Title:
Jazz Missing Captain Lennox Vehicle Mode
Description:
Autobot Jazz / Captain Lennox (Human Alliance, 2010)
TakaraTomy ID number: RA-32
Accessories: Motorcycle/Slug Repeater, missile
Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
Part of the first wave of 2010 Transformers Human Alliance toys, Jazz is a larger-scale figure comparable to the Alternators, at roughly 1:24 scale with a vehicle mode featuring opening doors and space inside for a driver and passenger; in this case, an included figure of Captain Lennox. The set also includes a motorcycle Lennox can (barely) ride.
In robot mode, Jazz is loaded down with gimmicks. A switch on the back of his head flips his clear-plastic visor up and down, giving us a rare glimpse of his sculpted eyes. Unfortunately, they’re painted the same bronze color as most of his face, so you might have to squint to see them. The motorcycle can be transformed into a spring-loaded, projectile-firing "Shielded blaster” resembling Jazz’s Crescent Cannon and attached to his arm, with the bike’s tailpipe becoming the missile. Lennox can ride the motorcycle in either mode, with a different set of handlebars to grip in each mode. The leg panels near his feet each feature a small, flip-out, double-barreled weapon at the tip. Jazz also has a flip-out blaster on his left shoulder with an accompanying seat for Lennox, which places the cannon on his left shoulder as well (though the instructions fail to point out the flip out seat that is positioned there for him).
His packaging stock photography shows him reversed and minimally mis-transformed, with his shoulder seat on the wrong side and his front grille left unrotated. His instructions also haphazardly tell you to pull the hood up and out before you detach and pull his front wheels/shoulders apart, a feat which is excruciatingly hard to accomplish. It is actually much easier to pull the hood after, when the small tabs on the hood aren’t locked to the wheels/shoulders on the sides.
Captain Lennox uses a more simplified design than other Human Alliance figures, with the waist and wrist joints omitted, meaning that he is unable to grip the horizontal handles on the shoulder cannon and motorcycle with his vertically-aligned hands.
The Takara release of this toy sees the transparent blue plastic used for the windows and the visor switched for clear plastic on the windows and orange for the visor.
