Add-on, or freebie? New head on a freebie? Not likely.

From what I was hinted at, Slicer will be the Freebie, so this should be an add-on figure. Again, only going from my source.

I'm diggin' this guy too. New head really works here. Also, Slicer? You mean SG Wheeljack don't you? One way or the other I'll have two, since my girl's getting the figs too. Well, basically I'm getting them. Heh.

Are you sure it's a new head? Rapido's head was already pretty close to Universe Prowl's that it didn't really need any modifications.

Bah!! G2 Slicer, SG Wheeljack. I'll call him Don Johnson and be done with it. I do think he's SG WJ because of the molded faction symbol, but I've been told Slicer. Ya know...if ya do want to get rid of the xtra...

It's easy to remove the molded , look at Cybertron Jetfire and Overhaul. You know, they could play it as Slicer under the guise of SG Wheeljack...

Yeah, it's a new head mold.
ACTOYS pic is much bigger.

I LOVE IT!
Really really tempted to get this guy now.

Then they would need ANOTHER new head sculpt, and maybe different missile launchers.

And aren't we forgetting Shattered Glass Jazz from 2007? Just a couple reprolabels and you're done.

This = FAIL.
I'm not a big fan of this mold, and Jazz needs a different mold than Prowl, Streak etc. I've seen some decent customs, but Jazz needs a better mold than this, and SG Jazz isn't the answer either, IMHO.
Come on Generations Jazz!

i.e. as a Souvenir Set. Me may even be the Attendee freebie, though rumor has it that Slicer (an E-Downshift repaint) will be the freebie.

But this won't be in it. It would have to be an extra add-on that you buy separately...just saying.

I think Hasbro knows how important Jazz is to the franchise. I think that they will release him sooner or later. I know if I was Has/Tak, I wouldn't want to release every fan favorite off the bat. Gotta give us something to look forward to down the line. Give it time. He'll be out.

I feel the same. With Generations being considered an ongoing line by hasbro and not just a filler, chances are a lot of good characters will get revisited.
