Since they were first released during the run of Transformers: Cybertron, I have enjoyed the "legends" figures. They have always been pretty good toys at a great price point. Although I have strongly disliked the two previous movie lines (this includes the legends), I have loved the legends figures released for the Cybertron and Universe lines. One of my favorite figures was the Universe version of Jazz.Jazz was designed with his original Generation One self in mind. He transforms from a Porsche to one slick looking Autobot. To transform him from car to robot, you flip back the rear of the car to form the legs, flip the top of the back roof to form the feet, slide down the car side panels and rear tires to form the arms, and flip down the hood to reveal the head and form the chest. Over all, he is an excellent looking smaller figure with great articulation. They even paid homage to the original toy with having his car doors (or windows) sticking out from his shoulders.
Jazz has always been one of my favorite characters. I hope when the Universe line returns that they will do an all new mold of Jazz. An interesting note is that the mold for Universe Jazz was retooled and used for Revenge of the Fallen legends Bumblebee.
