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!

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

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!

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 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.

Yup, I'd agree with that!

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

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.
