Off the top of my head:

I kinda dig Vector Prime's sword... then again it's flimsiness totally amuses me and I like the transparent blue color and the design on the hilt.

Generation Blurr's rifle. The thing is nearly as big as him xD And detailed enough to fit well with his design. I think it also adds a certain amount of charm (and character) to the already awesome figure.

TFA Rodimus's bow. Pretty unique weapon for a Transformer. I like it even more because I really enjoyed archery as a kid. One of these days I'll take it up again...

RiD X-Brawn/CarRobots Wildride and his brushguard. That thing's either brass knuckles or a punching axe. Both are awesome.

G1 Shockwave and his arm. Seriously, he lost a hand and gained a cannon.

RotF Bludgeon and his turret swords.

Gen Wreck-Gar's Rim axe.

Grimlock's badassery(okay, not so much the toy, but still)

Ani Arcee's clear pink/red swords.

My favorite transformer with a INTERNAL unique weapons is 1996 Ultra sized Beastwars T-Rex Megatron. the dude is packing serious heat in both arms. one robot arm has this vicious biting T-rex head. the other robot arm has this tail weapon that can slice a robot in pieces or act as a vice grip. both lethal internal robot weapons.

As far as adding to the list of unique & cool External TF weapons goes:

Year 2005 Cybertron voyager size leobreaker & nemesis breaker. that adds a lion arm savage claw weapon to leader sized optimus & megatron.

I really loved G1 Shockwave and Galvatron's light up guns when I was a kid. I also thought Scorponok's orange and black rifle was awesome.

Recently, I think Battle Blades Bumblebee's cannon and DotM leader Sentinel Prime's sword and shield are very well done. DotM BB's mechtech gun, too.

I Like the looks of TF Prime Cliffjumper's hammer weapon

The Cybertron Defense Scattorshot mold has great weapons, that huge deployable missile rack, the flip-out cannon, and particularly his hand-held long rifle. That rifle is really cool, and goes well w/ about any figure you can imagine.

Oil slick with his barrel-and-chain weapon is really unique.

As a related aside, DOTM Shockwave has both hands, but you can fold them up to give that classic one hand/one gun hand look. I know that by now, everyone knows that, but in my opinion it's the single quality example of the dopey mech tech system, because it is all-around class.

On topic, not that they're very good, but Cybertron Brimstone has shoulder/chest swords.
I really like the backpack guns on Classics Jetfire.
I was no fan of the line, but Animated had some cool weapons. I like that one Bulkhead that had the wrecking ball, as it made me think of the Bolt Gundam's weapons.

It's not necessarily cool, but in terms of uniqueness nothing beats Escargon's Love-Love Lancer, a lance that changes a Transformers' gender.

After looking at some of my Transformers on my display shelf today.

I noticed that year 2005 leader sized Metroplex has a really cool,big & unique weapon.

I really love the Alternators/Binaltech guns. their unique & cool because the engine can transform into a Gun. this kinda reminds me of the 1980's "Master" type gimmicks. it sorta feels like the powermasters & targetmasters gimmicks merged and cancelled out the humanoid mode.

Does Jhiaxus know of this?

I like the overall forms of some transformers, which work well with there weapons

Generations Warpath (and in effect G1 warpath) the tank cannon, cheast weapon just fit perfectly with them

RTS Seaspray, how about a scuba equipped robot hovercraft with spear gun weapons - pure class!

G1 Wreck Gar (and in effect generations wreck gar) a bike, with circular axes made out of its wheels! Mint!

To me its the whole piece not just the weapon, as you could have the best weapon in the world, and still be a transforming bunny rabbit.....

Strongarm's axe.

Scorponok's shield and claws.

Skyblast's spear.

The Laser Rod's melee weapons and the wrist mounted guns that Jolt had.

The flip open chest mounted launchers on the Robotmasters Seekers.

The Armada Seekers flip out cannons.

Any Targetmaster, especially Top Heavy. Coolest TF rhino, pity he was partnered with the crap Skyfall. Maybe that's why he was.

Motormaster's sword

Cloudburst's whip.

Overhaul's claws.
