Title:
Jhiaxus
Description:
G2 Universe Jhiaxus (Voyager Class, 2022)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-09
TakaraTomy release date: October, 2022
Accessories: Rifle, pistol, sensor cap
Part of the second wave of Legacy Voyager Class toys, G2 Universe Jhiaxus is a Generation 2 comic-accurate version of the character that transforms into a Cybertronian spacecraft. His accessories include a rifle and a pistol. He also features a G2-accurate Cybertronian/Decepticon insignia on his chest. His hands also feature some limited articulation.
In an undocumented feature, the front half of his shoulder sensor has a hidden 5mm post and can be removed, presumably to attach to the rear of his large rifle as some kind of scope for robot mode. The rifle can then also mount backwards on top of the jet mode with the ”scope” facing front, vaguely resembling the rear-mounted weapon from said mode’s scant original comic appearances. Removing the sensor front allows the rest to cleanly fold away into the cockpit for either jet or robot mode.
This figure was officially revealed by Hasbro on the April 12, 2022 Fan First Tuesday.
Notes:
Jhiaxus’s name is a play on ”gee, axe us”, a phrase which expressed writer Simon Furman’s dread of the Generation 2 comic’s cancellation by Marvel.
Generation 2 Jhiaxus’s robot mode design seems to be based loosely on the Seekers. He keeps the air-duct boobs, the cockpit torso, the ear-vents, the wing placement, one shoulder-mounted jet intake (including Starscream’s stickers), and a nosecone on the back of the head.
Among the many, many toy ideas Glen Hallit suggested was a redeco of Go-Bots Aero-Bot as Jhiaxus. It was to be distributed as the Dinner Exclusive at OTFCC 2003, but as with most of Hallit’s toy proposals, it was not produced.
Jhiaxus’s name is apparently very difficult for IDW’s writers to spell. Known variations to date include ”Jiaxus”, ”Jihaxus”, and ”Jihauxus”.
In Universe #2, Jhiaxus is portrayed in his original Generation 2 body, but he is seen in his Robots in Disguise body during a flashback in the following issue. It’s possible that this was either a misunderstanding between two different artists, Jhiaxus morphed into a new body as he left the Cauldron, or there were two Jhiaxuses. In 2015, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime chose the latter option, establishing that there was also a Robots in Disguise/Viron Jhiaxus alongside the Generation 2/Primax Jhiaxus in the Cauldron.
Kre-O Jhiaxus is a bit of a hard one to suss out in the comic. He’s wedged into a corner behind Straxus, whose scythe obscures his chest details. But the cockpit is just visible, so mixed with the yellow chest, red Starscream-style helmet, and he’s in a panel that otherwise holds nothing but Decepticon leader-types... yeah.
