I had 0 clue who this guy was when the Legacy figure was announced. Therefore had no intentions of adding it to the collection. But after this episode, which I say was absolutely AWESOME...he will be set free from the cardboard prison and added to the Transformers shelf when released in store. Seriously man, this dudes story seems awesome, and really neat how all the different versions through history seem to flow seemingly off each other. Thank you again Chris for educating us on the little unknowns of Transformers!!!

Sadly, while the story sounds good, Generation 2 is infamously a huge mess, and is some of Simon Furman's worst writing. It's also full of god-awful 90s art where everyone's bulked out, with huge chins and permanent scowling faces. Regeneration 1 is great though!

@dextreme7186 Год назад

Honestly, I'm surprised that no one decided to link Jhiaxus with Straxus, as their names are off of three letters of each, like maybe make them ancient enemies or allies with aligning interests and/or a past linking the both of them jn some way.

@JohnWilliams-wl9px Год назад

In IDW both Jihaxus and Stratus were both followers of Nova Prime. Who wanted to colonize all planets capable of life, but their quest led them to get trapped in the dead universe.

@mariaisabelg4701 2 года назад

I'm such a sucker for stories that have the Autobots and Decepticons working together in order to stop a common enemy. Jhiaxus, especially in his early g2 appearance, kind of reminds me of beast machines Megatron. Especially since both wanted to hide their violent/beastly side.

With how much the Underbase affects into various TF storylines, I'm surprised there hasn't been a basics on it yet. As for Jhiaxus (Gee, axe us. lol.), I didn't follow the comics as closely as I did the TV shows but I was vaguely aware of Jhiaxus's existence. I was mildly interested in an enemy so powerful and cruel that it would cause the Autobots and Decepticons to join forces, but not enough to actually pick up the comics. I wouldn't mind seeing him depicted in animation.

@dinodude5302 2 года назад

My favorite take on the character is the decepticon version created by Alpha Trion, whose intentions were to unify the Autobots and decepticons and eventually surrendering once he attacks Cybertron with an army of clones, and I've never actually encountered the character I've never even heard of him.

@Vormund 2 года назад

Glad to finally have a comic accurate toy be released. One other thing- for some reason to me it appeared Jhiaxus was like a spawn of Starscream, they seemed to share some similarities in physical appearance. Except Jhiaxus was beefier.

@ChrisMcFeely 2 года назад

I fear sending him a copy of the toy is the most that'll happen. It's the nature of the "work for hire" assignment, it was in the contracts as far back as the 80s, Furman knew it at the time, and every creator who's invented an original TF for an official comic since him has known it too: Hasbro owns the character, full stop.

@genyakozlov1316 2 года назад

You either have to unfairly take away the rights to the characters from their original creators, or you risk encountering another Circuit Breaker situation, where the only people interested in bringing back the character lack the rights to it, or in the worst case scenario: a Ken Penders situation, where the person who only had a hand in creating the characters takes all the rights to themselves and barely does anything with them, barring them from both their co-creators and those who love the characters enough to actually officially release something with them, rather than making a single comic chapter for twelve years. The situation is not black and white, right and wrong actions are hard to distinguish between.

@Protosilver97 2 года назад

If I'm correct the law says that if the character was made for a joint project the joint project's IP holder has the character's rights.
