If you needed a friend for your Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins Bumblebee, how about the just revealed Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins JAZZ!?!? Hasbro just revealed this deluxe class figure during a Transformers Team roundtable with various Transformers fansites like Seibertron.com. At the end of the Q&A, Hasbro showed off a big surprise in the form of Origins Jazz in his hovercar mode from the first episode of the animated Transformers G1 cartoon episode (More Than Meets The Eye - Part 1). Included below are a bunch of screen captures from the Roundtable from earlier today.

In addition to Jazz finally having his unique and iconic hovercar mode from the first episode from almost 40 years ago, Jazz also includes his grappling hook accessory which can be mounted to ports on the opposite side of his hands when you flip them around, or it can be mounted to the end of his blaster. Unfortunately, there is not a string to attach the grappling hook, but I'm sure some fishing line or something comparable would do the trick nicely.

The Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee product line can be found exclusively at Target stores in the US.

You can stream the first episode Transformers More Than Meets The Eye on YouTube.

Now that UFO Bumblebee has a friend, one has to wonder what else Hasbro has in the pipeworks and whether or not any of the other Transformers from that episode who had iconic Cybertronian modes will get this treatment.

Official images of this new product are expected to be available soon. In the meantime ... enjoy these screen captures of this exciting new reveal!

Awesome! This is a definite buy! So glad they're releasing these origin figures. Hopefully, they'll continue to bring us more. Wheeljack would be a great addition!

Does that mean they'll be giving the tetra jets another go? There's also wheeljack to do correct?

Wheeljack could be an easy retool from that Jazz, or follow the same engineering.

As for the Tetrajets, I can only see a remold of the Siege ones, but with smooth surfaces and a clean paint scheme.

So during the Q&A did anyone ask about the "Sandwich" style packaging and why Earthspark toys weren't on shelves during the holiday season or was it all about the new shiny that Hasbro presented?

I hope that grappling hook gets a little paint on the hook blades.

I loved Origin Bee so much, I'm thrilled for this. I was also planning to eventually unload most of the Siege bots that I bought again in Earthrise, but now I feel like my Cybertronian collection might grow further.

Very nice unexpected surprise. Truthfully, I didn't even remember that he had a Cybertronian mode. Just Bee and Wheeljack. The figure seems somewhat simple, but I'm still glad it got made. It'll be an in-hand decision.

Read on another site that Jazz will be available in April 2023... does anyone know if that's the case?

It would be nice to get a Wheeljack and another go at the tetrajets. Soundwave (lamppost) wouldn't really be that exciting, but having a Cybertronian Laserbeak in this line would be cool.

Following on from the recent reveal of Origin Jazz, we have official product shots of this out-of-nowhere figure! Jazz looks faithful to his appearance in the very first episode of the G1 cartoon 'More Than Meets the Eye' which first aired nearly forty years ago. This is an all new mold, and will be coming out in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line of Generations. Origin Jazz should be released in April, and hopefully, this is an indicator that we'll get more Cybertronian altmodes in this sub-sub-line.

Thundercracker is the first ever character on screen. The first Autobot is Prowl. For the commercial for the comic book.

Welp, that's gonna be mine! Been trying to decide on a Jazz for my shelf, and I think this'll be it, at least until my ideal Jazz comes out. Either way, Origins Jazz looks awesome, hope we see Origins Wheeljack

SS86 didn't do it for you? Supposedly that's as close as we'll get to MP.

THIS is what I was waiting for from Siege! Going to try and snatch this guy as soon as I can. I REALLY hope we get an Origins Wheeljack next!

Outside of the issues of clear plastic (heard it was a when, not if on that mold), ideally I'd want a Jazz that has the option of door wings or no door wings like that one 3P figure. It's probably never going to happen in CHUG scale, but I'm fine waiting indefinitely :lol:

Understandable. And I have yet to even open mine...is the clear plastic problem that bad?

As for the new figure, by the looks of the packaging, it'll be on the smaller side, like Bee was. Jazz should be taller than Bee.

That Jazz figure looks like a lot of fun! And he looks good! I love my origins Bee, so i will gladly take this guy to go with him.

I mean, he was good, but I would hardly call him the best. And this puts a whole new spin on it thanks to the cybertronian alt.

This is what Siege should have been.

As someone who does not care about Jazz whatsoever I LOVE how he looks! Precious as heck. Hopefully his backpack isnt too hefty and i can snag him onsale for $12/15 bucks like I did with Origins Bee

Posted by SpaceEagle on February 6th, 2023 @ 6:34pm CST

I think this looks fantastic, I only really got the Jackpot retool of SS86 Jazz along with the Knock-Out retool and while I did like that mold, I didn't get the Jazz one (Not sure why.)
I really dig the Cybertronian looks so I'm glad we're still getting some post-Siege.

Oddly this robot mode looks like a better Jazz than the SS86 version. I'd like to see this retooled into another Earth mode Jazz, I'm crazy, I know.

No, more variety is always better. While I don't think this new Jazz looks better than SS86, it does the job of giving us a good representation. Just like with Bee, the alt mode was the main focus while the robot mode was designed to fit the alt mode.

Do we know yet if you've are being released in single packs? Target has had several Buzzworthy multipacks to date.

I'm still surprised they released the rainmakers but not the welcoming comitee. Love Jazz, hope we also get Wheeljack. With him and the missing seekers, all onscreen Cybertronian alt modes would be done, since we got Soundwave and Laserbeak during Siege.

I honestly didn't think they'd go down this route again, as it appeared as id Origins Bee didn't perform all that well before finally selling out. I'm glad to see they went ahead with Origins jazz because he looks great! I'll definitely get him if he's as easy to acquire as the recent 4-pk with Goldbug.

One thing that did always bother me was that his front end still resembled a Porsche despite being an Alien from another world and having a completely different alt mode while on Cybertron. lol

Hope this subline continues with Wheeljack next!

well if you're familiar with the theory that the WW2 Germans were in contact with aliens then Jazz having a Porsche look might not be all that surprising :lol:

or do Porsches have a Jazz look 8-}

Looking forward to the Wheeljack if/when they do him and maybe the Trailbreaker from the Ghostbusters comic!?!?

Given that he's the same size as SS86 Jazz, he's a deluxe.

While I also want Wheeljack, the quickest retool of this Jazz mold is Bluestreak, from "And There Shall Come...A Leader"

Ideally they should remold the chest, but only a new head would be absolutely necessary.

No, I thnik Jazz will be a solid case since he isn't SS or SS86, just liike Orignis Bee, Silverstreak and Toy Terrorsaur. Remember all the previous SS Buzzworthy deluxes were either a mixed case of individual deluxes or the vs 2 packs. I think the SS Buzzworthy wave will be Hatchet, 86 Hound and NEST Ratchet with one of them being shortpacked.

This sounds accurate, though there's also the rumor/theory/speculation that Hound is part of the upcoming two pack.

Being that Jazz is a larger bot than Bee my guess would be yes to a proper Deluxe Bot, that said he did look somewhat small in the photo where he's being held in someone's hand.

Awww, yeah, I've been hoping for an Origins Jazz ever since Origins 'Bee! I'm for sure buying the shizzlesnit out of this guy! When they've done all of the G1 Episode 1 characters maybe they can take another crack at the Dreamwave War Within designs.
