A character's weapon can tell you a lot about their approach to life. Large, heavy, force-based weapons are typically depicted as the Mighty Glaciers of the weapons world, slow and difficult to handle and poorly suited to any complex technique, but capable of dealing immense damage when they land a hit. Their wielders follow suit in personality — fictional mace-wielders, hammer-hefters, and axemen are usually direct and brutish sorts, provided with the tremendous strength needed to wield such weapons effectively but lacking the skill, patience, or interest necessary for making use of anything that requires finer technique. Alternatively, they may be capable of learning more technical weapons, but just don't see a good reason to do so when a good solid blow from a heavier tool can still send any foe flying out of their boots.
These weapons can take a number of visual forms, such as maces, mauls, battleaxes, warhammers, or morningstars and their kin. Even huge two-handed swords turn up from time to time. Less commonly, in modern or futuristic settings, the most violent character of the cast (villain or hero) will carry firearms that are massive and brutal in comparison to what the other characters are carrying, such as huge pistols, powerful shotguns, and the occasional Grenade Launcher; a common element here involves the heavy gunman in question starting off from range with a spray of indiscriminate gunfire before using their weapon as a heavy bludgeon once the enemy closes in. Either way, the core concept is the same among them all: this is a weapon that needs a prodigiously strong wielder to even lift off of the ground, but which in the hands of a sufficiently mighty brute can crack walls and shatter shields with ease.
Among the more common wielders of these implements of bone-breaking you will find The Big Guy, The Brute, the Barbarian Tribe (and their Barbarian Hero), the Feral Villain, The Berserker, and the Smash Mook. In fantasy settings, different sorts of brutish weapons will be found in the hands of local orcs, ogres, trolls, and giants.
Subtrope of Weapon-Based Characterization. Supertrope to Boulder Bludgeon, which describes how brutal and primitive rock-based combat is and how it reflects on the character doing it, and Primitive Clubs, which describes the association of crude, simple clubs and mauls with cavemen and other primitive sorts.
In the case of the more evil brutish sorts, this can overlap with Good Weapon, Evil Weapon and Savage Spiked Weapons. Has overlap with Heavy Equipment Class. See also Clothing Reflects Personality and Telephone Polearm.

Kull: The barbarian warrior Kull uses a battle axe as his main weapon. After he becomes king, his advisors make several attempts to civilize him, including training him in swordsmanship. He never quite takes to it and goes back to his axe, showing he's truly a barbarian at heart.

Samurai Shodown:
Wan-fu doesn't qualify for this trope in his debut appearance, as he fights with a scimitar. But when he swaps it out for a gigantic broken off stone pillar, he's a textbook example. He even has a special move that has him slamming his own head against it, causing damage to himself but boosting his own rage meter.
Darli Dagger, introduced in the 2019 game, is an incredibly muscular sailor woman with a rough but friendly demeanor and a love for alcohol. Her weapon of choice is a massive serrated cleaver, not unlike something you'd see in the Monster Hunter series. She also swaps out the handle to turn it into a giant steel hammer and a drill, giving her a whole arsenal of brutish weapons.

Fire Emblem:
Axes, one of the three main weapon groups, emphasize high power but low accuracy and are often wielded by large and brutish men. Women never use axes in early games, but more modern games give them axes to signify their dominance and strength.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: Big Bad Ashnard, who instigates a war with the entire continent out of his belief in the strongest should rule so that all will carve out their own fate, wields a massive, jagged blade. While protagonist Ike wields a decently sized sword himself, Ashnard's is still vastly larger to show how he wants only bloodshed to be the guiding force in the world.
Fire Emblem: Awakening: Walhart, the Arc Villain of the Valm chapters, is a brutal conqueror who is the only person capable of wielding the axe "Wolf Berg", his signature weapon. While he can also use swords and lances as part of his Conqueror class with equal ratings, axes are what he's most closely associated with.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: All of Hyrule's races have weapon types they are particularly associated with, such as bows for the flying Rito or one-handed swords for the stealthy Sheikah. The Gorons, the towering rock people of Death Mountain and the largest and strongest of Hyrule's civilized peoples, favor the use of giant two-handed (for Hylians; Gorons wield them one-handed) greatsword-like weapons with blunt edges, designed to make use of their owners' prodigious strength. In flashbacks, the Goron Champion Daruk shows Goron fighting techniques with his personal weapon, the Boulder Breaker, swinging it in great sweeping arcs and slamming enemies off their feet.

