'''Laserbeak''' is a Decepticon in the service of [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]. Transforming into an electric guitar, he aids in Soundwave's manipulations of sound and data transmission. He can hack into any computer acoustically, and also can focus sound into a concussive blast.

Although built by Soundwave, Laserbeak possesses a [[spark]] due to bearing a tiny sliver of the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]].

===''Animated'' cartoon===
Sari spotted Laserbeak flying around the Autobot base when she came to visit, and she followed him into a previously unknown basement, where she discovered Soundwave and the comatose Autobots. Sari tried to attack, but Soundwave lazily summoned Laserbeak and played a sweet riff, blowing her back to the elevator. As she rode the elevator up, Laserbeak clawed at her through the elevator cage. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

When Sari returned to fight Soundwave with a group of "[[Substitute Autobot|Substitute Autobots]]", Laserbeak swooped at her repeatedly until she shot him out of the sky with her energy blasts. He then broke [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|Wreck-Gar]]'s accordion before going back to bothering Sari. When [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] regained control of himself, he grabbed Laserbeak, forced him to transform into guitar mode, and started using his sound waves to counter those emitted by [[Ratbat (Animated)|Ratbat]]. He quickly got within range of Soundwave and started beating him up with his own guitar, breaking Soundwave and Ratbat into pieces.

Next time...]]Laserbeak regained control a few moments later, transforming to bird mode as he swooped down, picked up the tiny, surviving fragment of Soundwave, and flew off with it to places unknown. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

===''The Cool'' comic===

During an assault on [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]], Soundwave used Laserbeak in guitar-mode to subdue the Autobots with sonic attacks. Unfortunately, the racket attracted a very angry [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]], who knocked Soundwave and Laserbeak to the ground with his tail. Once the rest of the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobot]]s showed up, the Decepticons were forced to flee. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 3}}

*'''Soundwave''' (Deluxe, 2008)

: Laserbeak comes with Soundwave. He is awesome. He also transforms into what appears to be a flying [http://www.deanguitars.com/dean_winter_07/razorback_v_standard.htm Dean Razorback V]. Not to [[scale]], but still awesome. In either mode, Laserbeak can clip onto Soundwave's roof in vehicle mode or forearms in robot mode, allowing him to perch on his master's arm. In guitar mode, Soundwave can naturally hold him in a playing position.

==Notes==
* Many fans were surprised that Laserbeak did not make an appearance in "[[Sound and Fury]]". At [[BotCon 2008]], it was revealed that the show's staff were unaware of [[Hasbro]]'s decision to include him with the Soundwave toy, but explained that Laserbeak would appear when Soundwave returned in Season 3.
* In his cartoon appearances, Laserbeak's guitar mode is mistransformed, with the tail/guitar neck not properly extended.
