This article is about a type of melee weapon. For the Animorphs character, see Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill.
Speak softly and carry a big old axe.

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.

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

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

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.
  • Soundwave's partner, Laserbeak transforms into an axe of rock!

Transformers: Prime

  • In the War for Cybertron video game 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.
