It’s so funny to me that THIS is the character hasbro really put 110% effort into
The one no one cared about while the Phoned In Blitzwing.
Absolutely stoked for whatever else gets this mold for a retool/repaint. The jet mode could really be improved with new shin pieces and a different nosecone.
Also, coronation Starscream's giant purple throne was ABSOLUTELY designed for Jhiaxus and you won't convince me otherwise.
Well I mean it was designed for Megatron, cause it's the one Megatron had in episode 1 of the show.
But yeah, excited for anyone else out of this mold.
Probably my favorite legacy voyager so far, I love this figure, he’s so violently 90s comic villain, and I love him for that
I mean what's his Competition? Just Bulkhead. Both are remarkably good.
@@PerspectiveEnd does Blaster not count?
Blaster is a Kingdom figure.
@@BlitzkriegOmega who was meant for Legacy and got pre-released in Kingdom, why did you think he has a transparent tape?
@@BlitzkriegOmega No, blaster is (very obviously) a legacy figure released early to stretch out kingdom. I never even saw a kingdom blaster in store so his distribution couldn't have even been great. his little cassette man is the frickin legacy energon gimmick. he definitely counts as a legacy voyager
fun fact for those who don't know, Jhiaxus's name was a joke about how soon the G2 comic was canceled, its means "Gee Axe us"
Everyone Watches Chris Mcfeely here.
Yeah I definitely agree with Perspective End
I find it funny how good this guy turned out, like the love and care this guy got shouldve have went into blitzwing but I guess if youre a fan of Jhiaxus this is a great figure to get
Yeah, it's weird how this is the one that wound up good.
Because we got all the Blitzwings but this will likely be the only Jhiaxus for the next decade or more, let us comics fan have this. :p
I love how his accurateness is what makes him burn people’s eyes out
Truly accuracy for evil's sake.
Just saying, from an design and possibility standpoint it's one of the best figures that Hasbro has ever made imo. Just imagine this but with the IDW orange and grey colors
Well except for the Jetmode kibble. And yes this would be way better in other colors.
@@PerspectiveEnd i think they are just gonna use the armada starscream in order to do so since that's what they did the first time
I wish there was an IDW Jhiaxus that wasn't a retool since he didn't become that till right before he died.
@Megatron the Autobot True, but it’s because A.) Jhiaxus’ prescream body was more complex and had no obvious alt mode from what I remember
B.) The Starmada body just looks badass
That would be cool but I’m glad that we at least it this first.
Jhiaxus has the face of an Asian demon, and I really love it. It's not quite human, so it's not uncanny, just ugly and cool in all its stern glory. This is where most of his personality is. I don't blame anyone who calls Jhiaxus a god by seeing his face.
But man he just looks like a jacked up seeker without null rays. He's not unique enough.
The shins having exposed wires isn't that big of a deal to me, cause his face got strong vibes.
I hope they release Jhiaxus in IDW colors cause I want him to look more and more like guardian monster statues like those around temples and stuff.
Jhiaxus is cool, but nowhere near must-have for me.
I just noticed his face looks like Darkseid from DC. I remember Darkseid from the Justice League cartoons. That was one of my childhood cartoons.
Toy companies really were diving in the nostalgia rabbit hole, but then Gundam announced a new anime. And I'm excited for Earthspark. I hope that cartoon's toyline lives up to WFC Trilogy and Legacy. This nostalgia rabbit hole is ending, and I'm thrilled to see completely new stuff.
Do you think Bludgeon or Drift will be in Legacy? I really want these characters.
It does have a Samurai Helmet Quality.
Yeah the Hot Orange is a much better color scheme.
He does look a little like Darkside.
Going by the look of the Earthspark designs I doubt it will be good but we will see.
I mean considering they showed off Skullgrin already I'd say Bludgeon is a safe bet.
