| The name or term "Laserbeak" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Laserbeak (disambiguation). |
- Laserbeak is a Planet X Decepticon from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Laserbeak is an extension of his partner, Soundwave. He is a drone whose programming is taken from a small portion of Soundwave's personality. The small bird is perfect for infiltration, sporting a stealth mode, smokescreens, cutting lasers, and various retractable tools for manipulating and retrieving objects.
Though Laserbeak's form is that of a drone created by the inhabitants of Planet X and manufactured by the thousands, Soundwave is excessively protective of this specific unit.[1]

- Soundwave (Voyager Class, 2005)
- Takara ID number: GX-02
- Takara release date: August 22, 2005
- Known designers: Takio Ejima (Takara)
- Released in the Cybertron toyline with Voyager Class Soundwave, Laserbeak is a robotic condor that transforms into one of Soundwave's hexagonal bombs. In this form can be stored in Soundwave's chest compartment, reminiscent of where another Laserbeak spent his nights.
- Laserbeak can perch on the tips of Soundwave's wings in his condor form by inserting the 5 mm post on his tummy into one of the trailing edge holes on Soundwave's wings. Since Laserbeak was not designed to be a normal Mini-Con, he does not have a Powerlinx adapter, nor does he bear the Mini-Con insignia. Nevertheless, the Hasbro packaging still calls him one.
- This mold was also used to make Galaxy Force Hell Buzzsaw and 2008 Universe Blockrock.
Notes
[edit]- Soundwave's packaging labels Laserbeak as a Mini-Con, while Soundwave's Fun Publications profile states that Laserbeak is mistakenly believed to be a Mini-Con. This is pretty bizarre since both the packaging callout and the bio were written by Forest Lee.
Foreign names
