MEET THE TRANSFORMERS: Jazz

Autobot Jazz® remains one of the best-loved characters from the original series. He lives by the "rock 'n roll" lifestyle credo of "if you can't do something with style, it's not worth doing at all." He is very cool, stylish, and competent. He is daring and clever. He has near-perfect recordable memory that makes him invaluable as a documenter of battles, equipped with a fusion engine that allows him to reach sub-light speeds in vehicle mode.

Autobot Jazz was among the Autobots who followed Optimus Prime® on his mission to seek out new worlds aboard the Ark. They were attacked by Megatron's® ship, the Nemesis and crash landed on Earth, where all on board were preserved in emergency stasis. In 1984, a volcanic eruption awakened the Ark's computer, Teletran-1, and it repaired everyone on board. It reformatted Autobot Jazz in the form of an automobile.

Self-possessed, calm, and utterly collected, Autobot Jazz is head of Special Operations, with his own dedicated roster of agents. He often gives the most dangerous assignments to himself. It's not a matter of ego — he just really has the coolest head for the toughest missions. Autobot Jazz's ease extends to whatever environment he finds himself in, no matter how weird or wonderful. He effortlessly tunes in to the local culture, assimilating and improvising, and making creative command decisions, making him an indispensable right-hand Autobot to Optimus Prime.