This is the THIRD Jhiaxus ever. The first was a Robots in Disguise (2000) figure, a repaint of Beast Machines Jetstorm. The second was a Generations figure, a retool of Generations Armada Starscream. This Legacy Jhiaxus is the third figure ever.
I'll admit I love how this figure looks even though he looks like he has Zaku tubes on his head mixed with a seeker, but my common problem will be and always will be this...yellowing, this figure is nothing but white, I fear for it overtime.
I mean he looks like that but only if you also dipped that combo into Radioactive waste.
@@PerspectiveEnd Just imagine all that yellow being vacuum plated gold chrome like the Beasties Transmetals and you'll appreciate it as it is much more.
Actually, if im remembering correctly prine did use the matrix in the final episode of season 3, but i highly doubt thats why people associate the matrix with him. I wasn't super sold on jihaxus, but tbh the more I see him the more I want him
Yeah, especially since no one actually watched Season 3.
@@PerspectiveEnd idk. Us Gen z and late millennials probably first saw g1 on Netflix and for the longest time they only had season 3
Excellent and fair review, PerspectiveEnd.
Bot mode is really good, yes. However the arm kibble and hollow undercockpit in jet mode is plain bad, so I wouldn't consider it a mini masterpiece. Though its jet mode is still better than Legacy Blitzwing's alternate modes.
Cheers.
I was debating weather or not to give him the Moniker, but to be fair some real MPs don't have great altmodes.
Really the robot mode being so near perfect is what did it for me.
It's not as bad as Legacy Skywarp visible fist syndrome.
I saw this figure be on sale so many times at Walmart and never ever thought about picking it up...and recently I won it in a giveaway on whatnot and i gotta say it's a lot better than I expected....like you said they put so much effort and it's probably because they've never done a figure of this character before and most likely won't do another one again for another 10-15 years...
You are the same Ill will who's been with my channel since the beginning yeah? If so long time no see.
Also yeah this thing is way better than I anticipated my self.
@@PerspectiveEnd not sure but I have been following for a while haha... Always great to get your perspective... that's why I had to watch your video as soon as I got this figure... funny how now everyone is going crazy for G2 with the toxitron line out now haha wouldn't be surprised if people pick this figure up just to scalp it cause of it ...
“It’s accurate to G2!”
That’s literally the worst part though. Those colors are hideous, but that body looks fantastic. It absolutely needs a new colorscheme.
Yeah that aint a complement like when people say "G1 accurate" though that wasn't a compliment with Blitzwing last time.
He is the third jhiaxus universe thrilling 30th and now legacy
I tried looking into Jhiaxus toys and the only two that came up were this and the thrilling 30 which I think looked cooler.
Dude! The Fraternicons channel hit 1k! That could be your 1 year milestone, getting another channel to 1k. Con-fucking-grats man, you earned it.
I noticed that my self, it's funny. We haven't done anything there in a while and het we still hit 1K. We feel kind of bad about it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Do not feel bad at all! You’ve worked so hard over the last 2 years you completely deserve it, and more. Cheers 1k for the Franternicons!
"What is this thing?" "It looks like the predator's shoulder canon."
Imagine disarming a guy and then he pulls out a smaller version of the gun you just knocked out of his hands. Also, looking at this Jhiaxus makes me think that the previous lines didn't have that many Decepticons because some of them are either fugly beyond comprehension or impossible to translate into toy form. Because I remember distinctly that the Unicron Trilogy had roughly the same amount for both factions.
That sounds like something the joker would do.
@@PerspectiveEnd Some UA-camrs I watch say that UA-cam is promoting Shorts right now, so if you want to grow a little faster right now, you need to make more shorts since UA-cam is trying to compete with cancer- I mean TikTok.
I remember getting a g2 bruticus when I was a little wee lad. When I saw the logo, I was like “what is this? This isn’t the transformers!”
It looks like a Knockoff logo.
