Laserbeak drone (Cybertron)

This article is about the Planet X drones. For the Planet X individual, see Laserbeak (Cybertron). For a list of other meanings, see Laserbeak (disambiguation).

This article is about the mass-produced Plant X drones from Cybertron. For the mass-produced drones from Human Alliance, see Laserbeak drone (HA).

Laserbeak drones are agents of Planet X first seen in the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

"We can't stop here, this is Bird country!"

The Laserbeak drones are soldiers of Planet X, a mindless drone army accompanying the Noisemazes Mass Production Type Version into battle against other worlds. Together, they have consumed countless planets.

Soundwave has programmed one of these drones with a part of his personality, allowing that drone to serve as his partner.

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 drones active in Aurex 802.23 Alpha (or their builders) were Cybertronians 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 drones active in Aurex 105.08 Alpha (or their builders) were Transformers consumed by Unicron in Primax 886.0 Gamma and later resurrected by his systems.

Cybertron cartoon

Eons of your years ago, the armies of Planet X moved across the cosmos, consuming world after world. However, that march stopped when they reached Gigantion the Giant Planet. The mass armies were decimated in the war, and seemingly whatever was left was incinerated in the explosion that destroyed Planet X itself.

While exploring the lower levels of Gigantion, Lori, Override, and Wing Saber discovered an ancient holographic recording that showed the original invasion of Gigantion by the mass-produced Planet X warriors, which included Laserbeak drones. Ambush

Later, after a clash between Galvatron and Starscream caused their space bridge to collapse, the Autobots and their human allies were trapped in Gigantion's dimension. They managed to build a new space bridge generator, but the new space bridge they created brought in endless swarms of Laserbeak drones to attack them! Optimus Prime told the Autobots to fight back, but they were quickly overwhelmed and forced to destroy the space bridge generator, which caused the Laserbeak drones to fade out of existence.

Toys

Cybertron

• Soundwave w/ Laserbeak (Voyager Class, 2005)

Cybertron Laserbeak was repurposed as Cybertron Laserbeak drone.

Technically, this toy represents Soundwave's partner, but it could be considered to represent the Laserbeak drones as well.

This mold was used to make Hell Buzzsaw and Blockrock.

Notes

• Where exactly the Laserbeak drones seen in the episode "Guardian" come from differs between the two versions of the episode: in Galaxy Force it is said that they came through time from an era when Planet X still existed, while in Cybertron they're simply present-day survivors of Planet X.
