	A '''laser scalpel''' is a [[Transformer]] surgical tool. It emits a variable laser beam that can be adjusted to cut or heat materials. It is not known what distinguishes laser scalpels from [[cyber-forcep]]s; presumably the cutting mechanism used is preferable in some circumstances, though it may simply be an instance of [[Decepticon]] vs. [[Autobot]] technology.

One time, he used it to roast [[Hot dog (food)\|wieners]] for a few humans. Soon after, he had to use it offensively alongside his [[cryogenic sprayer]] against [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Megatron]], but couldn't so much as get a scratch in his armor. (Perhaps [[Decepticon]] surgeons start with a can opener?) {{storylink\|Warrior School!}} ''The laser scalpel was more effective against the battle droid [[Guardian (Marvel)\|Guardian]], as long as it was aimed at its weak spot on its neck.'' {{storylink\|The Wrath of Guardian!}} ''It also worked pretty well against [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Shockwave]]'s face.'' {{storylink\|Distant Thunder!}}

	About a year later, Ratchet used his laser scalpel during the operation that could restore [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]]. It wouldn't be so, leaving Ratchet badly distraught. On [[First Aid (G1)\|First Aid]]'s advice, Ratchet went to a [[A-1\|car graveyard]] to collect replacement parts for other damaged Autobots, but ended up forced to act as a [[Alternate mode\|getaway car]] for two car thieves in order to keep his identity as a [[Transformer]] secret. To get rid of the cops following them, Ratchet used his laser scalpel on one of the police vehicles. Seeing as how one was busy driving and the other paralyzed with fear, Ratchet hoped the thieves didn't notice his aid. They did though, and the one named the [[Mechanic (G1)\|Mechanic]] removed the laser scalpel along the cryogenic sprayer from Ratchet's interior.