I always give the extra weapons like that clear gun to other figures that didn't have proper weapons to begin with like legacy arcee. It might not be accurate but it's better than pizza cutter.
You know what it is a good size for her. Good call.
Too bad the Core Class figs onlly have 3mm hands, or you could give it to Skywarp
I fixed the wrist doors by putting a bit of super glue on the tabs, letting it try, then clipping off what excess/unnecessary glue stopping it from closing.
That would help for sure.
Ah, yes. Everyone's favourite character:
Gee, Axe Us!
At least we know how to say it now.
honestly all of the voyagers in legacy so far have been fantastic (not counting the soundwave repack) plus its nice to have a big decpticon villain who isnt some version of megatron for once
Yeah the legacy Voyagers actually from legacy have been KILLING it.
To be honest this is what the first thing I see when someone ask me what do you picture the 90s
It's a reasonable thing to see.
His head would look way better if he just did not have a mouth and it’s like hidden under his darth Vader breathing apparatus
Agreed, if it weren't scrunched up under his nose he'd look a lot more tolerable.
It would also be epic reveal in the show and I dunno someone defeats him and his mouth is shown but dies cause he has a server case of asthma and dies
The Hasbro team when trying to make the alt mode: Gee-axe-us
That was what they were thinking when they made Blitzwing at least.
Bro think he Namor 💀
Can’t believe they created the perfect Jhiaxus figure, not that I’m mad
It's shocking that they'd bother honestly.
Some people worry about the clear plastic chest but it seems pretty thick and sturdy to me. Speaking of clear plastic, I guess the little gun is supposed to be his obligatory energon weapon
Yeah but why is it the same gun but smaller?
And yeah it seems pretty robust.
@@PerspectiveEnd hasbro works in mysterious ways, don't question it lol
His name was literally called Gee-axe-us because the comic going to be cancelled after… I think 12 issues if it didn’t sell well.
I am aware yes.
I love the fact that this became a “let’s bash legacy Blitzwing again.” Netflix soundwave finally gets a rest from all the bashing! 😂😂😂
I don't Bash Netflix Soundwave that much, NOW CLIFFJUMPER!
And Blitzwing deserves it.
@@PerspectiveEnd don’t forget Arcee and the R.E.D. Figures
Definitely going to get this once I have everything else, if I end up getting 86 starscream I’m putting this guy on the throne after seeing how cool he looks on it
The only reason I'd pick that up is for the throne.
@@PerspectiveEnd I’m mostly getting it because I missed out on ER starscream and the rest of the stuff is a nice bonus
Just got mine today, i definitely agree on the arm parts of his jet mode. Thou, he looks a lot better in person.
He's a very fun toy, which saves him from his intentional Hideousness.
I was expecting him to be shorter, but the size comparison between Blitzwing and him made me lol
Yeah considering I originally thought he was a deluxe I was shocked at his actual size.
Jhiaxus, THIS Jhiaxus, is an absolute behemoth of a character who can go toe to toe with Prime or Megatron and reasonably expect to win.
Not sure why this took me a long time to realize but the wings on his ankles remind me of Namor
That was the first thing I thought my self.
I figure that his alt-node is a cargo shuttle rather than a jet per se, with a couple of bulk cargo containers underslung. It's not like Skyfire or the Sweeps/Defcon or even Astrotrain ever gave a crap about aerodynamics, let alone any larger ships. Really, though, he's not far off the situation of the BB Movie figures where the toy designers pretty much just had to start from the robot mode and make whatever they could out of it, since basically the only thing that carries over between modes is his stripey cockpit, with not even the main color matching otherwise.
I'm pretty sure that's not what they are going for.
I mean that's kind of true but Skyfire, was like supposed to have a crew like a Starship.
And yeah that is fair, there wasn't much in the way of an actual altmode for this guy to work off of.
