:''The Armored Weapons Platform is a kick-ass piece of hardware from the [[live-action film series]] continuity.
[[Image:Dotmgame trailer.jpg|thumb|400px]]
[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[trailer]] can convert into an '''Armored Weapons Platform''' and the wearable '''Omega Combat Armor''', which is also known as '''Flight Tech'''.

It's kinda awesome.

==Fiction==
===Live-action film series===
Optimus Prime took his trailer with him on a investigative mission to the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]]. When [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his [[Driller]] attacked, the trailer transformed into a weapons bay from which Prime retrieved an [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]] and a shield.

[[Image:DOTM-Wreckers-Prime-Cables.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Wreckers! Get the wire cutters!"]]
Optimus later took the trailer with him for the [[Autobot|Autobots']] staged exile from [[Earth]], and then to the city of [[Chicago]], which had been fortified by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. As they rolled into the city, the Driller attacked once more, separating Prime from the trailer. Eventually, he was able to reach it, and equipped himself with the jetpack and large weapons stored inside. With the additional power granted by his jetpack, he punched through the Driller that was assaulting [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]], [[Carly Spencer|Carly]], [[Robert Epps|Epps]], and his soldiers, killing it. Enraged by the destruction of his pet, Shockwave shot at Optimus from the street and Optimus fell through a nearby unfinished building, with he and his jetpack getting caught up in the wires of a construction crane. The [[Wreckers]] eventually freed him. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

====(Xbox 360/PS3)====
Optimus Prime took his trailer with him on the assault of the Decepticon base in [[Siberia]]. When he eventually found [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Prime used the trailer to smash his opponent. The trailer then transformed into a weapons bay, from which Optimus retrieved a chainsaw, a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, and four Energon Armor Field Generators. After the Field Generators were destroyed, this equipment then transformed into a flight pack. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

*'''Optimus Prime / Armored Weapons Platform''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, missile launcher, [[NEST]]

:This release of [[Cyberverse]] Optimus Prime comes with a clip on trailer, sporting movie-style Autobot emblems, that can transform into a “Battle Base”/Strike Base and an “Assault Vehicle”/Mechanical Exosuit. Several Mech Tech ports are available on the trailer, and the removable missile launcher has handles for it to be held by smaller Cyberverse figures as well as a 5mm post for it to attach to larger figures.

:The Battle Base [[stock photo]]s and instructions oddly do not match. The stock photos show a different configuration, with the trailer panels facing forward and not being connected to the sides of the "turret". Also, the cannon itself is connected upside-down onto the turret base's hinge instead of being pegged right-side up onto the base's peg-hole, and the base of the turret is lowered enough that Optimus has to kneel to man the cannon. The picture seen to the right depicts the configuration of the instructions.

:Thanks to the fortuitous position of the base connectors on the trailer sides, said panels can connect for a pair of makeshift wings for the base if so desired.

:Like other action sets, Optimus Prime comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it's the human-sized [[AllSpark]] containment room in [[Diego Garcia]], with three soldiers guarding said [[sacred implement]]. With Optimus being dwarfed by the soldiers, it should not be necessary to mention that this is ''extremely'' out-of-[[scale]].

:This [[retool]] of Hasbro's Voyager Optimus Prime toy includes his 'MechTech Trailer', which opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck]]'s upright mode). The trailer features storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class Autobots.

:This version of the trailer transforms into the colossal Omega Combat Armor, featuring nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings for Optimus to combine with. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partsformer|partsforming]], although this, along with stability concerns, render the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation. The trailer on its own has twelve 5mm ports, while transforming it into the armor adds six 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has its own pair of 5mm fist holes.

Dual Energon Swords

2011-11-17T03:03:06Z

69.115.77.202: /* Transformers (2007) movie */

[[Image:ROTF Prime blades.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Can we say "Mother!"]]
Now, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] may thoroughly believe his credo of "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", but he tends to revoke that in the case of the [[Decepticon]]s. Thus, when entering combat, Prime will use his [[ion blaster]], his [[barrage cannon]], his [[Energon Hooks]], and his '''Dual Energon Swords'''<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bios at Hasbro.com]</ref> to their fullest effect. Possessing one on each arm, he charges the swords, also known as '''battle blades'''<ref name="ROTFMU"> [[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref>, via a quantum electric generator with a max yield of one thousand degrees Celsius and a burn rate of five kilojoules per second.<ref name="ROTFMU"/>

This makes it a pretty handy weapon. Especially if you have a preference for [[decapitation|going after your enemy's face]].

