Any idea if Jazz will get MP treatment?

[Badgertron]

Yeah, of course they're going to do Jazz He's probably next, actually, for the cars, unless they wanted to do Ironhide or something.

Don't forget that in Revenge of the Fallen, Sideways was also an Audi R8. Lockdown in TF4 was a Lamborghini Aventador. Audi is also owned by VW group.

So I think the deal was being worked on for a long time.

Hell Porsches are pretty much squashed and elongated VW Beetles anyway. Patience, that's all we need guys.

While there is no proof, they do have access to the licence through Volkswagen. Which also opens the door for a Cliffjumper remold.

However, by those standards we also have the options of Sunstreaker (Lamborghini licence is still active), Trailbreaker, Hoist, Brawn, Outback,and Downshift (all Toyota products, official licence in place from FJ Prime)

Nothing concrete to date; everything that has been posted on this thread is pure speculation.

Obviously hope for the best; but be prepared for no announcement of mp jazz in 2015.

Odds are Ironhide and Ratchet will come before Jazz. Either way, I'm buying!!

There are three variants of the Jazz mold: G1, G2 and Stepper. There is even a gold lucky draw/limited edition Diaclone variant. We will see a MP Jazz sooner or later

I hope they don't reuse Wheeljack mold for Sunstreaker. It deserves a new mold. There are Diaclone variants that TakaraTomy can reuse the mold: "red" and police cruiser. In fact, e-Hobby reused the G1 Sunstreaker mold to reissue the police crusier variant under the TF branding.

Im curious as to why we havent gotten any teasers from Takara for the next MP. Hell, Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee were announced more than a year away.....were's our "new" MP announcements. Am i being impatient? The next one is a decepticon leader tho, that much we know.

Coincidentally, certain popular autobot characters from prime (who were also part of the original G1 cast) got Mp's. That being Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus. I wonder if the popularity from the show helps Mp choices. Pure speculation, but fun to think about.

[Darth Cylon]

No idea. No need to speculate.

Jazz is pretty important on the roaster in almost all Transformers materal, how Wheeljack got before him, heck how Sideswipe/Red Alert got before him is beyond me. Then again how we haven't had Sunstreaker yet makes no sense other then the fact Japan doesn't seem to give a crap about him as they do Red Alert.

it is up to the lead designer and they always keep changing them