Thank Primus I found this guy on sale at $30. Before you ask, in my local Toys r us (yes I have Toys r us) its $50! Voyagers are $50... Deluxes $40, Voyagers as I said $50, Legacy leaders are $84, but somehow SS leaders are $72? Also, COMMANDERS ARE $130. I think I'm buying everything not here, it saves money and my appetite for collecting Transformers.
That's what I hear is the case with Canadian Toy's R Us's, way more expensive than normal retail.
I recently got this. I'm impressed with the bot mode ,accuracy and detail. I have the same QC issues as well. Despite that I'm just glad we finally got a proper representation of this character. I have a feeling they will retool this sculpt for their upcoming metal hawk.
I guess if this is the one attempt he's ever going to get at Chug it may as well be an MP.
Who the hell is Metal Hawk?
@@StrykerPrimeProductions A Master force Character
@@jerometrescott742 Oh. Thx for clearing that up. Idk anything about Japanese Transformers
Wait isn’t there already a Metal Hawk retooled from Titans Return Triggerhappy?
“So you’ve finally arriv-what the hell are you wearing?”
“It’s my ass kicking outfit b*tch!”
What's that from?

UPDATE (I guess)
I've gotten it at the start of september in czech republic, for relatively decent price (as the exchange rate czk - dollar got worse) and I'm loving it. He's not exactly the centerpoint of my transformers collection, but he deffinitely is the main villain of my "g1 esque" shelf. The design, in my eyes, wonderfully conveys his nature of a fanatical warmonger who sees nothing but his ideology. The feral insanity hiding behind mask of arrogance, together with slight "marine" feel, it's got it all. When I visited the US, I've seen few of them in some Targets.
Hey! Congratulations. I'm happy to hear that.
I’d like to see a orange and grey repaint to reference his previous figures/colours. It’s also odd that he has opening hands on a random voyager, I find this to be one of the better voyagers in legacy while it’s ugly to some the possibility and quality is great
The orange would look a lot better.
Hey it’s the guy from the comics
indeed it is.
The reason why this figure is the way it is. Is because one of the designers got to work on this and it was one of his Favorite characters, so he tried to make it as good and perfect as possible. And that probably explains why cyclones is as good of a figure same thing goes with blaster, why they look soo good.
I mean that only explains so much, like 1 why did this get so much budget allowed for it, even if it was the guys favorite character.
And 2 why are they then apparently allowed to Phone in designs?
I love the gaudy aesthetic of this figure, it was the main draw. Hilariously enough i have the exact same qc with the joints, and its super weird. They're at that really weird point where its not great but its tolerable.
Weirdly enough i think the way this transforms would work wonderfully as a seeker. It could be just me who thinks that though, and we should just let Jihaxus have this win of a figure.
I think it could work great for the cone heads, or maybe some Tetra Jets.
But hey if you like what you see, I don't get it, but you must LOVE this thing.
It's funny you mention his build being perfect for a seeker, because when I first saw the pictures of him released by Hasbro I was excited, not for Jhiaxus himself, but because I was convinced he was a pre-tool for Armada Starscream. Everything about him just worked in my eyes, and just needed some tweaks to fit his character.
...And then we saw Armada Starscream... And he looks fucking aweful. He's literally an upscaled, worse version of his Generations figure, and that makes me... So mad. Mad, and concerned, because if Starscream looked that poor, then I worry for Megatron and Optimus. I didn't even have plans to buy Jhiaxus, but the moment I saw the Starscream we were getting I just decided to buy him out of spite, and it just made me *MORE* mad because this figure's mold is so damn good. The legs on mine are nice and tight even if the elbows and shoulders are a tad loose, and the articulation is amazing, even having that shoulder articulation cheat mentioned in the video which I was quick to figure out and love utilizing for all sorts of fun poses.
Everything just works so well on him even if his colors are gaudy and horribly cheap-looking. Like, he's my favorite Legacy figure so far, and as someone that had no intention of buying him that came as a major surprise to me.
