G1 1984 Jazz toy review! All that Jazz! Jazz comparisons with United, Reveal the Shield, and 86 Studio Series.

 Thank you to Heath, my brother from another mother in Washington state. This is an exclusive quick look and review on the original Jazz mold. 

1984 Jazz G1 style! Robot and alt mode

G1 Jazz, die-cast and all. This is a 2nd hand figure plus he was very loose, stickers peeling and all, but I'm not really complaining and this guy is the original Jazz of all Jazzes. You can start to see some yellowing behind his legs otherwise the paint everywhere else is still a decent finish. His alt mode looks fantastic and easy to transform. It took the 86 studio series line to match that and it pales simply because that line is missing decals and some paint. This is 84 where you had heavy plastic (metal), decals, and metallic finish guns and missiles. Speaking of missiles, the launcher came broken so I couldn't attach it on his shoulder. On the last pic in this category, I just had it sitting on his right shoulder. The spring works well though... a little too well. 

Because this is 84 Jazz, he doesn't do much posing. I remember them as blocky toys that, well, was Transformers back in the day and that was it. 

All that Jazz

Take your pic. I included United Stepper in this pic simply because he was the same mold as RTS and United Jazz (Meister). The United Jazz paint job is still amazing after all these years. I really disliked how Hasbro used a pre-yellow paint job on the RTS version though. 

Conclusion:

I'm going to leave it here. If anything, this was more of a comparison of the Jazz figures I owned. It was nice to see how this all started. 84 Jazz really looks impressive for his time and you can still see the influence he gave to his future self figures. Thank you Heath once again and I'll see you folks later.

Toy Review: War for Cybertron Earthrise WFC- E11 Optimus Prime Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise Leader WFC-E11 Optimus Prime Action Figure

 

You give an inch, they will take miles. Just say no!

Hello folks, I am back with an exclusive review thanks to my TF buddy Brandon (Aka Transfan84/Darkonen). Without delay, let's get started.

Boxing

Not included in this packaging was the matrix of leadership but that's ok because I used 86 Hot Rod's one as the placeholder. I don't do the mapping locations once again. 

Standing tall

Comes with a blaster that looks like a cross up between his G1 rifle and a canon. It can be folded in half which isn't shown here. I actually didn't like this blaster too much so I kept it away for most of the review. His chest cavity opens so you can pop the matrix inside which I will showcase later. Prime looks great here though I feel his eyes are too small or like some sites said, its a blue head with blue eyes. In other words, an overlapping of blue. His wheels behind his back does look a little funky as well. Something up with Prime's back in most versions I kid you not. I will get into this someday when I compare him with other classic Prime models. One cool thing is that his fingers can open so you could display him handling the matrix or adjust the way you want to hold things with him. 

W/Custom blaster (courtesy Darkonen once again)

The 1st pic reminds me of those animated commercial breaks back in 84. You can also peel the back part of his trailer to use as a shield. 

I wish I had a stand for this

The Autobot leader can do a myriad of poses. The blaster supplied by Darkonen works wonders here and increased Prime's awesomeness tenfold. 

Roll out!

Fairly easy to transform. I feel as if Optimus Prime was always one of those figures that was easy to transform no matter which iteration. Optimus has that "fake chest" syndrome that 86 Hot Rod and the ER Battlechargers had. However, it's his grill that is hiding behind his chest for this transformation. His gun actually can go below his trailer but the extra accessory Darkonen supplied can peg into any 5mm ports here as well. Nonnef has some upgrades to help spice up this mode. Not to mention, Roller is missing in this version which NN shells out.

The trailer expanded

His artillery robot is grey here instead of blue as you seen on the back of the box. It was then I discovered you had to buy the Drone weaponizer pack to get his rifle, roller and a few other goodies Prime possessed in the G1 series. Way to milk the fans out of more money, Hasbro. Prime needs a twin barreled canon like how Kingdom Rodimus Prime has, seriously. 

Huffer Prime

You are a true friend, Huffer

The stock blaster and the 86 Matrix.

Megatron is telling Prime, "Did you know that both of us were sent by Darkonen so that we could lead our factions respectively?" The 86 Matrix fits nicely and I attempted to use the stock blaster again. I hated it seriously. I just stuck it in his back for the remainder of this review.

Hot Rod and Optimus.

I tried to do the 30th anniversary pose (1st pic in this category) but Prime can't hold the matrix chest level thanks to his chest sticking out a little too much preventing him from bending his arms entirely. I stuck with what I could get. Oh well. Don't mind the dirty wall in the background. 

The 84 ark crew updated.

Conclusion:

This is ER Prime in the flesh. Overall, I like him. It is one of the better designs of Prime that is also closer to his G1 form. Besides his difficult to see eyes, OP handled very delightfully and he definitely fits in with the remaining WFC cast displayed above. Anyhow, later folks. Get him if you can, he probably costs a fortune now. 

Can you see my eyes now?
