I saw a prototype last Saturday, the piece was very nice, and the final version should be even better.

That is AWESOME, but please tell me they'vee given some consideration to where Prime can stick his Axe...

er, in vehicle mode. Otherwise, I'm not fond of random loose prop.

I'm not entirely certain yet that I want to invest a lot of extra capital into the WFC subline of figures.

Yes it looks awesome, but there's only 5 figures coming out that we know of and I'm not sure that's enough for me to keep that line.

We shall see thoguh.

It is a nice axe.

You must have HATED G1 then.

Did everyone use a Ziploc bag for all your TF weapons in the old days? I think we needed two of the gallon ones...(sigh)...

...damn I'm getting old.

Oh, back on topic...WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT IS SICK!

It's very nice item but it's not worth the $345621345 it'll cost.

meh. Nice axe, but it's elaborate details don't go too well with a plainly painted figure.

Sweet jesus That is gorgeous!!!!

Posted by Torneira on September 14th, 2010 @ 4:01am CDT

Sure it's nice, but what I can't understand is why they didn't release the axe to go along with this figure in the first place?

Re: Introducing 3rd Party Corbot V and the War Axe! (1124593)
Posted by AutobotMR2 on September 14th, 2010 @ 4:27am CDT

Honestly, it might be because they couldn't get a good mold of it with that plastic that they have had to use with Bludgeon's and Drift's sword, so they just left it out. That's the only reason I can think of once agian because of those wonderful child safety laws.

I think I just wet myself as soon as I saw the Axe, it's so badass-looking and scary.... :lol:

Venksta final product looks awesome, can't wait to own it!!!

Posted by WolfDawg on September 14th, 2010 @ 6:31am CDT

Looks awesome, and considering the fact that WFC Megatron holds MP Megatron's Mace so well, it works out perfectly.

Posted by Counterpunch on September 14th, 2010 @ 6:44am CDT

I don't think it looks that good really.

I hope that's not the final version.

Badass Battle Axe is Badass.

No, honestly, i think it is a tad oversized, but i know that`s the supposing. But how much will it appromaxtly cost?

axe looks big concern does it go anwhere in truck mode, it does look bit oversized for him will this company do the same with other figures in the same toyline soundwave & megatron dont have weapons

you want to talk about child saftely laws gijoe, starwas, powerrangers, many more weapons are more dangerous than making prime figure with short smokestacks those weapons for those figure are made of plastic not soft rubber as drift sword & gijoe comes with many weapons babys could swallow them & choke, gijoe weapons on there vehicals they could shoot there eye out with spring loaded missles or sharp pointy guns & swords of theres that come with figures or there tanks & role playing weapons are far more dangerous than little plastic axe to the eye such as this here.

this would be great if WFC optimus's perportions werent WAY off, he's on par with energon optimus prime IMHO #-o

VERY nice axe! I like it a lot.

Re: Introducing 3rd Party Corbot V and the War Axe! (1124673)
Posted by r3devi7 on September 14th, 2010 @ 9:41am CDT

I like the idea, but I would like a weapons add on set. Fusion cannon, null ray, rocket launcher...

Posted by Joker'sRequiem on September 14th, 2010 @ 9:41am CDT

The axe looks good, but it just makes me wish I had a larger WFC Prime to get it for. The Deluxe is a great figure, but is VERY undersized when Bumblebee is almost his height. But depending on the price, I might consider getting it anyways, because with WFC it might make a pretty good display piece.

holy crap yes I want this it looks so awesome it looks spot on as well

SWEET!!!

I can't wait for this. I hope this means they will do a lazorbeak, frenzy, or rumble, for WFC Soundwave in the near future.

Re: Introducing 3rd Party Corbot V and the War Axe! (1124679)
Posted by kirbenvost on September 14th, 2010 @ 10:19am CDT

I too have seen the prototype in person. It definitely looks sweet, but I doubt I'll be getting it, because I've actually never been a fan of the whole Prime+axe thing. I'll stick to the gun.

Hello. I'm mechaphile and I'm normally a lurker but I decided to post for once:

For those that dislike the 'plainly painted' WFC Optimus, Reprolabels has a decal set that makes the piece closer to the paint job in the video game. I have already purchased the set (it comes with decals for Bumblebee as well) and if this waraxe is affordable, I think it would look awesome!

I tweren't alive for G1, but I have enough Ziplocs of "Hey, a missile (or loose gun or...)! Now, where and who do you belong to?"

Why are people asking for a fusion cannon? Megs has one does he not? He IS a weapon.

Megatron's Fusion Cannon attaches with a clip system unique to Megs. People want a post Fusion Cannon so that OP and others may use it. Honestly, I agree that it would be cool to get a nice assortment of the guns available in game.

I just hope this dosen't end up like the Axe for Animated Prime!

I would think a Cybertronian figure should be weilding guns. It was cool once in a blue moon to have a robot with blades or an axe. But now it is getting so played out. I personally got into Transformers because I saw them as the anti-super hero toy of choice. Kind of like an alternitve action figure for those who did not like traditional tights wearing, battle axe weilding, characters. So needless to say, I think this axe looks ridiculous. Plus it probally costs as much as 2 figures.

Sorry, unlike yourself, we haven't been trapped in a cave for the past year. Transformers: War For Cybertron has this and IT DOESN'T LOOK RIDICULOUS, it's part of the game, and since when have Transformers toys been going gun-less. Also your opinion doesn't designate whether something's cool or not. It's honestly boring if every Transformer toy comes with a gun - and the figure already did. Yeah, so what if it costs more than two figures. These guys aren't Hasbro.

Optimus Prime had an axe on the first episode of Tranformers. If anything, this War Axe isn't "played out", it's paying homage to the source character and staying true to the fiction's roots.

Re: Introducing 3rd Party Corbot V and the War Axe! (1124876)
Posted by Rodimus the Prime on September 14th, 2010 @ 9:04pm CDT

Yup, I'd agree with that!

This is so flippin sweet looking man! Man, I really hope they make Megatron's mace too!!

Posted by Doctor McGrath on September 15th, 2010 @ 3:05am CDT

I was wondering when a cybertron axe was gonna pop up. Very cool looking and fits the toy well. Unfortunately, I have too many things on my wish list ahead of this axe.

Posted by Artakha Prime on September 15th, 2010 @ 4:16am CDT

Uhm, didn`t Optimus have a dual-bladed axe?