When i first saw this figure, i thought the clear gun was a jpeg just edited on because it was missing or something. turns out... its just incredibly thin
It's thinner than a lot of TF Swords.
So I admit I didn't read through all the comments to see if anyone said it or not but this is the third Jhiaxus figure. The first was in the RID 2001 toyline as a repaint of the deluxe Jetstorm, then of course before this one, the thrilling 30.
You are the first to tell me what figure you are talking about when informing me there is a figure, and now that I know, I gotta say. Oh FUCK no that don't even remotely count.
Oh I know. I don't count it either. Doesn't even look like him in any way.
I like the Idea of Jhiaxus being a scientist who made false information "proving" functionism as a viable thing. But the reason he's doing it is because he benefits from the system (but i can't find out a way to fit that in my own personal story). Also hyped for this
I do think Jhiaxus is better as a Scientist.
This figure was definitely designed by people who love the character. Afterall this is the first original mold for the character so glad they went all out. I wouldn't be surprised if they release a repaint/retool of his comic book orange deco. The alt mode is definitely a dud, but overall it's an amazing figure that I'm surprised we got in 2022 with this level of gap fillers, moving hands ect.
This figure looks so stupid and over the top that I love it. However him having a faction badge is wrong, he is the leader of a third faction.
Anyway I reckon with some retooling and redecoing he could look really cool instead of really dumb.
It wasn't a Third faction, it was just a Splinter Faction of Decpticons. The G2 Decepticons.
Jhiaxus looks like the one fish that says don't pee on the floor, use the commodore
I don't know what you are talking about.
it's from like some game I played a long time ago
Perespective-end I would like to thank you because you are getting me through a very long plane ride
Robots in disguise 2001 jhiaxus, generations thrilling 30s jhiaxus, and now legacy jhaxius.
The RID 01 doesn't even count. Not 1%.
@@PerspectiveEnd not according to Chris mcfeely's basics episode on jhiaxus. I recommend watching it. It will explain everything.
I initially accepted but didn't understand your dislike of how integrated joints look until you mentioned leg length in this vid
Hey perspective, I went ahead and shared your video to redit (with credit saying its your video ofcourse) hopefully this will get you to your goal!
I have no idea what Redirect is but thank you for trying to help lets see what happens.
@@PerspectiveEnd i ment to say reddit 😅
One semi fanmode I do with this guy is to not have his arms transform so that they act like one of those soaceships with the grabby arms you see in movies all the time.
It also gives the HILARIOUS image of him getting into a fist fight with someone in his alt mode. Image trying to explain to your boss that you got your ass kicked in a fist fight by a fucking spaceship 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know what movie you are talking about, but that sounds like Outlaw Star?
I just like the idea of the ship mode squaring up, doing the old timey boxing pose.
im waiting at the edge of my seat for a video about the new releases (TARRRRRN)
Unfortunately you will have to wait 1 week longer. It's Beast Wars Week.
Im so glad that youtube is finally notifiying me when you have a new video out.
Yeah they can kind of suck some times.
This might be just me but this figure feels like a heavy HEAVY retool of 86 Hotrod.
Man... That is some INSANITY you just hit me with.. And I can kind of see where you are coming from.
From a capitalistic standpoint it kinda makes sense why they’re making all these one off characters hella accurate, since that way, they don’t have to do em again in a long while. We’ll always have characters that are relevant and that matter, they’re probably just getting these niche taste one off characters out the way just to later profit on their eventual rarity in the future. That’s purely a guess of mine.
There is a separate think you have to consider. Copyright. If they do a perfect version now, and have to make it again later to keep Copyright, then the next versions of these will likely be doomed to go poorly.
I actually got this figure as an early gift for my birthday, and I must say, his general build reminds me of BB Movie Prime. I enjoy the figure, however I wish they gave him a more pleasant looking headsculpt. Also, strangely the QC on my figure is exactly like yours, which makes me believe that it’s more widespread.
