- Lazerback (Deluxe, 2013)
- Series/number: 2/003
- Accessories: Toxic Strike Blaster, missile, tail/whip
The Lazerback toy was repurposed as Lazerback's template.
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Lazerback transforms into a dragon with an opening jaw. His tail detaches to become a whip that is held by his hands via 5 mm 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 also redecoed into Vertebreak and retooled into Go! Gaidora.
Notes
[edit]- Since he existed during an era before transformation, this Lazerback never realized that he had a robot mode.