In The Hobbit, Sauron's main enforcer, Azog the Defiler, who has become much stronger than his book self, is a pale-skinned Orc who we first see smashing his way through tons of Dwarvish soldiers at the gates of Moria with a massive bone-bladed mace, roaring murderously all the way. Azog's fighting style is very brutal and physical, though, seeing as he's also a Genius Bruiser, he's not above using other weapons to win a fight. Azog's own enforcer, his son Bolg, also carries a mace, apparently forged from a spinal column. The shaft end of the mace is sharp like a spear, which means he can kill you with both ends of it, as Kili finds out.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans:
Reflecting the Darker and Edgier Deconstruction angle of the series, the main Gundam of the series, the Gundam Barbatos, is armed with a gigantic club. Compared to the more elegant beam sabers of previous series, the Barbatos is a brutal, savage creature more akin to a wild animal than a soldier on the battlefield. In-universe, the Barbatos is finally destroyed when its enemies stop trying to treat it like a human and more like a frenzied beast to be put down.
His teammate Akihiro and his Mid-Season Upgrade the Gundam Gusion Rebake are the massive bruiser of the Tekkadan, an impressive feat considering Barbatos is the poster child. Discarding all subtlety his main weapon is an MS-sized pair of scissors that can crush lesser suits like tin cans.

Diablo II: Choosing the Barbarian from the character select screen will prompt him to let out a yell and start grinding an axe while you choose his name, and his starting inventory also includes an axe. Diablo II also introduces one-handed axes that the Barbarian can use with a shield or in each hand, while the first game only had two-handed axes. Axes have more consistent damage output, with higher minimum but lower maximum damage than swords and maces.

Onimusha: Warlords: The huge, minotaur-like Genma known as Oowassha are armed with humongous single-bladed axes, which are slow as molasses but can hit like trucks. A variation carries double-bit axes they can throw away as a special attack, after which they rely on massive cleavers to finish the job.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): Kronis is an Evil Genius Sadist who creates weapons and takes perverse delight in the destruction they cause. When transformed into Trap Jaw, his brutishness is reflected in his Signature Move, "Mecha-Maw". Unlike Man-At-Arms, who can use his "Speed Build" to create anything he can imagine with nearby materials, Trap Jaw has to destroy raw materials with his Maw of Weaponry and can only create a new weapon for his mechanical right arm.

Guilty Gear: Protagonist Sol Badguy is an interesting example. He is extremely rude and vulgar, and fights by wildly swinging a blunt weapon with no grace whatsoever. However, he's also a genius scientist and a world class bounty hunter, he just chooses to fight this way. His alternate, "Order Sol" self might qualify even more for this trope, as his weapon is basically a slab of concrete that he swings around like a sword.

RWBY: Usually the heavy weapon is the forte of the Big Guy of the team, as a representation of how weapons are a reflection of their wielder.
The exuberant and emotional Yang has Ember Celica, a pair of power fist shot-gauntlets that augment her hand to hand techniques and raw power fighting style. In contrast to the sniper rifle, revolver and handgun ammunition of her teammates, Yang reloads with a string of shotgun shells. After volume 3 Yang had to replace her right arm with a cybernetic arm that had similar effects and in 7 upgrades it with a bulkier appearance and mine rounds.
Nora has an enormous hammer/grenade launcher to drive home her Boisterous Bruiser ways. It can open up the chamber to fire all her rounds at once in a giant heart formation for even more destruction.
General Ironwood normally uses a pair of elegant, if simple and straightforward, revolvers called Due Process. After his Face–Heel Turn he upgrades them with a large extension that amplifies their power into a massive laser as a show of power as his Appeal to Force mindset is continually challenged. It makes his weapon large and bulky enough to be used as a makeshift club.
Harriett Bree is impatient and much more willing to use force when compared to her compatriots in Atlas. Her weapon Fast Knuckles is a large, blocky piece of equipment with exposed machinery. It's more noticeable because most Atlas tech is smooth and elegant.

Discworld: The City Watch employs Troll policemen, mainly to act as mobile riot shields that can punch back. Sergeant Detritus used to have a habit of breaking weapons designed for mere humans as he was too strong for them and lacked a delicate touch. The problem of finding him a suitable side-arm was solved when a massive ballista, used as siege artillery and capable of firing bolts of four feet in length, was taken off its wheeled carriage and repurposed as a Troll's personal crossbow. In general, troll society views the club with a nail in it as a cultural weapon.