I'm not quite sure how it feels like BB Prime?
Several people have said their QC is the same, so yeah it seems to be widespread.
Jhiaxus genuinely looks like a Animated design with that head
Yeah a bit.
This guy absolutely deserved the leader pricepoint over Blitzwing - seriously, just fix his legs, maybe give him a butterfly at the shoulders, and do SOMETHING to make the underside fold up or integrate better, and he'd absolutely work better as one.
Hell even as he is, he's more of a leader.
it feels like they went out of their way to make this figure better than most; he's taller than a lot of leaders, has one of the cleanest robot modes, they added those arm panels to cover up what would be huge gaps on other figures, and gave him opening hands which they just only seem to do for new molds once every blue moon, all for... jhiaxus. why? motormaster couldn't get any opening hands, even for the menasor mode, but a fucking voyager jhiaxus does???
It's a Conundrum why they thought Jhiaxus was in need of every dollar they had in the budget.
In the wing universe aka the most closest thing of in between the g1 cartoon and beast wars jhiaxus was the reason of the birth of many transformers like g2 ironhide, nightracer, mw starscream, mw hubcap and thanks to sky byte who jumped into the g1 universe and stole the rest of jhiaxus's pods and the bw predicons were born and one of them was tarantulas
I feel like you JUST said this.
I like this figure. I relate to it very much, as in it physically hurts to look at both of our faces.
Don't talk about your self that way. Look you may be hideous, and absolute agony to look at, but calling your self a Jhiaxus level CHUD is a bridge too far.
I really like this guy and I am happy we are getting comic only transformers finally. Oh also at 4:24 you said optimus never used the matrix but optimus was actually the first person and still the only person to open the matrix in a cartoon. It's In the G1 episode "return of optimus prime part 2". Hasbro is not going to try to replace optimus with rodimus again after the first try which is why future stories involving the matrix were almost entirely centered around optimus. Hence the matrix becoming important to optimus as a character, since every iteration after g1 has some kind of matrix that is significant to the character.
i think the reason it comes with 2 guns is bc they wanted the consumers to have a place to put the lazer shoulder thingy if they didnt want it
And they couldn't do that with just the red one?
@@PerspectiveEnd idk maybe for g2 accuracy
He’s basically a joke character created by Mr Transphobia because he thought that Marvel would axe the G2 comic, so the name was literally Gee, Axe Us. But for a joke character, my lord he seems fantastic. Hopefully I can pick him at TFN, along with every other wave 2 figure and the Velocitron bots because they’ve already hit the UK for some reason
I don't know that I'd call him Mr Transphobia, more like Mr Woman Hater, and he's just willing to use Trans as a weapon against women. Which is... Quite the action to take.
I don't know how they still invite Simon Furman to conventions, his stuff isn't even good.
@@PerspectiveEnd I'm glad someone agrees with me. He's going TFN this year, luckily only for one day, but man, not looking forward to being in the same room as him
Also, I realized his pattern on his chest looks like Minecraft Creeper
I guess kind of.
I just got mine today and HOLY SHIT I LOVE this thing. I honestly didn’t even know that this guy existed until this thing was revealed but now I love the character and this figure captures him so well and I’m happy. He’s gonna be sitting on the throne that came with the Corination Starscream that I have, wish the crown fit him though. Also PLEASE don’t turn your hatred of Blitzwing into a running gag it’s already bad enough that you do Cliffjumper. I don’t own Cliffjumper but I own the Netflix Bumblebee and I really like the thing, probably my favorite Netflix figure of the ones I got. And for that he might be small and he might parts form but he’s still actually good and it’s ok that he’s getting a few retools and repaints, I mean it makes sense that they do that because some characters actually have Bumblebee’s body type so it makes sense that they retool Cliffjumper into them. It’s ok that you don’t like it but your hatred of it has gotten out of hand at this point. That last part had nothing to do with this video but I had to get that off my chest.
