Among the many hilariously over-the-top fantasy designs in the Monster Hunter series the transforming shenanigans stand out in particular. A weapon that can mechanically change between sword and axe mode? Pretty handy, eh?
Could something this extravagant work in the real world, with some simplification? I think it could, although it would have some weaknesses compared to a conventional longsword and two-handed axe or polearm. So let's delve into the hypotheticals...
Special thanks to BaneNZ for coming up with a good locking mechanism and Ace the Super Villain for designing and animating the 3D models. You can check out his other work here:
