A '''laser''' is a ranged [[weapon]] used by some [[Transformer]]s. While lasers come in a wide variety of designs of all shapes and sizes that can produce varying effects (see below) there are also rank-and-file [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s whose lot in life is to go into battle equipped with nothing but an ordinary, simple laser.

			===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
			[[Chromedome (G1)\|Chromedome]] was armed with dual lasers in [[robot mode]] which were mounted on his roof in [[Alternate mode\|car mode]] and automatically targeted by his hood-mounted infrared rangefinder. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Chromedome's ''Universe'' profile}} [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Dreadwind]]'s veritable arsenal of weaponry included lasers. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Dreadwind's ''Universe'' profile}} In robot mode [[Topspin (G1)\|Topspin]] wielded hand-mounted lasers. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Topspin's ''Universe'' profile}}

			===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
			[[Bomb-Burst (G1)\|Bomb-Burst]] was armed with dual lasers in both vehicle and robot modes. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Bomb-Burst's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}} In insect mode [[Chop Shop (G1)\|Chop Shop]] had two precision lasers in his mouth. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Chop Shop's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}} [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]]'s space jet mode was fitted with side-mounted lasers. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Cyclonus's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}} In vehicle mode [[Downshift (G1)\|Downshift]] utilised door-mounted lasers and a roof-mounted energy net launcher. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Downshift's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}} [[Seaspray (G1)\|Seaspray]] was armed with a battery of lasers in both robot and hovercraft modes. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Seaspray's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}} [[Skystalker (G1)\|Skystalker]]'s [[Thunder Arrow\|interstellar shuttle]] was equipped with a fearsome array of weapons, including lasers. {{storylink\|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|Skystalker's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile}}
