Ask Vector Prime
Jhiaxus was Megazarak's second in command. He was left behind in Viron 704.31 Epsilon to manage the Dinobot resistance when his liege and most of his compatriots traveled to Aurex 304.0 Epsilon. When Megazarak was abducted by Unicron to fight in the Universe War, Jhiaxus briefly entered the conflict to rescue his lord and master.
A different Jhiaxus, in Viron 903.0 Beta, created Thrust from the wayward Spark of Waspinator and a blank protoform. Ask Vector Prime

Toys
Robots in Disguise (2001)
- Jhiaxus (Deluxe, 2003)
- Jhiaxus is a redeco of the deluxe-sized Jetstorm toy in orange and gray. 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. Jhiaxus was available exclusively at KB Toys stores.
- 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.
- This mold was also used for Sonic Attack Jet, Robots in Disguise (2001) Storm Jet, and Universe (2003) Skywarp.
Notes
- 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 RID toy for a Jhiaxus hailing from a G2-style universe. However due to an art error, the Jhiaxus who appears in Universe #2 is drawn in the G2 design while Universe #3 uses the RID design for the same scene. Years later, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime would utilize this error to establish a Robots in Disguise version of Jhiaxus and that there were 2 Jhiaxuses in that scene. Due to the body alterations in the Universe storyline, though, it remains unclear which Jhiaxus appeared at which exact moment.
