Axel

This article is about the live-action movie series Decepticon. For the Energon Mini-Con, see Axle.

I'm a completely original character, like X-Brawn, Shockblast, and Rob Liefeld's Supreme!

Axel is a Decepticon from the live-action film series (via the Speed Stars line).

Axel is some guy. He's somewhat reminiscent of Axor.

Toys

Speed Stars

• Axel (Mini Vehicle, 2011?)
  • Series: Stunticon Series
  • Number:

A redeco of Speed Stars Lockdown, Axel is a small, non-transforming, die-cast car resembling a spiky amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar. His robot mode is sculpted underneath the vehicle, and his wheels use through-axle construction that lets the toy zip around at high speeds on smooth surfaces.

End of the road. This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• When Axel was first revealed during a toy showcase at BotCon 2010, his name was in fact given as Axor. The Speed Stars website later named him Axel, but the reason for this change is unknown. Confusing matters more, a packaging art render later surfaced on the Indigo Studios website of a Speed Stars Lockdown redeco essentially bearing Axor's normal color layout... which means it looks nothing like the previously revealed Speed Stars Axor/Axel. Like a lot of what went on with Speed Stars, the true answer will probably remain unknown.
