Popular Tropes & Fanon
TBA
Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta
Jazz/Prowl, Jazz's most popular ship, originated in early 90s as a crack ship in the G1 canon, later becoming one of the most popular pairings in the fandom overall.[1] It predated the IDW comics and Animated, so when they released, many shippers adapted their new personalities to fix the ship rather than the other way around.[1] Prowl in particular was heavily influenced by this fanon in fanworks, as he was originally the least developed personality-wise between him and Jazz.[1] He can be considered one of the first fandom ghosts.[1]
Relationships
This is purposefully an incomplete list, as Jazz is shipped with many of the other Transformers. He's also popular for self-insert shipping.
