Jazz: The Cool And Stylish Autobot
Can’t get enough of the Transformers? Here’s one character from the Autobots that is definitely entertaining to watch. Kids, ladies and gentlemen of all ages… here’s Jazz!
Jazz is the very cool, very stylish, very competent and aggressively-knowledgeable member of the Autobots in the Transformers television and comic series based on the popular toy line produced by Takara and Hasbro. His original vehicle mode is a Martini Porsche 935 Turbo racing car. Jazz is self-confident, calm, and completely composed. He was assigned as the head of Special Operations along with his personal committed troop of agents. He frequently gives the most treacherous assignments to himself. Why? He’s just really the coolest head for the toughest tasks.
Jazz’s coolness expands to any environment he finds himself in, no matter how peculiar or astonishing. Jazz naturally tunes in to the local traditions, understanding and improvising, and making innovative command decisions, making him an essential right-hand bot to Optimus Prime.
Here are more details about Jazz from Wikipedia.com:
Jazz stayed as one of the more popular and well-remembered characters from the original series. Because of problems with trade-marking the name Jazz, some latest releases of Jazz were called Autobot Jazz.
Jazz was among the Autobots who followed Optimus Prime on his mission on board the Ark. They were attacked by Megatron’s ship, the Nemesis, and crash landed on Earth, where all on board were preserved in emergency stasis. Four million years later, in 1984, a volcanic eruption awakened the Ark’s computer, Teletran-I, and it revamped all on board. It reformatted Jazz in the form of an Earth race car.
In the episode “The God Gambit” Cosmos collected data in space on a potential new power source, but was attacked by Astrotrain, Thrust and Starscream. Crashing on the Saturn’s moon Titan, the local priests worshiped the Decepticons as “Sky Gods”, but rebels were able to reactivate Cosmos and call for aid from the Autobots. Optimus Prime sent Omega Supreme along with Perceptor and Jazz. Astrotrain set himself up as the chief god of the moon and forced the natives to gather energy crystals. The trip to Titan sapped Omega of most of his energy, but Perceptor and Jazz were able to collect sufficient crystals to reactivate Omega and defeat the three Decepticons. Making sure not to let the Autobots get the crystals, Astrotrain had set up a chain reaction which later destroyed them. The Autobots helped the natives to escape the explosion and helped them settle in another area of the moon.
