You'll find more high-res images of the product held by Takara's United Optimus Prime. High-res pictures courtesy of HK-TF member chenkofs. Check 'em out below!

That axe looks really awesome but I think I'm gonna opt for the other 3rd party mod kit where the axe and rifle are extensions of the arm and not hand-held weapons. Just like in the game.

Actually, they really weren't extensions of of their arms, at least on melee weapons. They were all held.

This set is getting very tempting.

This image shows that axe to be not as game-accurate as it seems.

Corbot V used the trailer to develop the axe.

And thank god they did! Looks so much better than the actual in-game one, and a lot better than Xovergen's. Looks awesome in the hands of United Prime.

Agreed. This one looks much better than the symmetrical axe.

The Axe makes the figure, not the other way round

I wanna see how this looks with Voyager Classics Prime, bet it would be beautiful since no one ever made him an axe.

Huh, didn't notice that the trailer and actual game have different axe styles.

That thing looks like a giant Energon fan compared to the one in the trailer. :lol:

See, that actually looks right as far as scale goes. Now I just need to get a Mace from animated Swoop, paint it purple, and give it to Henkei Megatron :grin:
