Actually, originally he only used a laser blaster. It wasn't until G2's 1995 Laser Optimus Prime that he got his first melee weapon: a "saber weapon", i.e. a sword.

That doesn't look like an axe to me.

Didn't he use a sword in the first movie? I haven't really followed them but I thought he always used a sword in the films. I'm not super familiar with the Transformers cartoons.

Does anyone remember how optimistic Optimus was until the fourth Transformers movie came along?
He was really pissed off at the humanity in that movie and it has only gotten worse in this new one.

Optimus Primal had dual swords.

correct, sort of. one arm had a sword, the other had an axe. both arms have a hook looking weapon, too. or at least they did for exactly one scene in the 2nd or 3rd movie.

it wasn't until the last movie that he got an actual sword instead of one that pops out of his arm like edward elric

I enjoy the Transformer series as a whole but probably watched more of the Beast Wars series than the original cartoon series. Kinda lost interest around Beast Machines though only for my interest to return with Transformers Prime.

Funny you mention that. I was really confuse when some college friends kept referring to Pacman on Facebook. I kept wondering why they're referring to a game from the 80's until I found out that was Manny Pacquiao's nickname of sort.

probably because it was all new writers and they were forbidden to watch the old stuff to get an idea about the characters.

If you want to know the practical reason it's probably because they wanted to mix in melee and close range weapon combat into the movie instead of it being only long range gun fights and a sword is a more iconic weapon than an axe.

The only thing qorse then axes are maces. Flails are slightly above both because the chain is badass, besides that they are the lowest of the weapons. Swords are way better. That's not saying that there can't be cool axes but a majority of them are garbage.

Optimus has used both axe and sword in the movie series. Heck even both at the same time.
