- Axer is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 and Robots in Disguise continuity families.
A bounty hunter, Axer gained experience by stalking in the slag swamps of Cybertron for microchip smugglers. He utilizes his Off-Road Cycle for use in bounty hunting.
After a rescue mission into a black hole, Axer ended up... somewhere else, where he joined Galvatron's troops. However, he doesn't particularly like Scourge's leadership of the Decepticons.

Toys
Generation 1
- Axer (Action Blaster Vehicle, 1990)
- A non-transforming robot action figure, Axer does have hints of an alternate mode to his design, possibly some form of off-road car. He came with the Off-Road Cycle, an off-road motorbike with sidecar that can transform into a gun emplacement. The sidecar has a flip-down panel so another Action Master figure can stand on it.
- Axer's figure mold was used to make Circuit.
Robots in Disguise
- Sideways vs Axer (Mega-level 2-pack, 2002)
- Part of a Wal-Mart exclusive 2-pack, Robots in Disguise Axer is a redeco of Generation 2 Laser Cycle Road Pig, transforming into a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide motorcycle. His tailpipe has an LED that lights it up, becoming an arm-mounted weapon in robot mode. This mold is slightly different from the original, using the new-mold handlebars that were made for the Laser Cycles' Japanese Microman release.
- This mold was also used to make Robot Masters Sideways. It was going to be used for Generation 2 Soundwave, but that release was canceled.
Trivia
- Axer was the first Transformers character to cross over physically from one continuity family to another.
- The Axer figure shown 1990 Transformers catalog has different coloring from the final version, but then again, so do most of the Action Master toys shown there.
- Axer's vehicle has multiple names - his instructions and catalog call it an 'Off-Road Cycle', but his tech spec calls it a 'Turbo Cycle'. Note that Action Master Prowl's vehicle was also called a 'Turbo Cycle'.
- In Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye encyclopedia, Axer is explicitly described as having a "rather slow" vehicle mode (distinct from his motorcycle), despite also being an Action Master.
