![]() ![]() At lease he looks intimidating, but that’s not because of the pistols. ![]() Straxus came with a big ol’ ax, so it seems as though Jhiaxus should come with something similar in terms of cruel potential - a hammer maybe? Pistols seems so basic and boring. Given the little bit that I know about the character, twin blasters is a bit disappointing in terms of weapons. Starscream’s?įor accessories, he comes with two identical blasters that can be held via the standard 5mm peg holes in his fists, and they can also be attached to the underside of his wings in jet mode. From the crazed look in his eyes to the open mouth, Jhiaxus looks as though he’s about to bite someone’s ear off. There is actually a lot of personality in this sculpt, which is nice to see. I’m not positive what it’s supposed to be, but I like it. His head sculpt is downright frightening, and it looks to me as though there’s a bit of a “Darth Vader” influence in his design with what looks to be a breathing(?) apparatus/voice box attached to the lower portion of his face. And they actually managed to work Jhiaxus’ similarity to Starscream into the comic when Starscream said, “That’s how you really want to end this, Jhiaxus - by cosplaying as me?” It’s clever in a meta sort of way and helps to add legitimacy to the figure. His colors are awesome too - I’m a complete and utter sucker for the orange/grey combo. The Starscream mold is a good one to begin with, and there’s enough here that’s new that this figure doesn’t feel redundant at all. ![]() The figure is a repaint/remold of the Generations update of Armada Starscream. ![]()
