Interesting idea.
Thing is, it has some Cybertronian makings on it. Why would he feel the need to carve those on his invention? Maybe it's something he replicated from the original in order to fool the Decepticons or evil humans?
Either way, there would still have to be an original Cybertonian "gunblade" thing.
Or perhaps something he modified from another Cybertonian artifact, hence the markings?
Why would there need to be an original "gunblade"? Humans have had access to Cybertronain technology for decades. Is it hard to believe that an engineer couldn't adapt their tech into a weapon a human could use?
As for why it has Cybertronain markings there are any number of possibilities. He could have been honoring part of its origins, he could be ocd, the Autobots/Decepticons could have made him, I could be wrong, the materials he obtained could have already had the markings stamped into them. Ect ect.
I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just a theory, time will tell.
No worries, friend! I'm not out to start an argument over theories either.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that a human engineer can't reverse-engineer or modify Cybertronian tech for human uses. In fact, it's the most natural thing to do. That's one of the main premises of AOE, as a matter of fact.
All I'm saying is that it just seems unlikely (NOT impossible; there's a huge difference there) that someone would carve out those symbols there just for the sake of it.

Just to point something out, I
DO in fact agree with this. That's exactly what I said in my last post: "...Or perhaps something he modified from another Cybertonian artifact, hence the markings?"
So yeah, we'll only know for sure once the movie hits theaters next year.
