Transformers: Generation 2
Unlike most of the notable characters in the Transformers comics, Jhiaxus is not based on a toy. Originally created for Marvel's Generation 2 comic series, the character was named in reaction to the unrealistic sales expectations the publisher put on writer Simon Furman, and is a pun on the phrase "gee, axe us", anticipating the short life of the series.
Hasbro registered the name Jhiaxus for U.S. Trademark in October 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
