Transformers War for Cybertron Battle Axe in TFA's hands

We got a request from our Facebook account as to whether or not the Transformers War for Cybertron Optimus Prime Battle Axe we reviewed a few days ago will fit in the hands of a Transformers Animated Series Voyager Class Optimus Prime. I have to admit that it felt a bit weird to realize that someone had assumed that I owned a Transformers Animated Series Voyager Class Optimus Prime, but, yeah I did. So here it is.

Obviously the biggest factor here is size. The Transformers Animated Optimus Prime is more than two heads taller than  the Transformers War for Cybertron Optimus Prime. The two are closer - and in fact look good together - when they are in truck mode.



Happily, yes, the War for Cybertron Optimus Prime Battle Axe does fit nicely into the hands of the Transformers Animated Optimus Prime.

Strangely, Transformers Animated Optimus Prime's own Axe is a tight fit - you can barely squeeze it into his hand. The Transformers War for Cybertron Battle Axe is a looser fit - whereas it can only be held close to the joining points in the case of the Transformers War for Cybetron Optimus Prime, Transformers Animated Optimus Prime can hold the Transformers War for Cybetron Battle Axe close to the hilt as it is held in the video game. 

However I did have difficulty trying to get Transformers Animated Optimus Prime to dual wield the Transformers War for Cybetron Battle Axe because of the sheer size of his chest - till I realized that you can pop his shoulder blades out for better reach. 


Although personally, in this case, I think that the Transformers Animated  Optimus Prime is better served with a dual-headed Battle Axe than a single one.
