... If those are what pterosaur wings actually looked like, I'm a monkey's uncle.

A fast flying pirate of the air, the mean menace that is Lazorbeak satiates his thirst for battle by seeking the one good point Maximals have: their melting points! He is aided in this by a powerful laser weapon. Unfortunately, his aggressive usage of this weapon rapidly diminishes his energon levels, usually limiting Lazorbeak to making only brief aerial attacks before converting back to pteranodon mode.

Wait, I'd rather fade away than burn ouAAAAAAG-

Lazorbeak was one of the protoforms left on Earth by the Axalon reprogrammed into Predacons by Magmatron. The Gathering #2 He was sent to search for Razorbeast and his team of Maximals from the air by the recently revived Ravage. The Gathering #3 When Sky Shadow discovered the Maximals' lair, Lazorbeak was among the Predacons who participated in the battle that ensued. After being beaten by the Maximals and their newly arrived reinforcements, Lazorbeak presumably retreated along with the other Predacons. The Gathering #4

Weeks later, he joined in on the all-out assault ordered by Ravage on the Maximals' base camp. The Ascending #1 He was briefly seen dogfighting with Air Hammer. The Ascending #2 When the Blendtrons crashed that party, Lazorbeak and the other Predacons teamed up with the Maximals to fight the Angolmois-powered newcomers. With Spittor's help, Lazorbeak managed to get Rartorata to spear his own teammate Drancron with his stinger. Unfortunately, this caused a violent Angolmois explosion that apparently wiped the whole lot of them out, Lazorbeak included. The Ascending #4

Recordicons

Laserbeak complained that the bartender had written "Lazerbeak" on his tab and spelling it with a 'z' made him look like an illiterate loser. Unfortunately Lazorbeak overheard and took it personally. Recordicons #16 Lazorbeak was questioned by Air Hammer over whether any of the guys around were the original guys they shared names with. After having to clarify that Garboyl was not the original Garboil, and witnessing Soundwave projectile vomiting, Lazorbeak expressed the hope that they weren't. Recordicons #26

• Lazorbeak (Basic, 1996)

A redeco and very slight retooling (he was given a space for an energon chip) of the original Terrorsaur mold, Lazorbeak transforms from a Pteranodon (referred to as a pterodactyl by the package) to a robot with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. His pistol stores in a small recess behind his robot mode head.

This mold was also used to make Fractyl, Beast Wars Neo Hydra, Dinobots Terranotron and Age of Extinction Strafe.
