Dear group, I am a bit of a sword fetishist and I love sword wielding robots and was wondering if anyone has ever put together a complete list of all the sword wielding transformers toys? I bought a misb g1 springer 9 years ago because he weilded swords and I think the fact that the predacons weild swords increase my love for them.
Comp, that's a short list. Anyways, this ain't complete, but it's a few. Vector Prime, Cybertron Optimus Prime leader, ROTF Optimus Prime Robot Replica, ROTF Bumblebee, Transformers movie 07, Concept Camaro Sideswipe, ROTF Animated Leader Megatron, Shadow Commander, Fansproject (I'm not sure if the D.I.A one has it, don't have that one) Jazz, Transformers Movie 07 Bludgeon ROTF (Okay, that one isn't even out yet.) Animated Grimlock G1 Grimlock Masterpiece Grimlock I'll post more I can think of.
G1 Grimlock G1 Slag G1 Sludge G1 Snarl G1 Swoop G1 Motormaster G1 Menasor G1 Razorclaw G1 Predaking BW Optimus Primal
Ones that haven't been mentioned yet... -Any of the G2 Laser Rods -Laser Prime and his recolors as Magnus and RiD Scourge/Nemesis Prime -Cybertron CD Hot Shot and any of his recolors (Uni. Roadbuster) -Alternity Megatron -Animated Samurai Prowl There's probably more I can't think of right now.
this is going to be a near impossible task without some sort of ultimare resource like TFU.info (which happens to be down at the moment). For the sake of clarity you probably aught to make it obvious what does and doesn't qualify as a sword for this venture. Does Classic's Grimlocks sword-gun count? Does Animated cyb. mode Megatron's cannon with sword do-hickeys on it count? Do ROTF Dirtboss' tonfa arms count? There's so many factors here that it's going to make things even more complicated very quickly.
The only thing I would count as a sword is if the weapon is long and bladlike and if it can be setached from the hand. Gun swords dont count.
all the g1 dinos grand max and japanese fort max animated megatron samurai prowl mp-05 g1 blitzwing road caesar star saber shadow commander g1 razorclaw g1 divebomb g1 tantrum g1 rampage g1 headstorn bw dinobot uni dinobot tm rhinox bat primal pretender splashdown bw primal motomaster/menasor g2 laser rods laser prime rid scourge pretender landmine bw grimlock bw thrustol night glider g1 snaptrap/piranacon submarauder terrorsaur bw2 god neptune pretender skullgrin weirdwolf bw silverbolt and skywarp armada starscream mp grimlock that's all i know off the top of my head

Using our resources section: G1 - Barrage Blitzwing Divebomb Grimlock Headstrong Landmine Motormaster Rampage Razorclaw Skullgrin Slag Sludge Snaptrap Snarl Springer Submarauder Swoop Tantrum Weirdwolf G2 - Electro Grimlock Grimlock (Dark Blue) Grimlock (Turquoise) Jolt Optimus Prime (Laser) Sizzle (Laser Rod) Slag Slag (Green) Slag (Red) Snarl Snarl (Green) Snarl (Red) Volt Volt, Sizzle, Jolt and Electro also had European versions with unique bios. Beast Wars - Depth Charge Dinobot (10th Anniversary) Dinobot Dinobot (Fox Kids) Grimlock Jawbreaker Magnaboss (& Silverbolt in the same set) Night Glider Optimus Primal (10th Anniversary) Optimus Primal (Ape) Optimus Primal (Bat) Tripredacus (Ram Horn, Sea Clamp, Cicadacon) Some others, like Rhinox, had weapons that could be considered swords, or hooks, depending on your perspective. Beast Machines - Cheetor Cheetor (Supreme) Cheetor (Night Slash) Dinotron Magmatron Snarl Skydive Robots in Disguise - Dark Scream Scourge X-Brawn X-Brawn (Super Redeco) You may also want to count Sideburn, who wields a small gun that can be held like a knife. Armada - Sideswipe Skywarp with Thunderclash Starscream with Swindle Thundercracker with Zapmaster Megatron has a knife in his arm (same for Galvatron). There's also the Star Saber Minicons, who turn into a giant sword. I suggest aiming for the Japanese Hot Rod with Minicons pack from Micron Legend - since he was the bearer of the Star Saber for a brief while, and technically he comes with a sword. Energon - Cruellock Doom-lock Galvatron Insecticon Megatron Starscream Starscream (Energon) Super Link, the Japanese version of the line, has Kicker, who comes with a smaller version of the Energon Saber. For that matter, the giftset version also comes with a smaller Megatron sword as well. Also, the aforementioned Energon Saber Minicons. Cybertron - Brakedown Brakedown GTS Hot Shot (Cybertron Defense) Scrapmetal Scrapmetal (Yellow) Snarl Vector Prime with Safeguard Mini-Con Vector Prime (Galaxy Force) Wing Saber Movie - Autobot Jazz Autobot Jazz (Allspark Power) Autobot Jazz (Premium Edition) Optimus Prime (Premium Edition) Wingblade Wreckage Concept Bumblebee's gun conceals a blade. You might want to check out him and his many redecos. RotF - Decepticon Bludgeon (Two Pack) Decepticon Bludgeon Drift Mindwipe Optimus Prime Smokescreen Animated - Arcee Grimlock Grimlock (Goldfire) Megatron Megatron (Battle Begins) Megatron (Shadow Blade) Alternators - Grimlock Wheeljack Universe - Autobot Ratchet Depth Charge Frostbite Oil Slick Optimus Primal Ramjet with Terradive, Thunderwing, Gunbarrel and Thunderclash Snarl Treadshot Universe 2 - Autobot Roadbuster Dinobot Vector Prime Titanium 6 Inch - Cheetor Grimlock Botcon & TFCC Exclusives - Alpha Trion Leozack Megatron Onyx Primal Piranacon Skyquake Springer Japanese Items - Headmasters - Fortress Maximus Masterforce - Dauros Gilmer Grand Maximus Metalhawk Lander Turtler Victory - Blacker Braver Laster Star Saber Victory Saber Beast Wars Neo - Hardhead Killerpunch Longrack Sharp Edge Car Robots - God Fire Convoy Giftset Alternity - Megatron feat. Nissan Fairlady Z Kissplay - Convoy E-Hobby - Overcharge Masterpieces - Grimlock Not an exhaustive list - a lot of characters with swords built into them (Cheetor, CATScan) won't be listed (since they're not individual parts) Good luck completing your sword-bot collection!