==Fiction==

===Transformers (2007) movie===
[[Image:Movie2007 Prime sword.jpg|thumb|left|250px|If in the first movie he had one, and in the second movie he had two, then in the third movie, he...ah... gets an axe!!!!]]
While escorting the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] to [[Mission City]], Prime and the [[Autobot]]s were set upon by the Decepticons [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], the latter of whom went to robot mode on the freeway to confront the Autobots. [[Transformation|Transforming]] himself, Optimus engaged Bonecrusher in a short but fierce battle, with the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] punching Bonecrusher off an overpass with sufficient force to knock out one of his optics. Partially blind and more enraged than usual, Bonecrusher began wildly swinging his tail claw, but Optimus ducked behind a support pole and unsheathed his right Energon Sword. Using it to full effect, Optimus sliced off Bonecrusher's arm and then jammed the sword through the Decepticon's neck, decapitating him. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTF Optimus vs Grindor.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Roses are red'' ''violets are blue'' ''This poem doesn't rhyme'' '''NOW GIVE ME YOUR FACE!''']]
While trying to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]] from the Decepticons, Optimus was forced into a three-on-one battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. After having his mouth plate shattered, Optimus unsheathed the Dual Energon Swords, slicing and dicing his would-be destroyers Starscream and Grindor, repeatedly impaling the former and relieving the latter Decepticon of his right arm, rotors, and ribs using his swords before throwing the right blade into his chest, and removing his head using a set of hooks.

Later, after Optimus Prime was resurrected by [[Matrix of Leadership]] and combined with the parts of [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], he worked his way through the floating ring of debris surrounding the [[Star Harvester]] to reach Megatron and [[The Fallen]]. The battle between them was short, with Optimus slicing off Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] arm with his remaining Energon Sword before sending him flying through some ruins, and ended with Optimus slicing off The Fallen's chin (and several fingers) with the blade and proceeding to ''tear off his face'' with The Fallen's own staff. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
Optimus first used his blade, handheld, after retrieving it from his [[trailer]] along with his shield. [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] fled the area with his pet [[Driller]], causing Optimus to simply discard his sword until later.

During the Decepticon invasion of [[Chicago]], Optimus swooped in with his [[Armored Weapons Platform|flight tech]], took Driller head on with machine guns, and decapitated the creature with his sword while flying by. Later on, he swooped on to the battlefield in a different area, impaling and tossing the [[Audi R8 Decepticon]] and slicing a [[protoform]] in half. He proceeded with the charge down the street, and took out a [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] and a protoform with both of his swords drawn. He then used one in his fight against [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] with an [[Energon-axe|axe]] in hand as well, but both weapons were destroyed. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
*'''Optimus Prime Battle Mode''' (Leader Class, 2008)

:The first Movie Optimus Prime ''toy'' to feature the Energon Sword was the [[Hasbro]] "Premium" release of [[Size class|Leader class]] Optimus Prime and [[TakaraTomy]]'s Optimus Prime Battle Mode, both of which were extensive [[redeco]]s and minor [[retool]]s in an attempt for greater accuracy. Additionally, the [[Ion blaster]] was replaced by the Energon Sword (here called the "energy sword"), which, through the [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]], flips from Optimus's forearm to cover his fist, after which the blade can be slid out of his scabbard. Due to its tacked-on nature, the design of the sword and the mechanism for its deployment aren't very accurate to the depiction in the movie.

*'''Jetpower Optimus Prime''' (Leader 2-pack, 2009)
*'''Optimus Prime Limited Clear Color Edition''' (Leader, 2010)

:By the time ''Revenge of the Fallen'' rolled around, Hasbro/TakaraTomy had integrated the Energon Swords into Optimus Prime's arm design, resulting in a much more accurate depiction of the weapons. Triggered by a switch on the inner sides of his forearms, two Energon Swords flip out of the outer sides of his arms.

:The main drawcard of this extensive repaint of the Voyager class Optimus Prime toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' toyline is the [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] armour one can attach to him, but he also features a Energon Sword one can attach to his left arm whilst combined with the Jetfire parts.

:Number 30 in the [[Revoltech]] Sci-Fi series, this non-transforming Optimus Prime is sculpted to resemble his [[Dark of the Moon]] appearance. His Energon sword (and the other weapons) can attach to several points on his body, or combine with the other weapons to form one giant unwieldy supergun.

{{comingsoontoy}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
*The inclusion of the Energon Sword in the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie was made after Hasbro/TakaraTomy's toy designs had been locked down, which is why the Optimus Prime toys released during the movie's run lacked the prominently featured melee weapon.
*Optimus's hand is visible underneath his sword when he begins slicing off The Fallen's face, making his toys show-accurate in this respect.
*Optimus holds his blade(s) in Dark of the Moon, rather than being equipped to his forearm. They also appear to be stored in his trailer as seen in the begininng of the film when he retrieves it from the trailer along with his shield.
