Our own Shinobi Rendar has found possibly finalized versions of the upcoming childrens books being released along side the upcoming Transformers Movie. The covers also give us a good look at the Transformers Movie version of Jazz with and without his visor down.

Front pages Shinobi. Thanks for finding these.

I must say Jazz looks the best out of all the bots. With his visor down he's definitely just a more stylish version of his original self. Bravo to the designer of that one.

Jazz looks cool. Not as good as baricade but he looks like a TF. I dont like the squid hands though.

Jazz is frikkin sweeet!

From far it looks like Jazz has a mouth, but he really doesn't - it's those little "vents" that create the illusion of one straight line going from one cheek to another. If you look at the mugshot on his card and the pics there, you can see it better. See attached.

Ratchet looks much better now too. He looks more bulky in that upper-body shot than the old sketch we saw where he looked kinda thin... I still don't understand why his toy is neon green when it's so clear that he's more of a yellow/orange tone in "real life".

Barricade looks gorgeous as usual.

HORRID! Might as well say "meet the evil alien predators!"

I really hope we get an explanation for the different looks of the Bots and Cons during the movie. The Bots look more 'normal' than the Cons.

Don't they look different because the Cons are more modern?

Yeah, I'll echo the notion that they all look too much like predator monsters. I don't think you can relate to their "human" side like this. Not drawing me into the line.

I really like the look of Jazz with the visor and what looks to be lips. Mind you, Skowls probably right. Probably just the vents. Megatron still looks like he eats innocent woodland animals.

Jazz looks scary without his visor down.

I have the feeling that in the next movie most of the bots and cons will have diffrent faces that look more human. That way the humans can relate to them more. How can "megatron" hope to take over the earth if he cant get a few hums to trust him?

Jazz looks pretty bad ass, and they still have the old meg's head on there

I doubt any little kids will buy these books. They all look too scary and evil. "Jazz" looks like Freddy Kruger with squids where his hands should be, "Megatron" looks like he'll eat your soul and your neigbors, and Ratchet looks like that flea from Inuyasha on steroids. Optimus is the only decent looking one, but he will still scare a few kids. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most kids will look at this stuff and walk straight to the Power Ranger books.

I was kinda hoping that jazzes visor would go over his whole face. But i can see a little kid seeing megatron then going mommy i think i just crapped my self its so sary it even has eye brows EVIL eyebrows.

I think that was just the lighting that made the Empire cover look like that. It's always been the same Prime design, horrible flames and all.

Nice to see some new movie stuff, this has been one ssssslllllooooowwwww news week for new TF stuff...

I think Optimus and Megatron look pretty good.
But they don't look like Optimus and Megatron.

((I'm going to buy these books anyway, 'cause I'm a loser. :D))

This year's Oscar goes to Megatron for best acting. "Tell us Megatron, how did you pull off such a great acting performance?"

Megatron- "Well it all started, when Bay decided to give me a human looking face instead of a face from the movie Aliens. I think at that point I realized 'Hey, I'm not a scary monster after all'. The actors and audience began taking me more seriously. My life really changed around."

Ah-ah! I knew that Dinobot was related to Megatron! Dino has Daddy Megatron's mouth! Or maybe, Dinobot made out with a pop can and this is the result...
