Lazerback is a Predacon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
"Cue the sparkles... and jazz hands!"

With an intelligence and power that may be second only to Predaking, the rogue creature Lazerback is a master of trickery and avowed agent of chaos. "Fractious" is a good word to describe him. He may be a Predacon by design, but he'll die before he prostrates himself at the feet of Predaking, to say nothing of the die-cast dictator who thinks he's giving the orders now. Lazerback's only interested in one thing: destroying all who stand in his way.

Fiction

[edit]

Tales of the Beast Hunters

[edit]

Lazerback was cloned by Shockwave using a Hyperevolution Chamber. Whilst helpless in the Chamber, the Predacon overheard the Decepticon scientist, and decided to destroy Megatron and Predaking, so as to be free to spread chaos of his own accord. Once freed from the chamber, he stole a tracking device and set off to find the two tyrants. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 3 He eventually found them on a derelict starship in the asteroid belt, and surreptitiously planted explosives around the ship. Once at a safe distance, he set off the explosives, seemingly terminating Megatron. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6

Assuming everyone aboard the ship was dead, Lazerback approached the newly-awakened Predacon, Ripclaw, and told her that Predaking was dead. He attempted to persuade her that the Decepticons deserved destruction as much as the Autobots did. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 8

End of G1 Universe

[edit]

When the Predacons under Dragotron's command invaded Earth, Lazerback and Grimwing found Leo Prime's quantum gate and invaded the Cybertron of the G1 World. They were felled by Delta Magnus and his Primal Vanguard. Age of Primes

Commercial appearances

[edit]

Toy versions of Optimus and Bumblebee came to life to duke it out against toy versions of Predaking and Lazerback in a child's room. Bumblebee and Optimus came out victorious, and bumped fists while their restrained opponents dangled beneath them. Beast Hunters toys commercial

While you were investigating Shockwave's lab for clues, Lazerback burst free from a chamber and scurried away. Lazerback soon joined several other Predacons, overwhelming Shockwave and causing the Decepticon scientist to flee. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals.

When Shockwave left his technology unattended, you could use it to custom-create your own monstrous Predacon! Lazerback's CNA was accessible through the cloning machine, resulting in Predacons that shared component parts with him. Beast Creator

DO NOT PET THE WILDLIFE.
  • Lazerback (Deluxe Class, 2013)
    • Series/number: 2/003
    • Accessories: Toxic Strike Blaster, missile, tail/whip
Part of the first wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Lazerback transforms into a drake with an opening jaw. His tail detaches to become a whip that is held by his hands via 5mm post, and his dragon back hinges over his head in robot mode to become the "Toxic Strike Blaster", a spring-loaded missile launcher which fires a single, double-pronged missile. (His packaging call-outs erroneously mention that he has two missiles.) The launcher itself is attached to a peg-hole on his back, and can be detached for use as a hand-held weapon.
His instructions include the third chapter of the Tales of the Beast Hunters series. He was redecoed into Vertebreak and retooled into Go! Gaidora.

The Beast Blade Optimus Prime set comes with pieces for building a beast mode Lazerback.


  • Beast Hunter Optimus Prime (2016)
    • Set number: B6424
    • Pieces: 251
    • Kreons: Optimus Prime, Energon Kicker
Re-packaged and re-released through budget chains like Dollar General and Family Dollar in the US, this is a seemingly-unchanged version of "Beast Blade Optimus Prime", only with the packaging and instructions omitting any mention or visuals of the kit's large robot build. The set still has all the parts for the large robot build, there's just no instructions for said build so you get to puzzle it out yourself (or look them up online).
