...except Armada Megatron and Prime Skyquake from barely 2 days ago.

Oh my god, the Fort Max I would actually buy? You're a genius.

Lol, gotta go fix that

I saw a Dragstrip on the pegs yesterday and I said to myself....I said self what if puts out a impressive box set....? Who's to say this WON'T come to pass....?

So I've waited this long for a good representation of the Stunticons post Combiner Wars I can wait some more....'nuff said!

Considering that Motormaster is commander class, I doubt there will be a box set of the Stunticons.

For those who have Siege Soundwave, would it be worth getting the Legacy version? I have the Netflix version, but unfortunately many of the grey parts have started turning yellow. I'll probably never be able to get another Netflix Soundwave, so I don't know if I should:
A) have a go at restoring the one I have by painting over the yellowing parts.
B) swap it out for Legacy Soundwave (has yellwoing plastic ever been reported on the Siege version to anyone's knowledge?)
C) wait to see if the Netflix version becomes available again one day, that new Buzzworthy Bumblebee set with the Volkswageb Beetle mould for Goldbug has renewed my hope for this, as it means Wal-Mart have lost exclusivity for at least one retool and could also lose Soundwave soon.
or D) hang fire and wait to see if Hasbro brings out a new Soundwave without the Netflix version's problems.

SS69 tell that you're wrong on that one.

It's a 50/50 shot, but with it's potentially high price the venue and production number will be very limited, I can assure you.

Oh, no doubts. SS69 was available only at select online stores so a Legacy Stunticons set would be the same for sure.

The moment I read "high price" this came to mind.....





and this old boy was not cheap. I wonder what the numbers sold were retail?

Anyway my waiting begins and thanks for that reminder Kanrabat!

Speaking of VERY high price...


(CLICK HERE for the rest of the gallery!)

I paid an arm and a leg for this but I'm sure the original price was pretty costly even at the time it originally came out.

As long as they do right by him and not make him something like a green G1 Megatron with just a new head and new shoulder kibble.

Great review. Not feeling him at all. I have no attachment to him as a character. Though I do wonder who they are going to retool him into exactly?

Also, for those in the know is not pronounced Gee-axus. or Jai-axus?

Thanks.

I really like that Jiaxus overall. The legs transformation is pretty nice too. Only fault is the huge hollow space under the cockpit. A weird design choice but still. I expect a 3D printed piece that will fill this up and act as a shield for bot mode.

Story goes that Furman anticipated the G2 comic not lasting long so he named the main villain of the story after his and the rest of the comic team's eminent firing ("gee, axe us").

Must have missed then. Whoops

Great character, really stupid name.

While not available at US retail yet, Transformers Legacy Jhiaxus has been found online through e-bay vendors and even at collector retail in Singapore and Toysrus in Taiwan by Nimama. He and the Seige Soundwave rerelease are what make up wave 2 for voyagers. We have a few reviews from fellow Seibertronians to share with you.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Every so often Hasbro will go deep and pull out a character that really hasn't had representation in toy form, in Legacy there giving this treatment to Jhiaxus. Created during the G2 comic era, Jhiaxus has seen representation in toy form, but those were repaints/retools of other characters. This Voyager Class release is the best representation of Jhiaxus from the comics we've seen. Transformation is very intuitive with a few interesting bits, I was quite pleased to see that the figure didn't have a fake cockpit. If you're a fan of the G2 era then Jhiaxus is a must-purchase.
