I was bored and was thinking about possible repaints of Classics figures and seeing as the only Jhiaxus figure ever released was a pretty bad Beast Machines repaint for RID I did some photoshopping...

G2 comic Jhiaxus...

I'm sure someone with more talent could come up with an even better paint scheme but you get the jist of the idea. I'd love to see this character get a decent figure. Anyone up for the challenge?

what he really needs is a custom head, based on a cross between starscream, and a zaku from gundam -

He'd make a nice Botcon/TFCC exclusive. They should probably remold the head though, but then they do that quite a bit with their exclusives.

I was thinking more along the lines of Magmatron's head.

Coincidentally, I always thought Armada Jetfire could be repainted into the most convincing Jhiaxus. I've been gathering parts for that for years, mostly stuff to modify Armada Overload's head into his, but I want to get some more basic customs under my belt before attempting.

Still, I'd love to see your repaint in execution, as I never thought a toy that sleek and angular could look that much like Jhiaxus in the right colors.
