Universe Jazz

[frenzyrumble]

This guy was a hard project. I wanted to do something different than the ones we've seen before. I took the front end of a Porsche-like car, cut it up. Took off the front end of U. Prowl, then fused the 2 together. Took a lot of filling and sanding to make it look natural. I also wanted part of the front end to remain on his chest while in robot mode. The head is a cast from a botcon TFCC Jazz. His hands are articulated. I also reworked the spoiler and gave him fat rubber tires that stick out a bit, which give him a more racing car look. finished off with some custom decals and some gloss on the alt mode parts. Painted with HOK:KK and testor's model master enamels.

I know this was made from a U. Prowl but I can barely see that figure anymore. Awesome job F_R.

[thyvipera]

holy shit. that's a beautiful custom. those wheels and rims look sick!

[Rumble]

Wow, That is some amazing work! Yous should make one that is battle damaged.

[Sabrina_Ng]

Wow...Mike..It's beautiful...

[enclinedesigns]

MMMMM....Why am I making Jazz for the auction?:)

[BigHank]

Friggen awesome! Nice reshell and of course untouchable paint! Scatman would be proud!!:eek:

[Basatan]

That's pretty damn awesome, but that little gray piece on his collar is a little annoying

[AWstudios]

i tried making this dude! didnt turn out that great for me

[wats]

love the rims, but not really into the hood.... no offense....
too smooth. jazz had some sorta bumber and fog lamps on it.

[Shinobi]

I love what you did to the front end! Great job!

[XAVIERCAL]

very beautiful work I like the stripes are so clean.

If I was not at all familiar with the TFU Prowl mold, I'd think that this was just a repaint. Flawless modding. :)

Just a few gripes, though. I'm not digging the grey windows so much. I'd think that black would look more natural on the figure (as dark tinted windows). Also, the alt mode looks a little weird without headlights. Even race cars should have 'em IMO, even those obvious decal headlights (like in Disney's Cars).

Still, awesome work as usual. :)

thanks for the feedback and constructive criticism, it's TRULY appreciated here and welcomed.

Looking back, I think I will revisit this custom using all the mods, minus the turtle neck and front end rework.

Can I have this one? Sorry, had to ask. It worked once so I figured try again.

This is just awesome. I love the wheels and all the decals.
