Oddly enough I find it less distracting in person than I did in the pictures. But either way, it's clearly down to her having to be a combiner limb, hence her vehicle mode needing to have a specific amount of bulk. And the designers being fixated on what constitutes "feminine"...

Woah, woah, woah, woah, WOAH.
Sounds like I've opened more Pottop than most round these parts. All mine are out bar the little dudes and Inferno.
I'm regretting not getting that five pound Jazz now. Reckon he'd look good on inferno as an arm with prowl on the other side.

I just like the idea of using some of the characters who aren't special teams members or the one offs to make a combiner that has a uniform look. Inferno might work with white arms, but he needs red or black legs. Elita-1 would work with Jazz and Prowl too.

Oh no. He looks a bit shit. Doesn't he...? There is a reason why he was knocked down to a fiver. Not as good a toy as the RTS one, but has a combiner peg. |

I think the POTP Jazz is vastly superior to RTS Jazz. Alas, I can't buy it because of the MAGA thing. I hope for a recolour and/or reuse of the mould.

The version that ships in wave 3, the Terrorcon wave, has had the offending deco removed.

Also you can Reprolabel over it, or remove it with nail varnish, or scrape it off. Many options exist!

Huh. I have this Jazz (and yes it is a superb Jazz), I must have missed the entire MAGA debate. It's 'Make America Great Again', Trump's slogan, isn' it?

Yep. Someone 'cunning' at Hasbro wrote it on Jazz in 'Cybertronian'. Suffice to say neither Hasbro nor many fans were impressed when they realised.

I just can't justify buying anything when I know it contains a racist element. I will not give them a penny for it. I understand it was not Hasbro's intent nor do I criticise anyone who has bought one and removed the offending mark (as I have seen folk do). This is entirely a personal decision. I just can't buy it. For me, other Jazz toys are available. I shall wait for the inevitable recolour of this mould. -Ralph |

A: I can't tell from a shelf whether a Jazz is the original run or the reissued one.
B: The size of the mark is irrelvant. It being small does not diminish the racism it represents.

A) are the Terrorcons with it? If so, it's the redone one.

I only have one Terrorcon. Which kinda makes me sadder than I imagine I'd be if I had none.
