- Jhiaxus (Deluxe, 2003)
- Accessories: 2 energy-blast missiles
- Robots in Disguise Jhiaxus is a redeco of the Deluxe Beast Machines Jetstorm toy in orange and gray, transforming into a Cybertronian fighter jet. His jet mode cockpit has a spring-loaded extension, giving him a bird-like head in this form that is articulated at the neck to "search" for targets. Both jet and robot modes feature spring-loaded "energy blast" missiles. He also has an alternate robot mode, which folds his legs into a "flight cone" and reveals jet thrusters.
- Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Jhiaxus was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His toy art and instructions also show the robot mode wingtips swept forward, as shown here; this contrasts with the Universe art above.
- Jhiaxus was available exclusively at KB Toys stores, released in October on 2003. Like other later additions to the Robots in Disguise line, Jhiaxus was released in Armada-style packaging, complete with a character art sticker.
- This mold was also used to make the Sonic Attack Jet, Robots in Disguise Storm Jet, and the 2003 Universe version of Generation 1 Skywarp. This toy was also repurposed as Generation 2 Jhiaxus.
Notes
[edit]- Originally, the Robots in Disguise Jhiaxus toy was perceived as a new form of Generation 1 continuity family Jhiaxus, as a 3H club magazine profile utilized the Robots in Disguise toy for a Jhiaxus hailing from a Marvel Generation 2-style universe. However, due to an art error, the Jhiaxus who appears in Universe #2 is drawn in the Generation 2 design while Universe #3 uses the Robots in Disguise design (albeit miscolored) for the same scene. Years later, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime would utilize this error to firmly establish a Robots in Disguise version of Jhiaxus and that there are two Jhiaxuses in that scene. Due to the body alterations in the Universe storyline, though, it remains unclear which Jhiaxus appears at which exact moment.
