The Axalon is a Maximal exploration vessel, and later serves as the base for the Maximals during most of the Beast Wars.
Fiction
Animated continuity
Beast Wars
When Megatron's band of Predacon criminals stole the Golden Disk and their ship the Darkside, it was the only ship close enough with the Transwarp engines needed to pursue him.
Her crew at the start of the Beast Wars appears to have been newly assembled and the captain, Optimus Primal, was new to command. However, the Axalon itself had already been in service for at least a while. The Beast Machines-era Dinobot Airraptor once served aboard her before the Beast Wars as interplanetary surveyor and navigator.
Just a few dents, its still good, its still good!
After crashing on prehistoric Earth the Axalon became the Maximal's base of operations. Still flight worthy, the Axalon took its last trip into the air when the Maximals were able to salvage parts from the Predacon's ship when they mistakenly thought the Predacons had destroyed themselves in an energon explosion. The trip was brief and the crash, caused by Megatron, ensured that the Axalon would never fly again. Later, it was further destroyed by Megatron's forces, as Rampage and some of Tarantulas's spider drones pulled it off the cliff that it was straddling. After which its remains were salvaged as best as possible to help fortify the Ark against Predacon attack.
It would appear the Maximals left the remains of the Axalon behind when they returned to Cybertron. In both "Primeval Dawn" and in Dreamwave's comic book series, we see abandoned segments of the Maximal encampment.
Known Specifications
As the Axalon was a science vessel, it is scantily armed and even then primarily for defensive purposes. However, its main forward plasma cannon has enough power to cripple Predacon ships (such as the Darksyde) with a well-targeted shot.
Its rear docking bay can launch stasis pods in the event of an emergency.
Toys
Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary
- Optimus Primal
- A small toy of the Axalon was included.
