[[Transformer]]s sometimes use '''axes''' for melee weapons.
==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] wielded an [[Energon-axe]] during a fight against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] on a [[Sherman Dam|kind of important dam]]. Although the original toy did not include this accessory, it became closely associated with the character.
*[[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] (most notably [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Junkyard (G1)|Junkyard]]'s rider) wield axes in the Transformers movie. Wreck-Gar's weapon is called an 'Armor Axe' meaning it probably specializes in splitting armor.

===Beast Wars===
*[[Air Hammer]]'s beast mode tail converts into his robot mode's left arm in what could be best described as an axe-like weapon.

===Beast Machines===
*[[Battle Unicorn]] is armed with an axe.

===Beast Wars Neo===
*[[Mach Kick]]'s tail converts into a hatchet.
*[[Bazooka (BWN)|Bazooka]] is armed with a weapon that can double as an axe or as a blaster, depending on how it is held.

===Unicron Trilogy===
*[[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] generates an axe as an [[energon weapon]]
*[[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]'s tail becomes an axe when he is in robot mode
*[[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]] has his colossal axe [[Sparkdrinker]].

===Live-Action Movie Series===
While Optimus's retractable blade weapon has been interpreted as a [[sword]] rather than an axe in this continuity, the [[Michael Bay|AWESOMENESS]] of axes hasn't been overlooked.
*[[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s toy has a fold-out axe in one forearm (although no fiction to date has depicted him using it).
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] possesses a retractable battle axe for melee combat.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen: The Game]]</ref>
*[[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]'s landing-gear cane converts to an axe.
*[[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]] has an axe as well.
*In [[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], Optimus Prime utilizes a double-edged axe (alongside his sword) in the final battle.

===Transformers Animated===
*[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] uses a rocket-powered axe as a signature weapon and for transport. Before the events of the series, it is shown that this weapon would have been used primarily as a tool rather than a weapon, used to clear rubble and detritus from space bridges. Not that that makes it any less effective in combat.
*[[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s partner, [[Laserbeak (Animated)|Laserbeak]] transforms into an '''axe of rock'''!

===Transformers: Prime===
*In the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War for Cybertron]] video game [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]]'s melee weapon is a large rocket powered axe almost as big as he is. He uses it quite efficiently, violently ripping apart endless Decepticon soldiers.
