His jet mode cockpit has a spring-loaded extension, giving him a bird-like head in this form that is articulated at the neck to "search" for targets. Both jet androbot modesfeature spring-loaded "energy blast" missiles. He also has an alternate robot mode, which folds his legs into a "flight cone" and reveals jet thrusters.

His toy art and instructions also show the robot mode wingtips swept forward, as shown here; this contrasts with theUniverseart above.

Notes
- Originally, theRobots in DisguiseJhiaxus toy was perceived as a new form of Generation 1 continuity family Jhiaxus, as a3H club magazine profileutilized the RID toy for a Jhiaxus hailing froma Marvel G2-style universe.However due to an art error, the Jhiaxus who appears inUniverse#2is drawn in the G2 design whileUniverse#3uses the RID design (albeit miscolored) for the same scene. Years later, the Facebook version ofAsk Vector Primewould utilize this error to firmly establish aRobots in Disguiseversion of Jhiaxus and that there were 2 Jhiaxuses in that scene. Due to the body alterations in theUniversestoryline, though, it remains unclear which Jhiaxus appeared at which exact moment.
