The axe clips onto the back and the bull bar thing attaches inside the back panel, but very loosely. And there's no way for OP to hold it like a weapon. Would've been nice if the back panel were on a 5mm peg that could detach and be used as a shield, but no... it's riveted in place. :/
Axe

This is OP's only weapon.
Matrix

The fists have grooves that allow him to hold the Matrix without needing to be able to open/close the fists. I think this is a pretty neat feature.

Truck mode without the bling

I'm really not a fan of this truck mode. There's a big gap in the middle of the truck cabin and the fists are exposed (they don't fold in nor are they concealed). Parts of the toy can be a bit tricky to tab in. Pretty underwhelming.

Overall: Underwhelming. Recommended only if you're looking to collect TF One Optimus Prime, and even then, look at the mainline options.
