Spoiler: TGWP Jazz is amazing. I didn't even know who he was before this fic and I love him. I wonder what his IDW G1 counterpart is like? I just want him to hang out with my Iridium, oops.
In IDW, Jazz is a relatively minor player, but he's consistently around! He's there in Optimus's core group in phase one, and then he's around for most parts of exRiD in phase two. He's done some interesting things in both parts, but he's not one of the main leads. Also he's a super-babe, not an opinion, just the cold, hard facts.
I <3 Jazz. Weirdly I can't really ship Jazz with anyone but Prowl. I mean I can do others with Jazz if Prowl is part of the pairing. Thi is kinda a first for me to really really be OTP about something.
Yesss. Mostly I want Jazz and Iridium to talk music. She enjoys both music and singing, but she's not at all performative about it. She hates drawing attention to herself. Unfortunately she's also a big bright white behemoth with unusual social interactions due to autism!
Oh! And I almost forgot, there's a part in... All Hail Megatron, I think, where Tracks tells a story about this time he was blinded on his first combat mission, stranded, and almost killed, and this super cool super mysterious super soldier totally saved his life and got them both out of the mess safely, against all odds, and it was totally awesome. Too bad he was all blind and stuff and has no idea who this mysterious 'bot was. Guess we'll never know. (also aww, I have lots of feelings about Tracks and Needlenose and their emotionally fraught brotherly relationship, it would have been super tragic if Tracks had just died ignominiously on his first combat mission ever, and they parted on nasty terms and never got any chance at all to see each other again)
Spoiler: TGWP "What does it mean" Soundwave says as Jazz VERY CLEARLY is trying to show him his pain and everything that Soundwave tries to shut himself off from.
IT'S SO GREAT, ISN'T IT? i love soundwave so, so much, oh my god. he's my favorite how-do-i-people baby. and after reading that fic, i'm like double attached to my autistic soundwave headcanon. Spoiler: tgwp And mildly in Soundwave's defense, he doesn't have access to his regular memory-storing ways when he's in someone's mind, so he's relying on pure short-term memory rather than his established robutt archival processes. And Jazz is kind of throwing a lot at him very quickly, which he won't be able to retain well enough to untangle after that initial overwhelming rush. But yes, you dork, look at the pure words that are coming out of Jazz's brain, what do you think he's trying to say?
Spoiler: tgwp Obviously Jazz is saying he doesn't want to date anyone name Alejandro. Mystery solved! ...although, autistic Soundwave would explain this scene even more, because sensory overload.
Spoiler: tgwp Although now I keep thinking of pop songs for Jazz. Bloody Mary, anyone? We are not just art for Michelangelo To carve. He can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart. I'll wait on mountain tops in Paris cold J'veux pas mourir toute seule I'll dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, hands, Above my head, head, head Like Jesus, said I'm gonna dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, Hands above my head Dance together Forgive him before he's dead
weeell sins of the wreckers sure is. a thing. and tarantulas was every bit as difficult to look at as i thought he would be, and every bit as gay for prowl as i had suspected. also: holy shit, roadbuster.
