One of the few TF Prime figures I want. I dont collect the line, but this mold is just so cool. I also feel with a new head, it could be Jihaxus.

In orange, a retool would make a great Jhiaxus homage:

That too, but I meant this Jhiaxus:



It wouldn't make a difference. The mold is good enough for both.

I meant the Jihaxus in the TFCC magazine comics. He is mostly green with some orange.

im probably alone on this but i thought his green was closer to puke green
and with his current colors they kinda hinder his likeness to his on screen appearances. didnt he have more white and a(slightly) lighter red?
that matte finish though is grade A. looks perfect in that regard.

I want him...

I might be willing to make do with Dreadwing, but I'd much prefer this one.
So far, have seen nothing more than OP and Megatron in the UK.

Granted, he was in a canyon surrounded by lots of brown and tan sand that could have very well been throwing off the lighting of his color scheme with a heavy brownish tint, making his colors look lighter than they are here. Though, this image of him from Hasbro.com looks closer to these colors:

now i think the grey is fine being that they probably wouldnt make it silver at all, however the green should be puke green and bit faded and the red darker. Am i nitpicking, probably.
The toy to me just doesnt look right for some reason. the colors look a bit wrong and un-enjoyable. maybe its the additional scratches the CGI model has that would be almost impossible to replicate onto the toy. i know mass produced figures have this but most dont feel like they are hindered by this as much as Skyquake is. i just cant get behind this figure when i already have dreadwing.

thanks for the Pic though! and no im not trying to ruin the fig or be b**ch im just stating why i dont like the fig.

u just got hasbro 20 bucks.

I am really surprised at how much voyagers my walmart has.
Especially when getting new ones in

My walmart currently has 2 dreadwings, 3 thundertrons, and like 1 ultra magnus.

Not to mention bulkhead megatron optimus and starscream.

But I still haven't seen a vehicon or airachnid.
Nor any combaticon.
The stores around me suck with deluxes I guess.

Cause all I see is cliffy and knockouts

Green? Got a pic?

Not all green, but can you see a few similarities in the body shape ? I think a new head and maybe some orange clip on armor could make him look like this TFCC Jihaxus. Just my opinion.

Not all green

From these pics, the only green I spot is in the shoulders and cockpit with some on the head. Otherwise, he's generically golden-orange & white, as opposed to the "mostly green" comment made earlier.

Hey I dont keep the comics memorized in my head. But dont you feel the body style is similar ? I could see him on a classics shelf with a head that looks lesh "Primish".

I think this mold would fit better:

That would be "Beast Machines Returns" Jetstorm. He was a TRU exclusive in Japan.

Yep, and he was the same mold used in the US by Hasbro for Sonic Attack Jet and several other characters, including Jhiaxus.

I mis-matched the description with the BMR Ultra Class figure, when the mold shown was the Deluxe.

"Beast Machines" = English version
"Beast Wars Returns" = Japaense version

In any case, the picture of Deluxe Jetstorm on the last page was the original Deluxe released by Hasbro for the Beast Machines line. I think that's what we're trying to say, to prevent confusion.

This mold was redecoed into Jhiaxus for the RiD line.

Both the deluxe and ultra Jetstorms are absolutely GREAT toys by the way, and I'd recommend both molds all day to anyone who likes jetformers and metallic blue paint jobs.

Yeah, I know it was the Deluxe. I went researching for more info on it and came back with another figure's run-up.
