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.

[@macramequeenintheafternoon727]

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.

I tried looking into Jhiaxus toys and the only two that came up were this and the thrilling 30 which I think looked cooler.

[@hypertech116]

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.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

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.

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.

[@dialNforNinja]

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.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

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.

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.

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.

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.

I preordered mine the second day from bbts and still hasn’t shipped I’m gonna stop preordering things it always seems like everyone else gets theirs before me at least when preordering

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Amazon Son! BBTS is a good company but their Preorders SUCK.

[@crumplezone4286]

Yeh man I’m seeing that now definitely will go with Amazon next time And I just want to say it’s really cool that you respond to almost all comments that’s really cool man I love your channel keep up the great work !

[@Dupre1122]

Part of me is expecting to see the return of the uncooked spaghetti noodle every time you talk about loose joints.

[@nikinfernis6729]

If I may ask, why is there a paper cup in the thumbnail?

[@godmagnus]

The bat wings just make me think of Morrigan Aensland, even if they're in the wrong place.

[@qualityqueen1553]

Why didn't they just update him with the armada starscream mold.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That both would have looked better, and to be fair, probably not been as nice quality.

[@krizilid]

It's a great voyager, and there is already a upgrade to fill that massive hole under the cockpit.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That was fast.

[@Anur_Vladias]

I really hope the re-use this mold to make it a new character cause I want this to actually look good.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

They are using it for Vector Prime from TF Cybertron.

[@Anur_Vladias]

@@PerspectiveEnd GOOD.

[@hotdogman.]

He looks like a power rangers villain I honestly hate this toy

[@Parasyte316]

I like this figure. I relate to it very much, as in it physically hurts to look at both of our faces.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

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.

[@sebastienholmes548]

I'm wondering. Would you have thought more highly of this if he was in his generations colors?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The orange? Yeah, it's a much less ugly combo.

[@MCS_Mr.Malice]

As someone who’s insane enough to like the g2 comics this was my second most anticipated figure

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Well then, this will be a TOP TIER figure for you.

[@spencersholden]

His design matches his personality.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

So he has the Personality of Big Bertha from Mario?

[@CayeDaws]

3 months later my Walmart finally had one. Now I can have him fight rodimus

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And how are you liking it?

[@CayeDaws]

@@PerspectiveEnd overall I like him but his plastic feels very cheap to me

[@masontheawesome9898]

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…

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Wait when did Thew cover Jhiaxus?

[@masontheawesome9898]

The original T30 one, he did it a loooong time ago

[@lung74125]

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

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Man I can't understand why, it hurts me so much, but I'm glad you enjoy what you see.

[@zack-qb1xq]

I just got this figure, its essentially perfect...but those shoulders. Also where did you buy the figure stand?

[@StrykerPrimeProductions]

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.

[@timgojira4446]

You watching that new Primal season?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Didn't watch the old ones.

[@kociarzultimate384]

Also, I realized his pattern on his chest looks like Minecraft Creeper

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I guess kind of.

[@Spicy_Magma]

I feel like getting this, who wouldn’t want mango vanilla lime. In a dessert

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean that sounds tastier than what I said his colors look like.

[@charperalta9489]

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

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I feel like you JUST said this.
