Transformers LEGACY Evolution Deluxe Class ORIGIN JAZZ Buzzworthy Bumblebee Review 

They gotta give us a cybertronion wheeljack at this point

Him having the earth mode chest wasn’t an animation error, it was intentional. They didn’t have the budget to produce a whole other robot mode design for him, especially since they weren’t gonna make a toy out of it back then.

He's a cool figure (despite his flaws), shame that he was regulated to being an exclusive, like what happened with Legacy Override and Cosmos, which is a shame since both Origin Jazz, Cosmos and Override were newly tooled figures.

This figure looks awesome! One of my dreams as a kid come true... Very much like the Siege line, since the first time I saw Transformers back in the 80s, my dream was to have Cybertronian modes toys, and here we are, almost 40 years later, Hasbro is making that dream a reality... This figure is a must for me!

Jazz was my favorite character as a kid, so very interested in this guy

I think *maybe* the odd hand peg design is to prevent suction. With the figures with big blocky hands, such as Bulkhead, I’ve had issues with the weapons being sorta vacuumed into the hands.

Origins Wheeljack should be a Voyager class so Bumblebee can fit inside

I will pick him up as soon as I lay my eyes upon him. Despite the transparent plastic bit, it is a really nice looking figure. We do need a Wheeljack now. The disappointment of not getting one would linger for years.

Wanna bet cybertronian tetrajets that leave Siege Starscream in the dust are coming too, with a dozen repaints? Also, origins Dinobots based on their DW vehicle modes would be awesome

Hasbro: you want a piece of me? You want a piece of me!? Me: No, I’ll have 2!

This is a fun looking figure! Will be great for those that missed out on the SS version. The silhouette actually looks better here than there, but that's only because he has a fake chest and the SS one uses the car parts throughout the robot.

He’s starting to show up Target stores here in the US ahead of Pulses release date of 4/10

Funny thing is, this being his cybertronian form, clear windows weren't really necessary so they could have skipped the clear plastic part. He also looks like a vehicle James Bond would be proud to drive.

As annoying as that transparent plastic joint is, the way that Autobot insignia flips into place as you move it back is SO FUCKIN' COOL!!! Brings me back to the good ol' days of abundant automorphing...

I hope one day we get a Cybertronian wheeljack

Jazz is my fav autobot so naturally I must have every single version they release. Can’t wait to grab this guy

Yeah...an Origin Wheeljack would probably need a Voyager's budget & parts count to make the vehicle mode work (he's literally a van), the robot mode still somewhat resemble the Earthrise/Netflix/Kingdom figure (considerable panel folding), and the transformation not suck. Hopefully the nearest Target gets this in soon...

Jazz and that clear plastic is like the Madden curse of being on the cover😩

Optimus Prime: Any luck Jazz? Jazz: Negative, the north side of Cybertron's blacker than the inside of a drive shaft.

Got mine delivered Friday morning. He's awesome, I love the way the front just compresses in during transformation for the alt mode.

BROOOO HE LOOKS SOOOO GOOD

This was certainly a treat to see pop up today! I've been dying to see and compare the engineering between the hasbro offering and the one I designed a while back. Nearly a perfect figure but I couldn't get past the arms and robot chest sticking so far out in vehicle mode, felt a bit rushed. Still a great figure for a mainline release. I'll be waiting for their wheeljack to once again compare against mine. I'm sure PVP will be the place to land him first!

Fantastic review PrimeVsPrime!!! I really hope we get Origins Wheeljack, since he is the last of only seven Transformers G1 characters who were shown transforming into both Cybertron and Earth alt modes, the others are Thundercracker, Skywarp, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Bumblebee, and of course Jazz. :D Keep on being amazing.

I’m glad you got your vacuum man

As soon as you said your problem with him i said to myself: "Yup we knew" Still a good figure even if its a tad less worse in the back

6:17 I have that seige poster as my laptop background

nice part about Transformers Legacy Evolution Deluxe Class Origin Jazz to Compare with Cybertronian Wheeljack

Awesome review as always. Spot on on the hinges, hopefully holds over time. Can’t wait to get this 👍

I’m getting this guy

Everybody is missing out on the triangle seekers. That's what they need to give us a flawless transformation though no gaps no weird triangles an actual triangle

Great review. I've been looking forward to Cybertronian Jazz since the release of origins Bumblebee. He does not disappoint! I hope Hasbro will consider giving fans a War Within Jazz at a larger scale and with more advanced engineering.

