Staxx (G2)

Staxx is a Decepticon from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Sure, we guess his bot mode could look like that if you squint really hard.

Staxx is the scourge of the highways. He'll destroy anything he encounters on the road, be it Autobot or human.

We'll take a munky over THIS any day.

• Staxx (Power Master, 1995)
  • Power Master ID number: PM1
  • Accessories: 2 smokestacks/guns

Staxx transforms into a racing truck cab. As a Generation 2 Power Master, Staxx's gimmick revolves around his powerful pull-back motor. After pulling back on his vehicle mode, inserting his smokestacks into the slots in his doors releases a catch in the motor and allows him to zip along a smooth surface. This feature also works in robot mode. Unusually, Staxx has no mouth or mouthplate features whatsoever on his face.

Along with the other Generation 2 Power Masters, Staxx was one of the last toys in the Generation 2 line, and was only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in US packaging, complete with Hasbro's Rhode Island address.
