However in this case a lot more was changed. Most of the time, a redeco/retool means "new colors, new head" such as the awesome Nightbeat figure. This review will focus on the changes made to the figure for this release. Check out that review for my thoughts on that sculpt. Like Starscream, he represents the character's appearance in the IDW Publishing comic book series, specifically in an issue where he wore a "reactive armor" that adjusted itself to mimic Starscream's form. Jhiaxus is a redeco and retool of Armada Starscream. There was also a Jhiaxus figure in the "Robots in Disguise" toy line, which is part of what this figure is based on. Jhiaxus has since appeared in the current IDW Publishing comic book series more as a mad scientist type than a General as he was in "Generation 2". Following the cancellation of the original "Transformers" Marvel Comics title, the writers were inspired to make up a character playing on the words "gee axe us" and such a character was introduced in the "Generation 2" comic book (also published by Marvel). The name Jhiaxus was originally a bit of an in-joke. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. Whatever mode your Jhiaxus figure is in, his enemies will think twice before taking him on. When he needs to take the battle to the skies, he can convert to jet mode. This Jhiaxus figure is fierce in robot mode, and he carries a double-fisted blaster attack into battle against Decepticon foes. Convert, arm and attack with all the Transformers action you can handle. To him, they're a bunch of obsolete models who should be replaced by superior beings able to rise above the urges of war. Not for peace, but because he views their battle as a stain upon the universe. Jhiaxus longs to end the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons.
