| This article is about a type of melee weapon. For the Andalite Animorph, see Ax. |
Transformers sometimes use axes for melee weapons.
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
- Optimus Prime wielded an Energon-axe during a fight against Megatron on a kind of important dam. Although the original toy did not include this accessory, it became closely associated with the character.
- Junkions (most notably Wreck-Gar and 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.
- In the war for Cybertron video game Optimus Prime wields a large rocket powered axe almost as big as he is quite efficiently, violently ripping apart multiple decepticon drones in the teaser trailer.
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 is armed with a weapon that can double as an axe or as a blaster, depending on how it is held.
Unicron Trilogy
- Strongarm generates an axe as an energon weapon
- Scourge's tail becomes an axe when he is in robot mode
- 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 AWESOMENESS of axes hasn't been overlooked.
- Ratchet's toy has a fold-out axe in one forearm (although no fiction to date has depicted him using it).
- Bumblebee possesses a retractable battle axe for melee combat.[1]
- Jetfire's landing-gear cane converts to an axe.
- Crosshairs has an axe as well.
Transformers 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.