Both Hasbro and Takara love to use clear plastic/tabs, but it's Takara who uses them more than Hasbro (when Takara retools any of Hasbro's molds, they'll usually always mold it in clear plastic).

I think the keyhole carve out is meant to reduce pressure on the entire hand, reducing the rigidity. If not, it could also be a feature to stabilize an accessory that will be made available later, possibly to all of the toyline. My guess.

I got this Jazz today. Thanks for your review.

Decades of wild imaginings finally manifest in your hands! Great review and transformation (& reverse-transformation), my good bro! Pity about that transparent canopy, the bane of many a TF toy cursed with a short lifespan. It's almost placed there as if to (eventually) 'shatter' the dream that took a long time coming... Stay awesome 👌 👏 👍

As a child of the before times (pre-internet), the idea of putting something with the verbiage 'Transformers Legacy Evolution Buzzworthy Bumblebee Deluxe Class Origin Autobot Jazz' on a Christmas present list for my parents is quite funny.

Thanks so much. I had Jazz stuck in his alt mode for a while now. Unfortunately, I had no Ironhide to kick him but, I had this video. Thanks.

Since we have a transformer boombox and a transformer microscope, I'm so glad that we now have a transformer dustbuster.

Thanks for this review! This guy is really awesome. Can't wait to pick him up. It REALLY sucks that we all have to go to Target and just pray we can pick him up one day, or else get extorted on eBay. I wish Hasbro wouldn't do this crap to us. It really ruins most of the goodwill they get from finally putting out such highly sought after figure. Oh well. Good luck, everyone! :)

Great review as always mate.

Jazz, my favorite characters ever

He has the same flip hands as Inferno and I noticed Pointblanks Targetmaster partner has a peg at the back that could be used to fit in those ports… maybe we’ll see a Ricochet/Stepper with this mold?

I'll get this guy. I have always preferred the Cybertronian modes to the Earth modes. Back in '84 when Transformers first hit the figures I wanted the most were Skywarp, Thundercracker, Starscream & Wheeljack in their Cybertronian modes. And when the '86 movie hit the figure I wanted most was Arcee. I had to wait forever to finally get them.

We think Origin Jazz is sooo awesomely good, we would love to add him to our collection, but I doubt we will be able to source him (as with a few others from last year, eg Crasher and Shadowstrip), so will have to do without him. Will hold out with fingers crossed for a Studio Series +/Gamer Edition of Jazz.

Thank you for showing a simple way of transforming it...and yes, I hope one of wheeljack will be issued.

having gotten my hands on Jazz myself today, I have to say I'm not a fan of the slight clearance issue the doors have when folding in and out of the legs. just one more millimeter is needed to not flex that connection and I've had the door panels pop off because of that.

This will be the next addition to my collection

I really would like to see a Cybertron Starscream in the future, or even a Legacy Evolution Goldfire. And the Cybertron Origins Jazz looks like a dodgem

Wow. It's already out...crazy. So glad I pre-ordered! Looks amazing!

I love this line of figures. I wasn’t able to pre-order Origins Jazz from Hasbro. Eventually, I was able to pre-order him from Target.

Ive been waiting on Jazz since 1984. Wheeljack is next!!

Awesome review! I agree what you said!😊👍

Can’t wait for this release !

I pre ordered this guy the other day, him and Bee (hopefully Wheeljack at some point) are some of the very few figures that I’ll be displaying in their alt modes.

Got my Jazz pre-ordered. Come on Wheeljack!!!

I’m going shopping right now to see that figure!

Totally Need Wheeljack and the Seekers and Soundwave to go with

It just looks so damn good

The annoying thing is, where I live, I've only ever seen one buzzworthy bumblebee toy, that being a pack of 4 bots from one of those children shows

Flash forward fifty years when Hasbro is selling medical supplies and they give me a wheelchair made of clear plastic.

i really hate the packaging on these new hasbro toys... that jazz looking sexy tho XD

Definitely going to try and pick this up missed out on the bumblebee one in the uk

This is great. Will be on the look out for Jazz. I know some 3rd party mfgs have done the Seeker Tetrajets.. but, would love to see Hasbro/Takara make their versions of the Tetrajets.. I mean we need some bad guys chasing cybertronian Jazz and Bumblebee (and eventually Wheeljack), right? I imagine some 3rd part can make 3D printed replacement hands so they can work with that grappling hook on SS Jazz.

