| This article is about the Decepticon from the 2010 toyline. For the Action Master from Generation 1, see Axer. |
- Axor is a Decepticon from the Transformers (2010 toyline) portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
A former protege of the bounty hunter Lockdown, Axor would like nothing more than to claim the Decepticon bounty on Ratchet. Unlike Lockdown, he prefers to lure his Autobot prey to him by imperiling civilians, rather than seek them out himself. Some have noted his resemblance to his old mentor, and suggest that he had himself rebuilt in Lockdown's image. Axor welcomes the curious to ask him...so he can axe them. In the face. [1]

Sideswipe attempted to take down Axor, switching from swords to guns to give him an edge against the hunter. Sidearm Sideswipe
Axor was spotted in downtown Shanghai. He was racing wildly on his way to a riverside tunnel—a tunnel that, if destroyed, would flood the city with water! Bumblebee went after and defeated him. Hunt for the Decepticons
Toys
Transformers (2010)
- Axor (Deluxe Class, 2010)
- Axor is a retooling of Revenge of the Fallen Lockdown with a new head and colors based on the Generation 1 Action Master Axer. He also has a new axe weapon on his right arm instead of Lockdown's hook. Axor transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy's Mech Alive feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his axe is deployed.
- Like with Lockdown, Axor's arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Ratchet's weapon. In return, Axor's engine can be mounted on Ratchet's roof, but not attached to his arm.
Notes
- Hints of Axor's toy release were found as early as Lockdown's release. His instructions manual's illustrations showed the head that would later be used for Axor, rather than Lockdown's. Even earlier than that, Axor's then-unknown head design was shown alongside the first published concept art of ROTF Lockdown in the 2009 SDCC Hasbro Design Sketchbook Volume 2.
