Title:
Jawbreaker
Description:
Jawbreaker (Deluxe Transmetal 2, 1999)
Accessories: Tail-blade
Jawbreaker transforms into a blue, black, and red Transmetal 2 hyena. The back of his beast mode neck has a spinning saw-blade, and the entire assembly becomes his right robot mode arm. His tail detaches to form a really vicious-looking sword. His beast-head arm features a clicking ratchet joint at the elbow rather than a ball joint; a feature which wouldn’t see a prominent release until the end of the Beast Machines line.
The hyena jaws were designed to swing down and away from the rest of the head, forming a more distinct grasping hand for the robot mode. This feature is shown on the packaging photographs, but on the final toy it was "neutered” by the addition of rigid plastic pegs locking the jaws into the skull. It is possible to carefully break these pegs in order to restore the feature.
This toy was sold in Japan as an "import” with a Japanese sticker exclusive to Toys"R"Us. This mold was later used to make Universe Frostbite.