He's a big voyager. Getting kingdom Cyclonus quality vibes.
He's bigger than Cyclonus.
Saying is head looks like a cheap cheap from Mario is the most accurate statement. Also there’s a cult
Yeah my server is like the Cultiest place on the internet, so there's a Jhiaxus cult, and a Red Cog Cult, and a Skywarp cult, and a few I'm forgetting about.
Dumb Theory: he's nightscresms ancestor that's why they both got dumb bat wings on their ankels
I like this Theory. They are both hideous too.
The wrist doors problem are also on my figure, also even tho I kinda hated when he was announced, once I got, it kinda grew over me
It's growing on me too, it still hurts to look at.
Erm actually 🤓 SS voyager Hotrod had opening hands. Also great review, I love this fella
Yeah, and that's a Deluxe. Opening hands is +1 Scale.
I could only think of "Jhiaxing Off" from your server watching this.
Classic.
I don’t know jack ab this character and I think the colors he was given are horrendous but I’m impressed his figure is as intuitive as it is. Not sure if it warrants picking up or not, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt that it came out better than I expected.
I feel like getting this, who wouldn’t want mango vanilla lime. In a dessert
I mean that sounds tastier than what I said his colors look like.
I'm seriously convinced with that blitzwing that they figured they would probably need another leader class so they decided on voyager blitzwing and figured it would work because in the last line there was a triple change or leader class so why not again?
I really hope the re-use this mold to make it a new character cause I want this to actually look good.
They are using it for Vector Prime from TF Cybertron.
@@PerspectiveEnd GOOD.
I just got this Jhiaxus toy from Singapore. I absolutely love it.
It's a really good figure.
They probably won't do this but how would you feel if Hasbro made a Jhiaxus figure that is a retool/redecorate of the Legacy Armada Starscream?
You mean like they did in Generations. I mean that looked better.
Yes that's what I mean
Maybe it's because optimus used the matrix more in the marvel comics, and I think he's the one who destroyed unicron with it in that series
That's weird... That's so disrespectful to Hotrod. Like it's his one Achievement.
A bit off topic but an update I picked up the blitz wing and yeah I’m liking it a lot though the plastic does make me worry it’ll break in future so I’m being careful. I did end up finding blitz for $40 so it was easier on the wallet and felt more reasonable. To get back on topic I can’t wait to find the rest of the wave two figs cause Jhiaxus is lookin great to me.
Edit note god big J’s name is hard to spell lol
Yeah, it's a thing you really have to get used to Spelling.
And I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying Blitzwing even if I hate it.
I'm glad to see this figure is good, cause for some reason I am very attracted to the G2 designs, so much that I'm considering getting MMC G2 Bruticus
Man I can't understand why, it hurts me so much, but I'm glad you enjoy what you see.
Amazing video like always thank you!
Mw Hubcap was his most loyal soldier and friend for he tells mw hubcap to live a good life after he stopped his war for a new genaration of transformers when megaplex impaled him from the back in the wing universe aka the most clossest thing to what jhiaxus would be like in the main g1 show
I didn't know that about him.
@@PerspectiveEnd mw hubcap isint the same guy as the g1 hubcap
He’s basically the perfect visage of an awful design. If you like Jiaxus this figure will be a must buy. I don’t care for the character but I do respect the craft on show here, it’s clear the designers knew this would likely be Jiaxus’s only toy and they went all out.
Hopefully he gets retooled into something actually cool.
I feel like he’s as good as he is because they took most of the budget of their second voyager by making it a rerelease of siege soundwave, kinda like what they did for kingdom core soundwave in a way
That or they wanted to make it perfect so they never have to touch this odd ball of a design again lol
You know what you might be right about that. Interesting thought.
4:20 well he did use it in the episode: the return of Optimus part 2
No one Watched Season 3.
I think if I got this, I'd just use him as an ugly Decepticon general everyone's terrified of, but makes fun of behind their back.
