Movies
Age of Extinction film
The Sword of Judgment was among many of the weapons stored inside Lockdown's "trophy case", a separate ship that docked off of the main Knight Ship.
Optimus Prime retrieved the sword, reconfiguring his appearance to resemble the ancient Guardian Knights, and used it to free the Dinobots captive aboard the ship. After a brief battle between the Autobot and Dinobot leaders in an attempt to join forces, he used it to force Grimlock into submission. He later carried it into battle against the KSI drones that Galvatron had taken control of to search for the Seed in Hong Kong. It was again used by Optimus in his final confrontation with Lockdown. During the fight, Lockdown took the sword and impaled Optimus with it, holding him down but not killing him. Using a tow truck, Tessa and Shane pulled the sword out of Optimus' chest and Optimus used it to bisect Lockdown, putting an end to the bounty hunter. Age of Extinction
The Last Knight film
Optimus Prime continued to wield the sword, even after he became Nemesis Prime using it to kill the Guardian Knights that were trying to take back the Staff of Merlin from Viviane. Nemesis Prime used it afterwards in his battle with Bumblebee.
On Cybertron, Optimus attacked Infernocus with the sword, forcing the combiner to separate into his six individual components. In a single move, Optimus decapitated all six Infernocons at once. Later, in the fight inside the Ignition chamber, Megatron overpowered Prime and held the sword to his throat, but Prime managed to free himself and kicked Megatron through the wall of the chamber. As Viviane tried to remove the Staff to stop the energy transfer, Optimus snuck up on Quintessa and hit her with the sword, knocking her away and stopping her energy channel. Quintessa disarmed Optimus and the sword was not seen again following the destruction of the Ignition Chamber, suggesting that it was left behind and possibly destroyed in the crash. The Last Knight
