There’s more to AUTOBOT JAZZ than just style. Beyond his flashy exterior and hip communications modeling software lays a keen mind and commanding presence. OPTIMUS PRIME relies on him for his ability to assimilate and understand alien cultures, but also for his laser-precise strategic mind. His understanding of others extends even to the DECEPTICONS, which helps him keep the AUTOBOTS one step ahead of them at all times. His is an adaptive, flexible mind, unique among the TRANSFORMERS. For that reason, in the absence of OPTIMUS PRIME, AUTOBOT JAZZ is often left in command.
