Considering the fact that one of Jhiaxus' greatest memorable moments from the G2 comic was almost killing both Optimus & Megatron, it's truly fitting to have that exact figure comes. Speaking of Lord Straxus, I think there's a rumor of them doing one
Absolutely amazing review of Legacy Jhiaxus, PPR! I agree, he's truly an outstanding figure. I find no flaws with him and I think Hasbro is really stepping up a notch with these mainline figures. Keep up the great work as always, man!
I got my Jhiaxus Friday, but I was at work out of town over the weekend, and just got him opened up today. Really awesome figure. Thanks for the awesome review, PPR!
After getting mine in the other day, I really hope we get even more G2 characters and maybe even something really out there like Machine Wars And now I have to track down those G2 comics🤣
Only thing can think of for tye fingers is when he crushes one of his own troops head in his hands. That or tossing Prime and Megatron around. Same with you. When I hear Jhiaxus I think of G2 not the idw one at all. I now just hope we'll see some of his army. Even if, dare I say, a troop builder pack. Great review
Couple things you’ve probably already caught by now: the shoulders peg together under the jet body, and the bottoms of the toes also peg into the tops of the engines in back.
Great Review, man! I love the G2 Comics, and this guy is awesome. Not sure if you've heard, but they are supposedly doing another Straxus. Still under the "Darkmount" name though. At least rumor has it.
This figure is soooo good! I got mine in a few days ago. I don't care if the plastic yellows, I just hope the clear plastic can hold up since everything is pinned in place. The gun feels sturdy enough, even if it is thin.
It kills me that I've been waiting for a legit Jhiaxus figure for YEARS. But when Hasbro finally releases this awesome figure, I don't have the money to get him lol. Great video!!!
This is another case like the quintesson where they had a popular character they never made a toy of their original appearance of for DECADES for some reason other than loose adaptations of it, and I'm honestly shocked Jhiaxus is a completely new sculpt instead of just a scourge retool.His alt mode in the g2 comics is the same as scourge but with bat wings on the sides. His robot mode wouldn't be as incredible if they did that, so it's a fitting compromise to have a slightly inaccurate altmode for the absolute perfection that this robot mode is. It's crazy that hasbro actually worked in the arm flaps into a voyager figure again for once! Not even leader class figures have those these days! Floppy neck QC issues aside,Jhiaxus really is almost return to form more or less in terms of engineering.
Was the character Lockdown from the Bayverse Transformers movies bassed on Jhiaxus? I have this first too and i wholeheartedly agree with you this figure is awesome love it. Other than that a great video keep up the great work👍 And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
I got mine through Amazon on Saturday. Beautiful figure but QC sucks so bad. The head falls backwards because there is no tension on the ball. The small green wing do not stay in place. Beautiful looking crappy figure.
I was just messing with mine, and the head just popped off the actual ball. It was still attached, but super wobbly. All I had to do was brace my fingers on the back of his head and pull forward, and it popped back into its correct alignment. You may want to try the same chiropractic treatment on yours.
The jet mode is firmly "good enough" IMO. It's whack as far as representing the actual jet mode in the comics, but it's "good enough" and if that's the only cost of him *absolutely nailing* the robot mode, it's worth every penny.
If you want the best story on Jhiaxus ship the g2 comic entirely because it really bad. Instead go after the Regeneration One comic, where this figure took more inspiration from and it really has the best written version of this character
This figure fits perfectly in the "throne" that came with SS86 Starscream.
You know who else fits perfectly in that throne? Generation Selects Super Megatron and Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron!
It took 30 years, but finally an outstanding figure of Jhiaxus has arrived.
Considering the fact that one of Jhiaxus' greatest memorable moments from the G2 comic was almost killing both Optimus & Megatron, it's truly fitting to have that exact figure comes. Speaking of Lord Straxus, I think there's a rumor of them doing one
This figure is God tier 👈🏼
He's so weird and faithful to the comic I love it and picked him up on first sight

