Transformers Movie History: JAZZ Origin Story

Transformers Movie History featuring Jazz. For most, the word "Autobot" is simply a faction or title. But for one individual, it is a way of life, defining his every thought and action. Always there to lift dampened spirits, he has hope in even the darkest of times. His name is Jazz. This is his origin story. What's up you guys? My name is RBG and welcome to my new video segment, Transformers Movie Universe History. In a previous episode did a video covering the origins of the treacherous, Starscream. We're currently at 100K views on that video and climbing so I have to say thanks to all who took time to watch and even rate. That really motivates me to do more. As mentioned in all my videos that I myself am well aware of the hate the Bay films receive and have to agree that most of it is warranted. But I wanna take you guys on a journey and show you some of the positives this universe has to offer because if we're gonna be honest there are certain characters in the films that don't get their just due. Just a heads up if you haven't seen the movies or read the comic book material used in this video, it will come off a bit spoilerish. So be advised. In today's episode we'll be uncovering the origins of our small but brave Autobot First Lieutenant, Jazz. A character whom similar to Optimus Prime, mandatorily needs to be presented in his own unique way. What I mean by this is that in most instances a Transformers will receive a major facelift in regards to their personality and overall design. But a robot like Jazz simply cannot be tampered with too much or he'll lose a lot of what makes him standout. It's like if the designers decided to make Optimus all Blue and you took away his iconic mouth guard, it simply would not work. Along with Optimus Prime, Jazz is the Autobot who retains most of his original Generation 1 design in the Bay film, among his iconic features, his trademark "visor", which is retractable in the movie, as well as front-chassis chest and wheel wells in his feet. Also, his transformation to vehicle mode, although in the film his alternate mode is not a Porsche 935, a similar looking model was chosen, as Jazz's alternate mode in the film is a silver/gray customized hardtop Pontiac GXP, similar to the weekend racer concept car. This is something I feel the 1st movie got right but sadly that would be the last time we would get a glimpse of our Autobots being portrayed in their trademark glory. After Jazz died, the philosophy of keeping the Transformers characters updated yet familiar died along with him. Now we're forced to deal with unrecognizable robots who essentially wear the names of our favorite characters but don't evoke any of the classical traits or personality.

Fast forward a little later between the events of the 1st and 2nd movie where Jazz met his timeply death. Captain Lennox, Sergeant Epps and the other soldiers helped Ironhide find suitable transportation for Jazz's remains. As Ironhide somberly placed Jazz's body into the trailer, the soldiers lowered their heads in honour of the Autobot who sacrificed his life to save theirs. Weeks later, the Autobots and their soldier friends are on a US Navy aircraft carrier for Jazz's burial at sea. "Ready when you are, Optimus" says Lennox. "Thank you, Captain. We are ready." "This is Epps. We're all set down here, Admiral." A crane hoisted the trailer containing Jazz's body and dropped it into the ocean. The Autobots bid a final farewell to their friend. Gone, but not forgotten...Jazz is laid to rest. And that my friends is where we'll have to end this origin story. I hope you enjoyed this origin story because I did what I could to make it more interesting given how minimal Jazz's role was in the comics. As I mentioned earlier he was 1 of the robots the films got right from his personality, right down to his overall design. If the future film installments wanna get the hardcore fans back on board they desperately need to try to repeat what the 1st film did and make the Transformers recognizable like Jazz was. I have my fingers crossed that we see him in some of the later movies whether it be in prequels, and here's hoping we hear from his voice actor Darius McCrary because he did an excellent job portaying him. But anyways what do you think of Jazz's origin story? Do you find it interesting? Does it help you appreciate the expanded universe that the Bay films have presented? Let me know in the section below. And to get a confirmation that you've watched the video in it's entirety, follow your comments up with #RestEasyJazz.
