| The name or term "Lazerback" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Lazerback (disambiguation). |
- Lazerback is a Predacon from the Aligned continuity family.
With an intelligence and power that may be second only to Predaking, the rogue creature Lazerback is a master of trickery and avowed agent of chaos, "Fractious" is a good word to describe him. He may be a Predacon by design, but he'll die before he prostrates himself at the feet of Predaking, to say nothing of the die-cast dictator who thinks he's giving the orders now. Lazerback's only interested in one thing: destroying all who stand in his way.
Fiction
Tales of the Beast Hunters
Lazerback was cloned by Shockwave using a Hyperevolution Chamber. Whilst helpless in the Chamber, the Predacon overheard the Decepticon scientist, and decided to destroy Megatron and Predaking, so as to be free to spread chaos of his own accord. Once freed from the chamber, he stole a tracking device and set off to find the two tyrants. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 3 He eventually found them on a derelict starship in the asteroid belt, and surreptitiously planted explosives around the ship. Once at a safe distance, he set off the explosives, seemingly terminating Megatron. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6
Assuming everyone aboard the ship was dead, Lazerback approached the newly-awakened Predacon, Ripclaw, and told her that Predaking was dead. He attempted to persuade her that the Decepticons deserved destruction as much as the Autobots did. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 8
The Covenant of Primus
Lazerback was one of Predaking's loyal subjects, and one of the first Predacons to emerge from Well of All Sparks. He eventually went insane as the Great Cataclysm ravaged Cybertron, ultimately forcing Predaking to use his stun breath to knock him out. Predaking then took Lazerback and Hun-Gurrr, who also suffered from insanity, deep into Cybertron's underground, and all three were never heard from again. The Covenant of Primus
