BotCon Jazz and Grimlock Revealed!

I really find this set very unappealing.

Jazz does look good though. But the mold. One version of it is enough for me. To frustrating to transform

Ohh and Grimlock: Can you say Trypticon!.

The only one that looks cool so far is Jazz.

*sighs* that Jazz repaint would look so great next to my Cybertron Smokescreen... It sucks livin in NZ!! Miss out on all the good stuff

Trypticon Grimlock is pretty bad ass looking. Jazz just looks fantastic with the paint job and new head sculpt. Spot on fellas!!

That Jazz just wins... Massacre Racing... I'm lovin' it!

Jazz = GOOD
Grimlock = MEH.

Maybe I can snag a couple figures from this set off eBay without paying too much.

Yeah agreed Looks great with that Jazz head mold though.. I have the Smokescreen repaint. Something of a disappointment.

YES!!!! I have finally been credited for something news worthy. Beat you to it GetterDragun . Like I said in my first post Jazz is awesome and will look fantastic in my collection. Grimlock will probably never leave robot mode though. Also if you look at the front wheel arch on Jazz it says "Kill to win".

Lovin' jazz's head

Grimy.. blargh, they could have done better...

Edit: isnt that the grimlock that was on ebay some time ago?

Me like Grimlock.
I like trypticon colors.
As for Jazz...
I love his new head mold...
but his car mold is strange, I don't know why but I just don't like it
and his robot mode is kibbly, fat and short
Though i do like Massacre Racing
not as good as Till All Are Gone but eh
Strange, everyone else loves Jazz but dislike Grimlock

but in order of what I like to what i find meh
1. Grimlock
2. Goldbug
3. Prime
4. Starscream
5. Jazz

Are they also making Decepticons?
I'd love to see some
I wish they used more classics molds
the seeker mold is awesome... though overpainted
too bad Classics prowl wasn't remolded... then Jazz would've been at number 1

The only one I ever saw that looked remotely like this one was the black and purple prototype for the original toy.

O_o...Trypticon? Really?

I must admit...Jazz is made of pure win. He rocks hard.

You know after hearing Trypticon being mentioned, Grimlock is starting to grow on me. He does resemble Trypticon. I still think the best so far in the set is Goldbug but I am liking the set and glad I faxed my Iacon order in on the first day.

Trypticon Grimlock, and a almost normal looking Jazz?

This set has been rather lacklustre.

Jazz is very humanoid looking.
More human than Animated jazz.
like a guy with a video and a car on his chest.
I wish his colors were more evil.
Though what would his color scheme be if it was more evil?
Dead End like in the cartoon?
Well, I do like his roof shield and the gun.
His head is so awesome though...
too bad he's evil.
He could've had a smirk. Why does Jazz always have that really depressed looking face? He's so happy.
Is this set really called the Shattered Glass set?
There's only one figure that has shattered glass.
Grimlock doesn't even have windows. : P

LOL, good luck with that.

Too much for Botcon exclusives that is. People don’t seem to be too thrilled with this set so I could might see a Goldbug or Prime going for thirty, forty maybe.

Jazz looks cool but I know like the repaints from last year I will never be seeing it

Grimlock?

Thats just a lame repaint

Jazz is awesome! one big meh at the others. That thing is not even close to Goldbug.

I'll be the first to say it, I think jazz looks the worst out of the set so far. I just don't like the proportions in bot mode on that mold, although I will concede the alt mode was executed nicely. And I think his face is a bit overdone; like someone said, too humanoid. I actually like how grimlock and the other looks, although I don't think they're good enough to justify the price. Are there going to be any more bad autobots? Or is it time to wait for the good decepticons?

Jazz looks pretty good, but overall I'm glad I skipped this year's boxset. I'll put that money toward the MP-04 that's coming out next month.

Jazz looks great except for the "angry eyebows" above the headlights. He will probably be my Classics Jazz until the release a Jazz in Universe.

I'd like to see more purple on Grimlock. He just seems kind of dull with all that grey. Other than that, he's quite nice. All that's left now is the minicon Razorclaw, the official pics of Starscream, and whatever attendee figures there are, like Megatron.

Say no more..

The only thing that looks good on Jazz (to me) is the head sculpt.
I was never a fan of that body style because the chest is too out of proportion.

As I said before, I am glad I am not worried about getting this set.

not impressed never really liked the Cybertron Crosswise mold and I dont like those colors on Grimlock

Agreed. This Jazz looks very good, but it didn't fit too well with Smokescreen. The head and general design just didn't match the character. I was expecting more(I have a small collection of Smokescreen figures going), but it's kind of pushed aside with the other TFs I'm not all that eager to display.

The Grimlock, as most people have stated, is rather "meh", but I think it just goes to show you how average that figure is in the 1st place. But I do like the Classics Grimlock better than this.

I like them both. I wish they would have done something different with jazz though. 3 versions of the same car crosswise, smokescreen and jazz. All in all though they look pretty cool.

Not bad I like Jazz and grimmy looks like tripticon

I love how the black on the front makes his headlights look like angry eyes.

The repaint color looks more like tripticon.

I'm mostly enjoying the puns with all of these. "Massacre Racing." *giggle* As for Grimlock.... he's staying in is alt mode the entire time. I find the T-Rex mode to be quite entertaining.

Well, maybe at Easter time he can come out in his robot mode. The pastels will look quite nice with the rest of the decour.

I'd pass on Jazz, but I LOVE Tryptilock. Cover the Bot logos with Con logos, and Trypticon gets a nice modern figure. Shame he's not a general release.

This is a set full of interesting figures at this point.

It's good thus far, the Convention exclusives are going to be the tipping point as to if this becomes a great set.

This set will be rare as hell and will fetch crazy secondary market prices. Bet on it.

Jazz looks better of the two but I think I will pass on these figures. If I found them on the secondary market, I would not be able to afford them.

That Jazz looks great. And he looks Classics compatible too.

Pretty "meh" to me.
They look good for what they ARE but they aren't terribly appealing overall. I think I'm much more looking forward to seeing the "good guy" Decepticons...

I gotta get this set now, or at least Jazz. As for Grimlock, he Grimlock no like cosplaying as Trypticon

JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grimlock is lackluster. Don't like those colors at all.
I am digging Jazz though. What mold is that? New?

OHMIGOD
Jazz is totally awesome, gotta have it
I can skip grimy

Jazz is the best looking BOTCON 2008 toy so far, expect some salers getting rich at eBay with him

purple autobot logos on autobots?

As a fan I appreciates the effort that has been put into this set. But it doesn't have the absolute must have factor that the Games of Deception set had. I'm glad I picked up last years Botcon set and I'm glad I'm passing on this years' set.

I have to admitted you are right... this year's toys are not as 2007 at all, just because of Jazz, that changes the whole story, for some people like me, even when Cybertron Crosswise was a cool car, I feel he did not have the style that now I can see on Botcon Jazz

It's from Galaxy Force...can't remember the name though...

dragons wrote:purple autobot logos on autobots?

The autobots are the bad guys remember, so they have a purple autobot symbol and the cons have a red decepticon symbol because they are the good guys.


From what we have seen so far I think I like Goldbug the best, Followed by Jazz. Grimlock is nice too but he will stay in Beast mode just like his Classics version.

jazz is cool. grimlock is just a repaint of himself.

Nice attempt at the evil Grimlock, I'm not completely sold on it however... Can't wait til animated Grimmy though.

Its Cybertron Crosswise. The head sculpt is new though.

Well, I'd buy a Tryptilock!

YAY!
