Fiction
Wings Universe
Created in a Cyberfactory on Earth, Staxx was part of the "second generation" of Transformers who were born as neither Autobots nor Decepticons. Regardless, he and many others eventually turned to evil and joined Clench's Decepticon Syndicate. After the Syndicate invaded the Large Hadron Collider, Staxx and Breakdown escorted the captured Pyro to his audience with Clench. Generation 2: Redux
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Staxx served under the command of Turmoil when their second-in-command Deadlock abandoned his post. Drift #1
Like many other Decepticons, Staxx ended up on Autobot-controlled Cybertron following the end of the war. Once Megatron reappeared after several months' absence, they rallied around him and began rioting in the streets, where several of them ran into Wheeljack. Incensed by the presence of the Autobot who had captured Turmoil earlier, Staxx and Cindersaur began beating him until Prowl showed up with a giant gun and blew Staxx to pieces. City on Fire
Toys
Generation 2
- 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.
