Laserbeak (Cybertron)
| 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 first seen in 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]
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime stated that the Planet X which attacked the Gigantion of Aurex 802.23 Alpha was the headquarters of the remnants of the Cybertronian Empire from Primax 994.0 Gamma. Presumably the Laserbeak active in Aurex 802.23 Alpha (or the 'bots who built him) was a Cybertronian from Primax 994.0 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/05 On the other hand, Vector Prime stated that the Planet X which attacked Gigalonia in Aurex 105.08 Alpha was half the body of Unicron from Primax 886.0 Gamma. Presumably the Laserbeak active in Aurex 105.08 Alpha (or the 'bots who built him) was a Transformer consumed by Unicron and later resurrected by his systems. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/08

Toys
Cybertron
- Soundwave (Voyager class, 2005)
- Laserbeak is packaged with his partner Soundwave. His alternate mode is one of Soundwave's bombs, and 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 his peg into one of the trailing edge holes. Since Laserbeak is not designed to be a Mini-con, he does not have a Powerlinx adapter, nor does he bear the Mini-Con insignia. Nevertheless, the packaging still calls him one.
- This mold was used to make Hell Buzzsaw and Blockrock.

Footnotes
- ↑ Soundwave's bio in the Transformers Collectors' Club Official Newsletter #9
- ↑ Soundwave's packaging labels Laserbeak as a Mini-Con. Soundwave's Fun Publications profile states that Laserbeak is mistakenly believed to be a Mini-Con. This is interesting, since the packaging callout and the bio were both written by Hasbro copy-writer Forest Lee.