Elden Ring:
Godfrey the First Elden Lord wields a massive double-headed axe that had one head broken off during a battle. As his ideology states that the strongest rule, it is pretty telling that he uses this massive war-torn weapon. And that's just in Phase 1. In Phase 2, he discards his axe and most of his armour to fight you with only his bare hands. It doesn't get much more brutish than that.
General Radahn the Starscourge idolizes Godfrey and styles himself after him. In battle he wields a pair of massive curved blades, chipped and pitted from battle, and a Greatbow sized for his gargantuan frame. During the battle he even coats the swords in earth to make them even larger and more jagged.

Final Fantasy VII:
Protagonist Cloud Strife uses a massive Buster Sword as his signature weapon. As most prior main characters used elegant straight swords and shields it gives the impression that he is much more confrontational than prior characters but still very heroic.
Barret uses a minigun grafted to his severed arm, a very clear message that he uses violence instead of letting old wounds heal.

Final Fantasy XIV:
Warriors practice an art in which they tap into their "Inner Beast" to access incredible Super-Strength and stamina at the risk of losing control and attacking friend and foe alike. They wield war axes in combat, many of which have heads larger than their wielders' torsos.
Dark knights are vigilantes who murder corrupt and powerful elites that evade justice for their crimes. In contrast to the Knightly Sword and Shield and spear wielded by the Temple Knights, dark knights all wield a BFS through which they channel their inner darkness and vengeful emotions.

Homestuck: Hegemonic Brute/Hearts Boxcars is a towering brute notable more for his inhuman strength than for any particular cleverness, and serves as the Midnight Crew's muscle in missions requiring the application of liberal amounts of brute force. Fittingly, he uses an assortment of battleaxes, warhammers, and morningstars as weapons.

For Honor:
Axe-wielding classes are common among the Vikings, namely the Raider, who uses a long-handled Dane Axe as their primary weapon, and the Berserker, who dual-wields one-handed axes.
Shugoki are the largest Chosen class, are based on oni, and wield kanabo clubs.

In The Hammer (2022), Tiny is a self-admitted musclehead who takes the heft and sturdiness of a warhammer over any "flimsy" sword. While he's quick on his feet when it comes to thinking up Indy Ploys, he's brutal in combat and crushes his enemies without remorse. One of his favorite maneuvers is to use his superior strength to grab one of his enemies and use them as a club against their own teammates. When offered a choice between two warhammers, he instantly goes for the one designed to weigh 100 kg.

Warcraft:
Orc warriors and death knights often wield two-handed axes, contrasting the Alliance's preference for swords, though a few sword-wielding orc characters exist.
The mogu, a race mainly composed of barbaric conquerors, tend to wield heavy swords and axes. They're more for intimidation than actual combat, so they proved impractical against the Acrofatic pandaren when the latter finally rebelled against and overthrew the mogu.

Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance has large enemies using large weapons:
The second enemy introduced in the game, the Hoplomachus gladiators, are much taller and stronger than the default Secutor-class gladiators. Fittingly they all swing heavy axes as weapons.
Cyclops enemies are among the most muscular mooks, and uses heavy maces to bash you to a pulp.

Dungeons & Dragons: The traditional barbarian stereotype has them waving axes about as large as themselves. In fifth edition in particular, the greataxe's damage (1d12 where most two-handed weapons do 2d6) synergizes with the barbarian's brutal critical ability adding a single extra damage die of the sort the weapon does.

Played with Shadowheart, she uses heavy maces as she is a cleric of her religion despite being otherwise a much nicer person than most of the companions. After her personal quest she gets a spear, more refined than her maces.

The Legend of Zelda:
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Iron Knuckles are a type of enemy that wear heavy armor and wield large double-headed axes. They also move slowly and are quite resistant to Link's physical attacks, taking many hits before they are defeated.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: When battled in the Bulblin Compound and at Hyrule Castle, the hulking leader of the barbaric, orc-like Bulblins fights Link using a huge two-handed axe swung in broad, powerful blows.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: All of Hyrule's races have weapon types they are particularly associated with, such as bows for the flying Rito or one-handed swords for the stealthy Sheikah. The Gorons, the towering rock people of Death Mountain and the largest and strongest of Hyrule's civilized peoples, favor the use of giant two-handed (for Hylians; Gorons wield them one-handed) greatsword-like weapons with blunt edges, designed to make use of their owners' prodigious strength. In flashbacks, the Goron Champion Daruk shows Goron fighting techniques with his personal weapon, the Boulder Breaker, swinging it in great sweeping arcs and slamming enemies off their feet.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Boss Bokoblins, the colossal leaders of Bokoblin tribes, almost always wield two-handed heavy weapons such as Sturdy/Gnarled Thick Sticks and Claymore hammers, showing their preference for brute strength when on their own. They typically only use other weapon types when disarmed and scrambling to grab the first thing they see.

Halo: The Jiralhanae (appropriately known as 'Brutes'), towering apelike Space Orcs known for their brutality and foul tempers, traditionally wield two-handed Gravity Hammers capable of killing foes in one hit and wrecking armored vehicles. In addition, they also prefer two projectile-based weapons rather than the Covenant's usual plasma: the Brute Shot, a grenade launcher with a menacing metal blade for melee attacks (that they put a bayonet on a grenade launcher says all you need to know about their combat mentality), the Brute Spiker, a single-handed pistol that fires heated metal projectiles and also has small plates for enhancing melee attacks, and the Mauler, a drum fed shotgun pistol, also with metal blades for melee attacks. Additionally, where the rest of the Covenant have hovering and/or elegant vehicles such as the Ghost or Scarab, Brutes have a wheel-based motorbike called the Chopper, which is used to run its enemies over and butcher them. Their other vehicle is a War Sled known as the Prowler, which while armed with plasma cannon, is better served to ram enemy lines and then offload troops. Tellingly, the Reporting Names for most Covenant vehicles are after mythological creatures (Ghost, Banshee, Wraith, etc.), Brute vehicles have violent or aggressive names like Chopper and Prowler.

Crislie and Jeidhe from Heralds Of Rhimn — both characterized by the exact same ax. Knight Jeidhe starts out wielding Ironheart in his first appearance in Shadow Herald, where he shows himself to be a brutal fighter ruthlessly dedicated to his cause. Then Crislie takes the axe and renames it to Ember. She notices later on that he’s still trying to fight like an ax wielder even when he’s been handed a sword as a replacement; in turn, the ax shifts her own fighting style from wild-swinging fisticuffs to something more ruthless and deadly.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor: The Hammer of Sauron is The Brute of Sauron's three Black Numenorean lieutenants who serve as part of the Big Bad Ensemble, and he's the most physical fighter of the bunch, armed with a massive mace, which, according to his background lore, belonged to Sauron himself, until Sauron was defeated in the battle of the Last Alliance, and the Hammer (back then, a humble Gondorian stretcher-bearer) picked it up, whereupon he was corrupted by his bloodlust and became a servant of Sauron. The Hammer primarily uses his mace to dish out pain upon his enemies — such as breaking the bones of Talion's left hand just to be a Sadist before sacrificing him and the rest of his family, or sending Ratbag flying just to punish him for letting Talion and a band of Gondorian rebels blow up the Gorthaur and kill all the other Orc Warchiefs.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Sauron himself is seen fighting in the Battle of the Last Alliance in the opening of the movie, and he solidly establishes himself as much stronger than any of his Orc soldiers by sending entire waves of Elves and Men flying with each sweeping blow of his mace. It shows that, before he lost his physical body and became an inactive villain, Sauron was just as good at brutally crushing opposing armies as he was at manipulating them.

Gundam:
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Zaku suits use heavy axes in comparison to the beam sabers used by the Gundam. This helps illustrate both the Gundam's greater technology and more heroic status. Subsequent series make a point of giving the mook suits kinetic melee weapons to make the energy weapons of the resident Gundams look more elegant.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Shinn's preferred weapon in both the Impulse and Destiny is their massive two handed swords rather than the multitude of options both have. Considering previous main character Kira preferred the flight configuration on the Strike, it conveys how Shinn prefers violence over diplomacy.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom: Newcomer Agnes uses a massive beam axe as her primary weapon. Considering how the heroes are trying to find non-lethal measures to subdue their opponents, this makes her the odd one out of the group. Sure enough, it doesn't take long for her to put her lot in with the villains.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans:
Reflecting the Darker and Edgier Deconstruction angle of the series, the main Gundam of the series, the Gundam Barbatos, is armed with a gigantic club. Compared to the more elegant beam sabers of previous series, the Barbatos is a brutal, savage creature more akin to a wild animal than a soldier on the battlefield. In-universe, the Barbatos is finally destroyed when its enemies stop trying to treat it like a human and more like a frenzied beast to be put down.
His teammate Akihiro and his Mid-Season Upgrade the Gundam Gusion Rebake are the massive bruiser of the Tekkadan, an impressive feat considering Barbatos is the poster child. Discarding all subtlety his main weapon is an MS-sized pair of scissors that can crush lesser suits like tin cans.

He's not afraid to use other weapons or implements lying around (up to and including a full M12-LRV Warthog), but his weapon of choice is the Halo 3 Brute Shot, a grenade launcher with a massive steel blade curving out the underside and around its back. He is also not afraid to use the blade.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom: Newcomer Agnes uses a massive beam axe as her primary weapon. Considering how the heroes are trying to find non-lethal measures to subdue their opponents, this makes her the odd one out of the group. Sure enough, it doesn't take long for her to put her lot in with the villains.

Barbaric and physically powerful factions and beings, such as orcs, minotaurs, and the Nord barbarians, are traditionally depicted as wielding large, ornate axes into battle.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
King Robert Baratheon's signature weapon is a giant two-handed warhammer, befitting his legendary strength and fiery temper. Most other characters can barely even lift the monstrous weapon, but Robert swung it around with ease; during the Battle of the Trident, he famously used it to crush Rhaegar Targaryen's chest through his plate armor.
The Barbarian Tribes of the Mountains of the Moon favor axes, particularly the giant chieftain Shagga, who wields one in each hand.
Victarion Greyjoy, the leader of the pseudo-Viking fleets of the Iron Isles and often noted for his intimidating size, great strength, and limited intelligence, favors a huge battle axe.
Tales of Dunk and Egg: Dunk, a knight nearly seven feet in height, usually carries a sword in the knightly fashion, but believes that he's virtually peerless with an axe or mace.

God of War (2018) has Kratos swap out the Blades of Chaos for the Leviathan Axe, but ironically, he's actually less pissed off and violent than in previous installments. He'll still bring on the hurt, but he's not as quick to do so.

Kaamelott: It's something of a Running Gag that Léodagan the Bloodthirsty (Arthur's father-in-law, Hanging Judge, and Blood Knight) keeps trying to outfit the kingdom with the latest in huge siege weapons, no matter how costly or impractical. When it's pointed out that having two dozen catapults is only useful if Kaamelott is actually besieging someone (as opposed to being used defensively), he says maybe it's time they get around to doing that.

The Dinobots are traditionally armed with melee weapons. The G1 Dinobots are armed with broadswords more suitable for clubbing and hacking than the more elegant blades like the ones used by Springer or Bludgeon. The live-action versions introduced in Transformers: Age of Extinction are equipped with even more brutish weapons, like Grimlock's spiked mace or Slog's clubs. When given ranged weapons, like in G1, they tend to be large, powerful guns that clearly focus on maximizing damage over range or precision.

The Faraway Paladin: Will's adoptive father Blood is the animated skeleton of a legendary warrior known in life as the War Ogre, known for being a freakishly strong Blood Knight. His weapon of choice is an enormous two-handed sword which he is quite expert with: when he has a sparring match with Will as a graduation test of sorts late in volume 1, he's shown using maneuvers such as half-swording (one hand on the hilt, one hand on the blade) to counter Will's attempts to get inside his guard.

Warhammer 40,000:
Chainaxes were popular close combat weapons used by assault troops during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. Some particularly archaic and/or barbaric assault troops still use them during the main 41st Millennium era: furthermore, they are popular with Khorne worshippers, as the axe is considered as a sacred weapon to the god of blood and slaughter. In the Ciaphas Cain novel The Traitor's Hand, Cain faces off against a World Eaters Chaos Space Marine who wields a chainaxe against Cain's chainsword.
Logan Grimnar, the Wolf Lord (chapter master, though in Fenrisian the correct title is Jarl) of the Viking-inspired Space Wolves chapter who frequently decorate their Powered Armor with battle trophies and animal pelts, favors as his primary weapon a gigantic double-bladed battleaxe called the Axe Morkai that he took as a trophy from a World Eaters champion he slew during the First War for Armageddon.
Ogryns (Heavyworlder human-derivatives) are big, tough, strong enough to wrestle an Ork, and about as smart as a rock, and their weapons are similarly designed. Each and every piece of Ogryn equipment, from their mauls to their slab shields, is specifically built to be "Ogryn-proof", which is to say that they're built as tough as the Adeptus Mechanicus can manage in order to hold up in the face of being used by an Ogryn to slaughter the Emperor's enemies. This practice extends even to their guns, which are built and reinforced to the point that they can be used as melee weapons as well; it's not uncommon for the simple-minded and enthusiastic Ogryns to use their huge ripper guns as clubs.

Diablo:
Diablo II: Choosing the Barbarian from the character select screen will prompt him to let out a yell and start grinding an axe while you choose his name, and his starting inventory also includes an axe. Diablo II also introduces one-handed axes that the Barbarian can use with a shield or in each hand, while the first game only had two-handed axes. Axes have more consistent damage output, with higher minimum but lower maximum damage than swords and maces.
Diablo III: Enforced in the case of Mighty weapons, which are usually gigantic broadswords, axes, and maces that can deal massive amounts of damage but have very slow attack speeds. Due to their size, the Barbarian, who for either sex is built like a tank, is the only character that can wield them.

Dota 2:
Mogul Khan, the Axe, is a brutal strength hero. He's an Oglodi (the Dota 2 equivalent of orcs) warrior whose Blood Knight tendencies were so intense that he was promoted to the rank of Red Mist General—not only due to his savagery on the battlefield, but also because he also killed his superiors so he could take their place. Fitting for such a vicious and barbaric combatant, and as evidenced by his title, he wields a large axe, which he uses in a Spin Attack or to inflict a One-Hit Kill execution on weakened enemies.
Bradwarden, the Centaur Warrunner, belongs to a race defined by their love of fighting. He wields a huge axe, with one of his moves having him swing it so hard that he hurts himself in the process.
The Troll Warlord's weapons of choice are two axes, which he can throw or use in melee. His default weapons are made of stone and are rather crude-looking, emphasizing his savage nature.

Vermintide II:
Crude, rusty, cracked axes are the signature weapons of Elite Mooks in the Rotblood Tribe, a vicious barbarian horde that worships a God of Evil. Savages have a pair of hand axes; Maulers and Chaos Warriors have massive great axes; and Lord Bödvarr Ribspreader has an oversized magical axe that's crafted out of a rotten human torso. (Mooks scrounge whatever weapons they can find.)
The two Monster-class enemies that wield weapons, Minotaurs and Bile Trolls, both have oversized axes and just enough sapience to use them very, very aggressively.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Wrecker is the Blood Knight of Clone Force 99 who loves to charge into battle. His preference in any fight is to either crush it with his Super-Strength or to create the biggest explosion he can.

Atelier Series: Throughout the series, the big, physically-imposing party members also tend to wield large, heavy weapons such as axes and huge swords, though given the series' lighthearted tone, this tends to emphasize their strength, rather than outright brutality:
Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland: Melvia has monstrous Super-Strength, so she uses a gigantic axe as her weapon of choice.
Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey:
Drossel is the most direct, melee-focused party member, and axes are her primary weapon type.
Angriff, a rough, muscular, battle-hardened mercenary, uses Zweihanders as his primary weapon.
Lent, introduced in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, is The Big Guy of the group and can sometimes be a bit of a Dumb Muscle. His weapon is a gigantic BFS.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduces the Tinkatink line of Pokemon who wield hammers of increasing sizes (Tinkatink's weapon is effectively a baby rattle while Tinkaton's hammer is stated to be 200 lbs) and are characterized by a need to improve it via hunting down Steel-types coupled with a shockingly vicious temperament. Tinkaton in particular is noted to be the reason why Corviknights cannot operate flying taxis in Paldea due to them actively knocking them out of the air via launching boulders with their mallets and it's Signature Move is "Gigaton Hammer", a 160 power move that's limited by the fact that it cannot be used twice in a row as well as the line's middling Attack stat.

Chainaxes were popular close combat weapons used by assault troops during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. Some particularly archaic and/or barbaric assault troops still use them during the main 41st Millennium era: furthermore, they are popular with Khorne worshippers, as the axe is considered as a sacred weapon to the god of blood and slaughter. In the Ciaphas Cain novel The Traitor's Hand, Cain faces off against a World Eaters Chaos Space Marine who wields a chainaxe against Cain's chainsword.

