- Unarchy is a Laser Beast from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Unarchy (アナーキー Anākī) may not be the sharpest shovel in the shed, but he happily serves as the bedrock of the Laser Beast army. A no-nonsense and honest beast, he has no problems doing dirty and thankless jobs, tackling them with a hardworking patience and persistence that puts many to shame. Coupled with his incredible endurance, he will keep at a task 'til the bitter end, no matter the assignment. He's particularly useful in long-term siege warfare, gradually chipping away at a target, slowly but surely wearing them down.
Of course, his lack of smarts often ends up working against him, making it easy for others to trick him. He's fairly imaginative, but lacks the intelligence to really put his notions to work properly.
His MVP Weapon, the Power Drill Laser (パワードリルレーザー Pawā Doriru Rēzā), spins at ultra-high speed to create a laser beam that bores through rock and enemy armor with ease.

- Unarchy (Laser Beast, 1988)
- ID number: 80
- Accessories: "Power Drill Laser" MVP Weapon
- Part of the first series of Takara's individually-boxed Beastformers Laser Beasts, Unarchy is an anthropomorphic mole in high-tech red-orange armor. His left hand has been replaced with a chisel. Instead of a heat-sensitive Battle Emblem, he has a transparent orb in his torso with a small hole in his back. By holding his back to a light source, looking into the orb reveals the elemental power of Fire, Water or Wood.
- Nominally, he comes with the "Power Drill Laser" blaster. However, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other 11 Laser Beasts in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the "role-playing game" attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.
- This toy was actually released in Hasbro's Battle Beasts line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but they saw extremely limited distribution, largely hitting clearance chains in the US, plus limited releases in parts of Europe. As such, it generally goes for a bit less than the later Laser Beasts that were only released in Japan, but not a lot less. There is a minor variant to the gun that has popped up in some EU and Canadian samples: the common version of the gun has the "80" ID number stamped on the left-hand side just above the "ammo clip" (as seen at right), while the variant puts it inside the backwards-"D"-shaped "mole paw" over the handle.
Notes
- Unarchy's name is a portmanteau of "underground" and "anarchy".
- It is currently unknown what his Hasbro Battle Beasts name was going to be.
