Jazz (TFA)


 * Jazz is an Autobot in the Transformers Animated continuity. [[Image:Jazzanimated.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger?]]

Though a member of the Cybertron Elite Guard, Jazz is a bit of an independent thinker. He's reluctant to disobey orders, but he has more of an appreciation for the finer things than his compatriots. This is evidenced in his better choice of vehicle mode disguise, a "sweet ride" drawn from Earth culture. He is also a Robo-Ninja, like Prowl, although his training is more progressed. He seems to be the only one of the Elite Guard willing to learn, and fits in with the Earth team pretty well. "Maaaan, that was some funky colored blinking lights show. What'd you call that again?"

"...traffic lights?"

"Traffic lights. Solid."

Jazz accompanied Supreme Commander Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Prime to Earth to retrieve Optimus Prime's crew and the AllSpark. When Magnus ordered Jazz to activate a force field around their ship to prevent organic contamination, Jazz expressed interest in getting a closer look at them. This caused Sentinel Prime to warn Jazz that the organics would eventually spit acidic goo that would melt through his body armor and destroy vital circuitry. Jazz was...less willing to meet the organics after that. When Sari Sumdac managed to sneak aboard their ship, he tried to send her out without provoking her. When she realized that Jazz was afraid of her, she tried to scare him. After Bulkhead explained that Humans were harmless (and Bumblebee explained that Sentinel Prime was a jerk) Jazz accompanied the Autobots to the manufacturing plant. Jazz and Prowl managed to keep the AllSpark powered drones away from Sari and Optimus long enough for Sari to shut down the assembly line. He and Prowl featured many conversations throughout the episode. Such as sharing moves, like the Tornado Of Doom Attack

 * Jazz transforms into a car that looks similar to his G1 counterpart. His exhaust pipes turn into nunchucks. It's unknown if this means he is supposed to be the Bruce Lee to Prowl's Ninja. He really looks better than his twice removed cousin, the dead one. He even has headphones
