| 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 Decepticon from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Laserbeak is a Decepticon in the service of Soundwave. Transforming into an electric guitar, he aids in Soundwave's manipulations of sound and data transmission. He can hack into any computer acoustically, and also can focus sound into a concussive blast.
Fiction
Animated cartoon
Sari spotted Laserbeak flying around the Autobot base when she came to visit, and followed him into a previously unknown basement, where she discovered Soundwave and the comatose Autobots. Sari tried to attack, but Soundwave lazily summoned Laserbeak and played a sweet riff, blowing her back to the elevator. As she rode the elevator up, Laserbeak clawed at her through the elevator cage. Human Error, Part I
 Spoiler warning: Plot details for Human Error, Part II follow. of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner |
When Sari returned to fight Soundwave with a group of "Substitute Autobots", Laserbeak swooped at her repeatedly until she blasted him out of the sky with her energy blasts. He then broke Wreck-Gar's accordion before going back to bothering Sari. When Optimus Prime regained control of himself, he grabbed Laserbeak, forced him to transform into guitar mode and started using his soundwaves to counter those emitted by Ratbat. He quickly got within range of Soundwave and started beating him up with his own guitar, breaking both Ratbat and his master into pieces.
A few minutes later, Laserbeak swooped down and picked up the tiny surviving fragment of Soundwave and flew off with it to places unknown. Human Error, Part II
Toys
Animated
- Soundwave (Deluxe, 2008)
- Laserbeak comes with Soundwave. He is awesome. He also transforms into what appears to be a flying Dean Razorback V. Not to scale, but still awesome. In either mode, Laserbeak can clip onto Soundwave's roof in vehicle mode or forearms in robot mode, allowing him to perch on his master's arm. In guitar mode, Soundwave can naturally hold him in a playing position.
Notes
- Many fans were surprised that Laserbeak did not make an appearance in "Sound and Fury". At BotCon 2008, it was revealed that the show's staff were unaware of Hasbro's decision to include him with the Soundwave toy, but explained that Laserbeak would appear when Soundwave returned in Season 3.
- We don't know how Laserbeak was created. If it happened without the aid of the AllSpark, he likely lacks a spark of his own.
