Tech Spec Motto: "Do it with style or don't bother doing it." Allegiance: Autobot Function: Special Operations Saboteur Alternate Mode: Porche Sports Car

Profile: Jazz would be cruising down Bourbon Street in New Orleans or be double parked outside a cellar club in Greenwich Village soaking up the local sounds if he weren't in the middle of a war.  He's a confirmed Earthen culture junkie -he can talk fluently about ballet or break-dancing (although he prefers the latter) and he's always on the lookout for more stuff to turn on to.  His knowledge of Earthen ways and his easy adaptability to Earthen environments make him the indispensable right-hand man of his commander, Optimus Prime.    He's often given the most dangerous assignments, and with characteristic coolness, usually pulls them off using something out of his seemingly bottomless bag of tricks.  He'd rather dazzle you with style than accomplish a mission the easy way.

Abilities: In robot mode, Jazz can use his solar powered photon rifle with deadly accuracy up to a distance of 0.9 miles from target, and he can shoot it from virtually any physical position he may be in with equal effectiveness.  He can also use a combination of his overhead flame thrower (maximum range of 250 feet)  full spectrum front grill beacon and 180 dB  stereo speakers to create a spectacular disorienting light and sound show.  He has known to guide for more than 3,000  feet using his rear mounted ailerons.  His biggest asset is the versatility and cleverness he possesses in using the resources at his disposal.

Weaknesses: Although Jazz's fire power and strength are weak relatives to that of some of the other Autobots, he more than compensates with his daring and skill.  He's prone to be distracted from his primary assignment by Earthen behavior patterns that he finds interesting.  This sometimes leads to disastrous consequences.
