Energon weapon

This article is about the weapons created by the Omnicons and Terrorcons in the Energon series. For other Energon weapons, see Energon weapon (disambiguation).

Let me axe you this.

The Omnicons and Terrorcons were capable of creating powerful energon weapons made from processed energon ore. The weapons appear out of energon stars. Once the user uses up the star's energon, the weapon becomes useless.

Fiction

Energon cartoon

Skyblast and Strongarm supplied Optimus Prime and Ironhide with energon weapons to help them defend against a Terrorcon attack on Desert City. Ironhide complained that it wasn't a cannon but Optimus was pleased with the extra weapon. Ironhide used his once before he ran out of energon and it disappeared. Later, he used another energon star to summon another weapon and used it to destroy several Divebomb drones. Scorpinok

Toys

What, no energon Frankenstein rakes?

Each Omnicon and Terrorcon mold came with a unique weapon, made up from multiple parts to serve multiple purposes.

In Japan, Takara took the molds for these weapons and produced numerous special redecoes for promotional purposes, often available for free with the purchase of larger toys. They also packaged new-color versions with the "powered up" redecoes of different characters in the normal retail line.

Hasbro would later create some exclusive energon weapons of their own, but in a much more limited capacity.

Most exclusive energon weapons did not come with energon chips. Any that did are specifically mentioned below. The weapons from the Battle Ravage and Arcee molds were not made into special redecos, as not only did they require spring-loaded assembly, but their missiles and triggers were part of a different mold-sprue.