Really awesome figure.
Thanks for the awesome review, PPR!
got this figure thanks to your heads up! I am amazed that they did this figure, and even more amazed that they made it an original mold. Thanks again!
No problem!
I watched the whole thing. Thank you
After getting mine in the other day, I really hope we get even more G2 characters and maybe even something really out there like Machine Wars
And now I have to track down those G2 comics🤣
Like I said, they're about $10.00 ea. I looked them up for Larkin a few days back.
Titan Books "Dark Designs" and "Rage In Heaven".
@@PatriotPrimeReviews I have G2 jhiaxus bro
Umm we are getting a Darkmount/Straxus due to leaks. I believe that he is going to be a remold of leader Galvatron.
Only thing can think of for tye fingers is when he crushes one of his own troops head in his hands. That or tossing Prime and Megatron around.
Same with you. When I hear Jhiaxus I think of G2 not the idw one at all.
I now just hope we'll see some of his army. Even if, dare I say, a troop builder pack.
Great review
The idw one was sort of just, shockwave 2.0. that plus his whole arcee controversy.... made him less interesting. G2 is definitely the better version.
I actually have both of those Titan Books trade paperbacks for the G2 comics. Glad I was able to get ahold of them.
Couple things you’ve probably already caught by now: the shoulders peg together under the jet body, and the bottoms of the toes also peg into the tops of the engines in back.
Looking forward to mine, its on its way from Amazon
I got mine and he’s so dang amazing. One of my favorites This year
Absolutely!
Great Review, man! I love the G2 Comics, and this guy is awesome. Not sure if you've heard, but they are supposedly doing another Straxus. Still under the "Darkmount" name though. At least rumor has it.
Thanks for the info!
The shoulder sensor front piece pops off btw. It goes into the peg hole on the back of the red blaster.
I know, I did a short video on it.
Hidden gimmick.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Oh I guess I missed that. My bad.
The feet tab into the thrusters in jet mode
I'm getting him for my Transformers Synergy series as one of the Destructicons in Season 2.
Seen his origin and he is something serious...they should put him in a movie...as the next villain...I got him today at Citi Trends for $16
This figure is soooo good! I got mine in a few days ago. I don't care if the plastic yellows, I just hope the clear plastic can hold up since everything is pinned in place. The gun feels sturdy enough, even if it is thin.
jihaxus and thunderwing are both my favorite anti faction leaders
Great review man. Question: You're not at all concerned with yellowing over time given all the white plastic? Thanks.
Not at all, if it happens...it happens, not much I can do about it.
That’s a cool looking Transformer figure
This figure was a pass for me at first, but your review is really making me reconsider that!
It kills me that I've been waiting for a legit Jhiaxus figure for YEARS. But when Hasbro finally releases this awesome figure, I don't have the money to get him lol. Great video!!!
Excellent work from Hasbro on this one. Super faithful to the comic. We might get a decent Thunderwing out of this mold eventually.
Fingers crossed!
First time that I saw that figure I thought that he was an autobot😅😅
i do wonder if you'll pick up transformers mpg shouki?

Was the character Lockdown from the Bayverse Transformers movies bassed on Jhiaxus?
I have this first too and i wholeheartedly agree with you this figure is awesome love it.
Other than that a great video keep up the great work👍
And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
I'm not sure, I thought Lockdown was based on Animated Lockdown.
But with Bay movies...who knows.
Thanks for watching.
Can't help but wonder what else they'd do with this mold.
Personally, I hope it's the RID1 version of him.
What if you turn the arms up to cover up the bottom of the cockpit?
Possibly, I'll have to try that.
Amazon lost my jhiaxus… trying to watch these videos so I feel a little bit better about getting my figure a whole two weeks late 😢
Hasbro could retool of him to make Armada Thrust.
I got mine through Amazon on Saturday. Beautiful figure but QC sucks so bad. The head falls backwards because there is no tension on the ball. The small green wing do not stay in place. Beautiful looking crappy figure.
That sucks, a drop of Floor Polish would stiffen those joints up.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews thanks i was going to try that because this is such a nice figure i want it displayed properly. Thank agains

I think they could have done better with the arms in jet mode.

Is it just me or does the nose cone look like a bird beak LOL
Well Hell...it does now.
😆

I have that series in TPB, need to give it a re-read
