Neptune has Guandao and Trident form. Pyrrha has a spear that transforms into a sword. Sun has a staff that becomes nunchucks.

So yeah, we've had plenty of examples.


Neptune's weapon has two gun forms in addition to the Guandao and Trident forms. That's actually a javelin which is used for ranged attacks not speaking of the fact that Pyrrha's weapon also turns into a shotgun. Sun's nunchucks double as guns.

Those weapons that do have more than one melee form aren't all that different, sword and javelin, staff and nunchucks, Guandao and Trident are easily alterable into one another (at least by RWBY standards). We haven't seen a weapon that transforms that completely from one class of weapon into another unless it is becoming a ranged weapon.

Yes I realize I said I didn't think we'd seen a weapon with two melee forms. I misspoke, I meant a weapon with multiply melee forms that lacked a ranged application, that's my bad.

That said I'm not disputing that the guy in the photo is Qrow (I looked him up). I don't think the weapon he is using however is the scythe that he will later teach Ruby to wield, which leaves me wondering why he'd change his arsenal so completely like that.

Hello guys I am sorry for what seemed like a really long absence though college has been piling onto me and then I got involved into some personal legal matters which has gotten me extremely stressed. I will start getting back into the RP soon.

I've recently been thinking of giving Cobalt a theme song. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here's a song I've really liked, just as an example.

I don't know about theme songs for Cobalt. I'll keep an eye out. Though, that begs the question: a theme song for HOB...hmm, that I'll have to think about for sure.

Don't suppose you know someone who could animate us an opening?

Once, I knew a thing or two about pivot. Unfortunately, I sucked, and worse, I don't know anyone better.

Stick fighting really inspired me for a while, though. It's one thing I wish I was great at.

I disagree, the sword is massive enough and it looks like it has two separate blades folded up, those could easily fold outwards and form a Scythe. In addition, since when did we see anything about it lacking a ranged form, it probably still has one. Just because we've only seen the sword form so far does not mean it doesn't have two other forms. It probably is a sword-sniper-scythe.

Plus I'd argue sword and nunchucks are just as different as sword and scythe. The only similarity those two have are being blunt weapons, while sword and scythe are both bladed weapons.

Given that most of this is opinion based and there is evidence to suggest both I'm not going to argue furthur.

Just curious though who did they have that had a sword/nunchuck weapon?

A sword to a scythe isn't that big of a stretch, Bloodborne seemed to have something similar:

I really like Bloodborne's transforming weapons. From the instant I first saw them, I thought 'this RWBY in a super-gritty Victorian time'.

For those uninitiated, Bloodborne has low-tech examples of:
A saw that is also a cleaver
A saw that is also a spear
A hatchet that is also a waraxe
A cane that is also a bladed whip - Threaded Cane
A pile bunker that is also a hidden blade - Stake Driver
A rapier that is also a gun (hmm) - Reichterpalasch
A sword that is also a bigger sword - Ludwig's Holy Blade
A sword that is also a giant mallet - Kirkhammer
A sword that is also two knives - Blades of Mercy
A scimitar that is also a scythe - Burial Blade
A katana that is also a katana that also kills you - Chikage
A spear that is also a gun - Rifle Spear
A mace that is also a Van der Graaf generator - Tonitrus

Okay that makes more sense.

The fighting style between them is vastly different but from a logistics point of view the weapons aren't the dissimilar. The staff would disconnect at the halfway mark and those two pieces would again disconnect but have chains attaching them. I think you might even be able to construct something like that in reality never mind RWBY physics.

That sword is already basically a scythe without a handle, plus he's attaching it to a handle on his back. I don't think the design of Qrow's sword would permit it turning into a scythe very easily but I suppose that's just me.

Man, have you seen Cloud Strife's Fusion Swords?

Even if Qrow's giant sword opened up in a scythe, it has nothing on that thing.

You're forgetting a few.
A Katar that transmogrifies your other arm into a beastly one - Beast Claw
A giant wooden wheel that opens up into a blood skull wooden wheel - Logarius' Wheel
A spear that is also a shotgun - Rifle spear

And if you want to consider the upcoming Old Hunter's Expansion...Which was confirmed to have about 10-15 new weapons...

Decided to test my theory.

The following is the result of 2 minutes in Pivot.



In conclusion, I'm going to stick with my original view, if I can pull off a similar effect in Pivot, I'm sure they've got something.

Hue. Dat pizza cutter though.

I've been keeping track of all information on that expansion, there's much more than what you've listed I'm sure you know. The bow sword is Simon's Bowblade by the way.
