![]() Is this figure worth your time? I would say yes. For the purposes of this figure, that's a good thing since the "shrinkage" of the Deluxe scale has been the subject of much chatter among fans. In essence, I would say Jazz is more in scale with previous Generations figures than Optimus Prime. However, I realized after doing some figure comparisons to other Deluxe figures from previous years that if they had shrunk Jazz any more, he would have basically been a Commander/Scout Class figure. In terms of scale, Jazz's robot mode winds up being a bit bigger than Optimus Prime's, which surprised me quite a bit. ![]() At the same time, it is worth noting that to some, this Jazz will have a lot less "bang for your buck" than Special Ops Jazz did. However, like my "Fall of Cybertron" Optimus Prime review, my goal here is to review this figure on its own merits, not by comparing it entirely to previous releases. Made in what were literally different economic times and with homages to G1 Jazz in mind, that sculpt was more complicated and had more accessories than this one. The last significant release of the Autobot Jazz character was his Reveal the Shield incarnation. I hope to see a time when the size of figures in this class increase again (but I'm not holding my breath). The reality is that this is a reflection of the current economic climate around the world. ![]() The Deluxe Class figures of this line are notably smaller than their counterparts from previous years and the price point has gone up, averaging $12.99-14.99 depending on where you go instead of the more traditional $9-12.99. This particular wave of "Generations" figures also marks a significant change in the "Transformers" toy line. Though he was part of the "War for Cybertron" universe, this is the first time Autobot Jazz is being made into an action figure based on his appearance in the video game. Following up on the success of "War for Cybertron", High Moon Studios was due to release "Fall of Cybertron" in August of 2012 so a large portion of the "Generations" toy line became dedicated to characters and designs from the game itself. Ages 5 and up.Ģ012's big "Transformers" multimedia event was not a movie, but rather a video game.

And the latest instalment certainly delivers on needless destruction and world-class stupidity. But then, smashing stuff up was always the point of the metal-for-brains Transformers series, the dumbest and noisiest of all the billion-dollar movie franchises. You could argue that any film that requires this much leaden exposition to nail down its plot points really shouldn’t be trusted with heavy machinery. We know all this because every 10 minutes or so, the imbecilic bombast of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts grinds to a halt so that one or more of the characters can explain the story to us. A new subspecies of Transformer – the part-animal, part-robot Maximals – joins forces with Optimus Prime and his Autobots to fight against a ruthless foe, the Terrorcons, who are in the service of Unicron, a planet-munching monster deity.
