there was only one show between animated and rid15 plus if we are including all fiction he was fairly prominent at times during the original idw continuity

Er, Movie-wise, OP himself says it at 1:20:
