Via TonTon Review on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Studio Series SS 86-01 Jazz.
This is one of the most expected figures in the new Studio Series 86 line. This new mold bring a correct cartoon accurate robot mode, featuring no door/wings in the back and a great head sculpt. Car mode is highly inspired by the original Porsche 935 Turbo but with some small changes like extra details over the car and a 14 number on each door. This figure shows a simple but fun transformation with an acceptable backpack. As we can see from the images, it scales really well with other War For Cybertron figures. We are sure many collectors will be really pleased with this modern incarnation of Jazz.

I cant either. I was just going to say, based upon the release of DOTM Soundwave, there is no excuse for Que.
Not even on the trademark side of the argument. Releasing him in the same line where the "Bumblebee movie Wheeljack" doesn't create a problem as "Mirage" was still released under "Dino"
"Wheeljack" can easily be released under "Que"
To restate the obvious anyway.
I don't know what the hold up is either. Now "Hatchet"…that thing might be an engineering nightmare. But all this is a conversation for the movieverse Studio series thread.

Then i can't for the life of me figure out what the delay is?

There's no need to fudge Que's alt mode, as they have the Mercedes license, unlike Ferrari's

I wouldnt be happy but would accept a dark repaint of the TLK Scorn. Fudge Ques alt mode if they have to so he gets made. It was fine with Dino. Release Ironhide. Slug Strafe…..Still PLENTY of live action to do but im one of the people getting sick of SS 86.

I kind of have to agree. While I am loving the new G1 Dinobots, my hope was to have seen Slug, Strafe and Scorn before hand.
Maybe they will consider it once the AOE 10 Year anniversary approaches? they are running out of characters to do which would be why
they are fazing out the movieverse in place of 86 and Rise of the beasts. the transition makes sense. I had just hoped to see DOTM Que and Hatchet before they finished up.

I know this comment is from last November but someone ended up liking one my comments that I left on here so I explored the thread a little. Just wanna say, if you want to see genuine frustration, go talk to the live action movie fans who are STILL waiting for Hasbro, who has worked diligently to get the G1 Dinobots complete since G1 was shoehorned into Studio Series BARELY a year ago, to do another Bayformer Dinobot (Hint: It’s been four years since AOE Grimlock was released).

All 6 Seekers were released during Earthrise, but only *one* was a standard retail figure.
Skywarp/Cracker, Thrust/Dirge, and Ramjet were retailer exclusives.

same. And I’m not kidding about wanting more Dinobots. I’m on a major Dinosaur kick and therefore a major Dinobot kick.
I would love for them to check off a few more of the Dinosaur sub-groups. In this case Pachycephalosauria, Ankylosauria, and Hadrosauria (Preferably Parasaurolophus).
Obsidian X
Yes. An official Paddles retooled from the coming Sludge would most likely make me cry.

SNARL FOR THE WIN!! He got shafted with the 10 seconds he appeared and nowhere else in the movie. He's part of the Dinobots. Why, WHY did he not make the cut?! But seriously, if Hasbro doesn't do him, there's gonna be a LOT of rage from people I feel.
And darn it, that Hot Rod variant better not just be some stupid recolor. Waste of a slot. Make him a Targetmaster and release variants of Kup and Blurr as such
Preposterous
I really wouldn't want SS to delve into "more color accurate" nonsense. It's excusable with Scourge/Sweeps; Optimuses and Bumblebees from different movies also made some sense, but releasing Hot Rod in a slightly different shade a year later would be a huge waste, especially with how valuable voyager slots currently are in SS.

Man. I miss Botbots so much.
