Toy Fair 2010: Transformers Human Alliance Jazz w / Captain Lennox UPDATE

Getting that without a doubt. Man, the HA line is really bringing out some great figures, though I must say I was surprised they brought back Jazz to partner with Lennox rather than just make another Ironhide, but I'm definitely not complaining. Now if we could only get some more Decepticons, maybe Bonecrusher or Blackout/Grindor (these guys really need better figures and a size upgrade)?

Wow Can't believe they're bringing out Jazz! Looks so good.

Hell yeah Jazz!

Hm, now that I think about it, how are they going to do his bio? Will they say that he was rebuilt? He's also going to be a really big figure compared to most of the bots that were bigger than him previously considering that he was the smallest Autobot around.

im really surprised
the new ratchet repaint is intresting wish they got a new weapon for voyager ratchet instead of making a deluxe to recover their mistake besides the point
looks like lennox and jazz have a partner in this HA could it be finally ELITA-1 i sure hope it is now all the other human alliances we need are
jolt and Leo (really need leo)
rampage and sams parents (can have parents
and either a ratchet or ironhide or someone that can hold 4 to 6 figures or more (really really need
note all the HA have been of deluxe so i think thats y ironhide isnt in place of jazz

Hmm, I'm suprised by Jazz, although I guess the release of Barricade shows that they aren't restricting it to ROTF characters.

However, given the fact that Lennox "drive" Ironhide home at the end of the first movie, I would have thought they'd make a better pair.

That being said, I wonder if Ironhide and Ratchet's size would be a reason for them to be excluded? Larger figures cost more to make, I would imagine, and the Topkick and Hummer would have to be a bit larger to fit into the same scale. Think Prime's Alternators Mold: I heard it wasn't always meant to be Prime, but they did it to be sure that the mold would sell.

Jazz's face looks odd (though I may not be looking at it right). Gold(?) around the eyes and some black piece over his mouth?

I wonder if the bike transforms. It looks silver/grey.

GOSH!! So wanna hv it!!

I'm pretty sure the bike represents the motorcycle he grabbed to kill Blackout...

According to another story the bike becomes a weapon of some kind.

And while the knees look a little flimsy, overall this totally ROCKS!

BTW - I want a G1 repaint like the Deluxe got. And I want it YESTERDAY.

Im sorry, but I dont like it. It looks too blocky for a movie toy. I like it and will definately get it, but I was expectng somthing way more accurate.

That is looking pretty amazing, I'm not too keen on the other HA figures except Barricade, and a new figure for Jazz is always welcome, he got so little attention.

The motorcycle turns into a wepon that reminds me of the wepon that came with the deluxe Jazz. The one that looked shielded or satellite in appearance.

Oh man. So far I have managed to not buy the ha figures, but now theu come out with Jazz. I might be forced to buy him. Then the flood gates will be opened...

I thought the same away, AVOID, then I purchased Skids,..... been downhill from there lol

I was always looking to buy TFTM Jazz.. With this though Deftinely getting the HA version.. the ALT mode itself should be very awesome.

Jazz looks incredible. I'm just absolutely stunned by the level of detail and intracacy on that guy. Wow.

As for his weapon becoming a vehicle for Lennox, brilliant. I did not see that one coming. Dang.

Hasbro has won me over here.

Jazz is pretty awesome, and I didn't see it coming. Interesting for sure.

Ugh- were Lennox and Jazz even in a single scene together? Offroad Ironhide's bio even said that Lennox and Ironhide became buddies, w/ Lennox taking Hide out for offroading and stuff-blowing-up, and Hide taking care of Lennox's family while he's away. Perfect setup for a Ha fig. Maybe a new, larger Ironhide mold wasn't workable.

Jazz himself is meh, too chunky and blocky. Lennox is way too small, a curse among all the HA human figs to ate exc. for Frenxy, who is too large.

That said, it's still a great line and I'll probably get this one too. The size and detail are too good to resist, even if actual accuracy suffers.

YES!!! This is sweet!! So far, Human Alliance Barricade and HA Jazz will be the only HA figures I'll buy. Hope they come out with other cool figures.

Added one more video with Human Alliance Jazz ...

Ironhide would make more sense... and I don't care about 'scale'. Gimme HA 'Hide with Lennox.

Is it just me or does it look like Lennox is made using GI Joe tooling instead of the same tooling Sam and the other figures have used?

I rather find it amusing, people knocking the figure for inaccuracies, or being too blocky. Does anyone actually remember the deluxe? Perspective, people.
I'll agree with the people that think Ironhide would have made more sense for Lennox's partner, but I look at it this way: Hasbro found a way to get a much needed human figure (if human figures is your thing) and a robot in desperate need of an upgrade out in one package, and the addition of a motorcycle that becomes Jazz's crescent cannon, I'm sold.
Also, judging by the official product pictures Hasbro has shown, it appears as though HA Jazz will come with his trademark visor, either permanently affixed, and left off for the display model, or retractable/removable. I'd call that an all around win.

The visor is retractable. If you look closely at the shots of his head, you can see a line where the head splits open and the visor either slides down into place, or unfolds.

So, he has his visor, his normal face, his awesome robot mode, his kick ass weapon, and Lennox. H.A. Jazz is all around win.

This Jazz HA looks totally awsome he looks better than the 07 version of him his more intricate...gotta have it!

I hated Jazz in the first movie. However, I've really enjoyed all the HA figures so far. Based on that, he's got to be at least decent to me. I look forward to seeing more pics.

Jazz looks like he could be the best human alliance figure so far. I'll definately be putting him on this years or next years to get list.
