Jida

Jida is a Mini-Con from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Texas Chaincat Massacre

Jida (ジダ) is Terrorcon Cliffjumper's Arms Micron. How a Mini-Con can work with an undead Autobot, we're not quite sure.

Toys

Prime

• Terrorcon Cliffjumper (Deluxe, April 28 2012)
  • Set ID number: AM-08
  • Micron ID number: M-08
  • Energon Crystal: HP Power

Available only with AM-08 Terrorcon Cliffjumper, Jida transforms from a robot cheetah into a dual-chainsaw weapon dubbed the "Big Saw". He also has a flattened-out "Defense Shield" mode. He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

Jida comes out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners (like a model kit), and a sticker sheet is included for detailing, including a really tiny sticker for his eye.

This mold was also used to make Timelines Catgut.

Texas Chaincat Massacre 2 - The Cheetah Generation

• Jida R (AMW Micron, July 28 2012)
  • ID number: AMW-06
  • Energon Crystal: HP Power

A red redeco of Jida was available in the first wave of "AMW" (Arms Micron Weapon) toys, individually-bagged Arms Micron kits still on their runners. Jida comes with his own individual sticker sheet.

Texas Chaincat Massacre 3 - Catface Goes to Hell

• Hellflame Jida (Promotional Micron, July 28 2012)
  • Energon Crystal: HP Gōsei

A clear-red version of Jida was given away as a campaign bonus with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Transformers at Joshin and Bic Camera stores on July 28 of 2012. This version is almost completely devoid of stickers, having only the small insignia sticker that goes under his Energon Crystal.

Due to the transparent plastic, extreme care should be taken when putting him together, particularly the pins in his rear legs. They're a rather tight fit and might require a little shaving down.

Notes

• Jida's name is a shortening of the Japanese rendition of "cheetah" (チーター chītā), with both consonants changed into voiced forms.
• Jida is the first pack-in Arms Micron to not be based on their in-show partner's weapon.
