Mace (weapon)

This article is about the melee weapon. For the human from Star Wars, see Mace Windu.

Transformers sometimes use maces for melee weapons. A mace with the head connected to the handle by a cord or chain is typically called a flail.

Beast Wars

Optimus Primal's Ultra Class gorilla toy possessed a (totally metal) skull-shaped flail that could be stored in his left arm. Said weapon was not used for his cartoon appearances. Although, when he was later upgraded to a Transmetal, he possessed two maces, accessible in both robot mode and flight mode, (depicted as capable of deflecting laser blasts) and converted into a dual-cannon harness in robot mode. Said body's toy could also use these maces as ammo for his hand-held firearm.

Rhinox's chainguns of doom seemed to have been originally conceived as twin flails on a rotating mechanical handle.

2007 Movie

This Megatron had a retractable mace in his right arm. He first deployed it to smash the equipment in his containment hangar out of the way. When a puny fleshling refused to hand over the cube, Megatron demonstrated the foolishness of this response by using his mace to smash the concrete statue the human was holding onto for dear life.Transformers

In the console game, Megatron can use his mace to send enemies flying (PS2 controls: hold L2 + Square). In the final cinematic moments, he uses his mace to kill Optimus Prime. Transformers The Game
