Description:
G2 Universe Autobot Jazz (Deluxe Class, 2023)
Accessories: Blaster, rocket launcher, rocket, totally-not-a-hologram gun
Legacy: Evolution Toxitron Collection "G2 Universe Autobot Jazz” is a redeco of his Studio Series toy, based on Generation 2 concept art for a bright orange-and-red Jazz that never saw release).
In addition to his standard blaster, Jazz also includes a pair of new 5 mm compatible weapons, originally designed for a Buzzworthy Bumblebee Hound toy that had not been released or even officially acknowledged by the time Jazz had been revealed. Though not shown in the instructions, numerous stock images show him using both of these accessories to simulate the original 1984 toy’s over-the-shoulder missile launcher (as seen at right), since the concept art for this deco was just painted-over art of the normal Generation 2 art which also featured that accessory the actual Generation 2 Jazz did not have. Due to the base mold’s dearth of 5 mm holes, there’s no way to mount all of these accessories in car mode in a not-ridiculous fashion, but, well, "ridiculous” is obviously not out of the question here.
The Toxitron Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. This toy was one of three figures put up for preorder on Walmart.com and Pulse on March 13 2023, with them shipping in mid-July, about the time when the rest of the assortment went up for order on Pulse (but not Walmart.com, grumble grumble).