Wow! I like a new origin autobot jazz figure.😎

Can you leave the Grappling hook in the chest in robot mode? As a sort of Grapping Hook of Leadership?

I’m debating buying but the top of the fat being on clear plastic is a concern to me since a lot of SS figures have clear plastic cracks

Im actually planning on getting this figure along side skullgrin and dragstrip

Very cool video primevsprime

Can you leave the grapple hook inside the chest area, to store it?

I pre-ordered him from Target 🎯 and I can’t wait to get him and then Wheeljack will be awesome.

AWESOME REVIEW! I GOT TO GET HIM!!!

I have always thought Cybertronian mode Bee, looks like a stingray :D

ok i know what figure im gettin next, this looks pretty

I love primevsprime he is awesome

very clean vehicle mode he has

Recently in 2023 we get Jazz in his Cybertronian mode, but never is to late He looks so awesome! This is going in my TF Wishlist

Does anyone know where PvsP got those explosion plastics? They look great for displays.

I remember seeing the original autobots in their home planet 🌎 when they were in their vehicle modes. They didn’t have wheels like earth vehicles. They concerted into machines that floated over the ground similar to the (Star Wars) Luke’s landspeeder. I would like to see Optimus prime as a cargo vehicle that also floats over the ground like it where a shuttle /mid sized craft/vessel. The one in this video looks very much as an earth truck. It’s great to see jazz and bumblebee in their first vehicle forms from the 1984 cartoon show.

Damn I love these Cybertronian modes

I'm 49 and never thought we'd see these forms, I'm excited for this guy.

I was about to start painting up a Siege Prowl into a Jazz the moment this was revealed by Hasbro. Siege Jazz rest in peace

Picked up two from star action figures so I'm glad I won't have to transform him Nice review by the way

Just picked this up a target he's cool

The single piece of translucent plastic is absolutely a cost cutting measure. There's no size limitation keeping them from casting it in multiple pieces, they're just cheap. This has been an issue as far back as 2011 or so when they started to simplify figures because "they were too complicated for young children", while also upping the retail prices "due to rising oil costs". Then the Prime Wars trilogy line happened and they doubled down on both simplifying figures further AND upping costs, even though oil prices had gone down. After three full lines, people finally called them out on the overly simplistic figures with outdated engineering and some of the cheapest plastic we've ever seen and they started to up their game with WFC as far as engineering went but still couldn't resist the urge to scrimp and save on every figure. It's why we see so many more hollowed out single-cast parts compared to the old CHUGs, as well as a lot of painted solid color plastic windows and large translucent plastic pieces painted solid colors. Hasbro is cheap. Figures like Blitzwing where they try to cover everything and make the figures actually look solid are the exception but I so wish they were the rule. It's why so many CHUG figures are still held in such a high regard despite many being somewhat outdated. They just felt so much more solid and complete compared to modern TF figures.

Ready for a yellow repaint for an Only Fools And Horses crossover!

I don’t plan on getting the figure, but it’s quite neat!

Just got this Jazz. He is buzzworthy. Best proportions and look. Best figures for Jazz in my opinion as long as the clear plastic stays strong.

Can you swap the heads with jazz and wheeljack to make this semi work as a cybertronian wheeljack

Oh, is that Rise of The Beasts Mirage? Haha! JK

Omg Jazz looks like Manscape shaver!!!!

I got the him a couple of days ago and I have to say he is a great figure but I have to agree with the transformation of the windshield. I have to mush stress that its going to shatter. I also feel that the side panel tabs are going to go as well but I gonna risk it. Overall a solid 8/10

Must-have figure!

BEAUTIFUL FIGUREE!!!

I knew you were doing this.

Love it 👍

Hmm, that alt mode could totally be modded into a Thunderbird 4. The shape is identical, just 3D print the hydro-booters, fin and front scoop Maybe a new chest too.

Well, considering that Origins Bumblebee was a MASSIVE shelf warmer, maybe you should have checked a Target store instead of a Walmart one.

Hope this one goes the route of the origins bumblebee(an awesome little figure) and they become so overstocked that a few months after it's released I can pick him up for $10 the same way I bought buzzworthy origins bumblebee.

Just got mine, waiting to be unboxed with rumble, legacy dirge, legacy nemesis Leo and generations selects combat megatron

They really have to add forearm covers for these prices.. Also, it would have been nice if they did the doors in such a way that they can span out like wings in bot mode as an option..