Even if that wasn't his original characterization.
This looks good, even if the design isn't for me. I'm glad G2 fans get something to enjoy.
Hopefully they can retool this into a character I DO care about, since the base mold seems really good.
I mean I feel like that is just what he already is.
I remember him being more of a leader in G2 than just someone who served Megatron, but I only ever watched the Basic's video one time on him.
That's as far as my knowledge on the character goes.
I don’t particularly care for G2, and have never read the comics, but the unique design of this figure, paired with just how good it is, is kind of tipping the scale for me. I read a bit about his character and he seems interesting enough. Good, well made figure and good, well written character are usually the criteria on whether I get a figure, with few exceptions.
I don't know that I'd say he was well written, at least not back in G2.
@@PerspectiveEnd fair enough.
It annoys me that this guy with one of the worst designs in G1 and G2 gets this type of work. Why? He gets opening hands and no gaps at all. The only reason I only even know about him is the Thew video of the figure with the better of the two colors. I hate the look of him…
Wait when did Thew cover Jhiaxus?
The original T30 one, he did it a loooong time ago
Namor from Wakanda Forever loves those wings
Namor from every version loves ankle wings.
I think Jhiaxus and Liege Maximo could probably be up there as some of the best Transformers villains if they were in something (respected) that wasn't G2
Jhiaxus (in my eyes anyway) is probably the craziest cultist to ever exist in this franchise. His wrinkly Clancy Brown face mixed with the general violence and 90's edge of G2 makes me think of him as a motherfucker who could floor the everloving shit out of most of the Autobots if they pissed him off too hard. And the Legacy figure kinda cements him as a somewhat underrated character because of all this headcanon shit.
also fuck IDW Maximo they got rid of the chubbiness and metal and turned him into a sexyman
where's the cool?
Yeah they really wanted Leige Maximo to be Tom Hiddleston Loki.
And yeah Jhiaxus would be better respected if it weren't for the fact that he's from G2, where Dignity goes to die.
Robot-Hitler in all his ugliness, and I agree on the size of the badge. He is the perfect character to have his badge just out and proud. And I really wish they went with the regeneration 1 colors instead of the G2 design
He would look a lot better that way yeah. And more big badges please.
In short, you can hate this because of the figure look, but at the end of the day, this is still one HECK of a well executed figure.
And as for the gun.... The best guess I had heard is from TJOmegas. That the reason why this figure has his translusive gun is the same, as the reason why Bulk has an translusive mini-gun.
And as for the question of the video...
Since you mentioned his generations retool, can I ask what you think about his incarnation in IDW comics?
Yes, it's a great figure of a Really UGLY thing.
Yeah, it's clearly the energon weapon thing, but why do it twice?
I think the IDW version looks a lot cooler, and I like him as a weird kind of Dr Frankenstein Igor hybrid.
The bat wings just make me think of Morrigan Aensland, even if they're in the wrong place.
Ayyy looking forward to getting this one. I need it as a member of G2 gang
Well it should make you happy.
They didn't have to make this figure, for a character almost no one cares about go so hard.
And yet they went harder than with the resto f the entire line.
This is easily the best Legacy figure, which is saying quite a bit because I've been really enjoying Legacy so far. My least favorite figure that I own so far is Kickback, who's basically a perfect rendition of the G1 version, but with a meh transformation.
The only figure in Legacy that *might* be Dragon Megatron who looks incredible.
I'm always sent reeling when PE, a disembodied pair of hands, complains about everyone else's feet.
Have you not seen the face and feet the hands are attached. No joke the feet at rest move faster than the hands in the video.
@@PerspectiveEnd NGL, I'm new here.
I noticed. I try to respond to every comment, so I tend to recognize people, the only thing in the way is how many people there are.
But yeah, if you want to see my face you can watch the 1 and 2K subscriber specials, as well as the Kingdom Rodimus video.
