sigh, i've been rather sian-ed the death of jazz in transformers, being ripped apart by megatron. jazz is one of my favourite characters since i was young and is 'very cool, very stylish, very competent'. how much i agree with that.

well, at least he died heroically, refusing to submit or surrender.

jazz: you want a piece of me megatron?
megatron: no, i want two!

BUT, i saw something that lifted my mood considerably. i saw an article that claimed of a possible transformers sequel, in which jazz will be rebuilt as a tougher frame, and several modifications. plus, the new jazz toy released has the following description:

during the long process of being rebuilt by AUTOBOT RATCHET, there was a lot of time to think. AUTOBOT JAZZ digs his earth vehicle form, but the silver paint job had always left something to be desired. it got scratched too easily, for one thing, and dust stuck to it like cyberflies on old oil. also, it wasn't nearly eye-catching enough. just because he's supposed to be in disguise doesn't mean he can't be noticed. with help from BUMBLEBEE and AUTOBOT RATCHET, he picked this color scheme as the one most likely to get him appreciative looks from all the humans he passes on the freeway."

classic jazz i say, wisecracking and cool and totally into his looks. plus, it hints of a possible return for jazz.

anyway i'm betting that the sequel, should there be one, will be about unicron. now think transformers 2, think the planet sized unicron, think jazz rebuilt. now jump for joy. *whee*