Firefly: Jayne is the big, muscular mercenary, the largest character, and something of a brute as well. His signature gun Vera is a large, powerful Callahan Full-bore Autolock, based on the Saiga 12 Kalishnakov semi-automatic shotgun. It's quite a bit stronger than the shotguns and pistols the other characters regularly use.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Zaku suits use heavy axes in comparison to the beam sabers used by the Gundam. This helps illustrate both the Gundam's greater technology and more heroic status. Subsequent series make a point of giving the mook suits kinetic melee weapons to make the energy weapons of the resident Gundams look more elegant.

While he can also use swords and lances as part of his Conqueror class with equal ratings, axes are what he's most closely associated with.

Indivisible: Ajna uses her mother's axe as her primary weapon, though she's good with her bare hands and uses the other weapons she obtains as well. Although her heart's in the right place, Ajna has a bad habit of smashing through problems without considering the full consequences, and the heavy, destructive axe that serves as her main weapon reflects this.

The Lord of the Rings:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Sauron himself is seen fighting in the Battle of the Last Alliance in the opening of the movie, and he solidly establishes himself as much stronger than any of his Orc soldiers by sending entire waves of Elves and Men flying with each sweeping blow of his mace. It shows that, before he lost his physical body and became an inactive villain, Sauron was just as good at brutally crushing opposing armies as he was at manipulating them.
In The Hobbit, Sauron's main enforcer, Azog the Defiler, who has become much stronger than his book self, is a pale-skinned Orc who we first see smashing his way through tons of Dwarvish soldiers at the gates of Moria with a massive bone-bladed mace, roaring murderously all the way. Azog's fighting style is very brutal and physical, though, seeing as he's also a Genius Bruiser, he's not above using other weapons to win a fight. Azog's own enforcer, his son Bolg, also carries a mace, apparently forged from a spinal column. The shaft end of the mace is sharp like a spear, which means he can kill you with both ends of it, as Kili finds out.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Boss Bokoblins, the colossal leaders of Bokoblin tribes, almost always wield two-handed heavy weapons such as Sturdy/Gnarled Thick Sticks and Claymore hammers, showing their preference for brute strength when on their own. They typically only use other weapon types when disarmed and scrambling to grab the first thing they see.

Dark Souls:
The demons of Chaos all use massive, brutal weapons that convey their inhuman strength. Get your hands on one and the strength requirements to use one are massive, often requiring one to invest their entire build around wielding one properly.
The cannibalistic executioner Smough, who is considered a real bastard by the actual knights, used a massive, uneven hammer covered in pointed ends. The fact that he is the end boss of Anor Londo alongside Dragonslayer Ornstein says a lot about the city that paved its glory around routing the dragons must eat its own to survive.

Transformers:
The Dinobots are traditionally armed with melee weapons. The G1 Dinobots are armed with broadswords more suitable for clubbing and hacking than the more elegant blades like the ones used by Springer or Bludgeon. The live-action versions introduced in Transformers: Age of Extinction are equipped with even more brutish weapons, like Grimlock's spiked mace or Slog's clubs. When given ranged weapons, like in G1, they tend to be large, powerful guns that clearly focus on maximizing damage over range or precision.
While G1 Megatron famously wields an energon-based Epic Flail, already hardly a graceful instrument, his Aligned counterpart in Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is armed with a brutal-looking two-handed spiked mace. In the latter half of Transformers: Prime, Aligned Megatron forges the Dark Star Saber, a massive two-handed sword hammered out of a shard of dark energon, with a suitably crude, jagged appearance to contrast to the more refined Star Saber.
His more notable signature weapon, however, is his Fusion Cannon, effectively an entire artillery piece mounted on his right arm, which unlike most Cybertronian weapons in later series, does not transform away. In the IDW comic universe in particular, Fusion cannons are treated as effectively symbols of Megatron and the Decepticon cause as a whole, with the particularly zealous Tarn even totting two of them on his forearm along with his Decept-icon mask to symbolize his devotion to the cause, something even Megatron considers excessive.
While hardly a brute, Optimus Prime is, in fact, a very large bot, literally built like a truck, who's commonly more known for his strength and experience than speed or finesse, and fittingly, many versions of his character are equipped with large, energon-bladed axes especially his own War for Cybertron incarnation, whose massive two-handed great axe is used to chop Decepticons in two and smash a way through obstructing walls.

They both use long weapons in combat, but while Lin-Chung uses a fine spear, Lu on the other hand wields a huge Shaolin Monk Spade that can send mooks flying with a single slap.
