Is Jazz's Porsche mode on the way out?

[Hellboy]

Now that Volkswagen has bought the remainder of Porsche will we see Jazz becoming some lame American car like with Bumblebee?

[Hobbyist Prime]

As much as it sucks it's a strong possibility given VW's stance on keeping away from anything "war" related.

They could try and say he based off something like the Ruf Rt 12R, maybe...

[shabooya]

Really?
Think they can degrade him any further than the baysformers solstice version?

Well, this does cause problems for any Masterpiece Meister that might come along. I don't think TakaraTomy would like to fudge the alt mode of such an iconic character. They'd sooner just not make one.

I am all for a fully licensed 911 GT3 Masterpiece Jazz.

We've already got Lamborghini. At least that's a step in the right direction.

Like most of the G1 pieces (ie prime was a freightliner cabover now a peterbuilt conventional) instead of using the latest model they are changing to different MFG. as far a nostaliga I personally think this sucks, Jazz will always be a porsche, bee a bug, prime a cabover etc...

[Tekkamanraiden]

I'm sure Hasbro\Takara would be able to work out some sort of licensing agreement.

I thought that Volkswagon was concerned because that specific brand had questionable ties through history; the Porsche does not, does it?

I thought that VW owned another brand as well that was still being made into Transformers very recently?
