Laserbeak is a rocker from the Knights of Unicron continuity family.

Laserbeak longed to join the Knights of Unicron before becoming an actual member of the band. Now that he has been recruited amongst their ranks, he is ready to rock out at all times! Though he enjoys participating in concerts while in his normal form, he understands that he shines brightest when being played by Megatron in his electric guitar mode.

Fiction

Behind the Music

Laserbeak served as Megatron's guitar during the band's concerts. He otherwise stayed out of the limelight, as the band's more colorful personalities drew more headlines for their extravagant and often controversial actions. Behind the Music

Games

Transformers Legends

Laserbeak, Ratbat, and Jazz auditioned together to join the Knights of Unicron. Though the auditions that followed were grueling, it was worth the effort as they were eventually welcomed into the Knights' ranks! Years of face-melting rock ensued, until the band split up due to infighting. Knights of Unicron

• Knights of Unicron Reunion Tour Set (San Diego Comic-Con 2014 exclusive, 2014)
  • Accessories: Guitar strap

A redeco of Animated Laserbeak, Knights of Unicron Laserbeak transforms from bird-bot into a "flying V" electric guitar in screamin' red-and-white colors. Added to this iteration of the mold is a silver elastic fabric strap, so he can be "held" by his partner Megatron, as the larger bot's hands are not open enough to actually hold him. (Megatron's arm jointing is a little awkward even with the strap keeping Laserbeak in place.)

He was only available in the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con "Knights of Unicron Reunion Tour Set", which also included hair-metal versions of Megatron, Optimus Prime, Smooth Jazz, Soundwave, and fellow instrument-bot Ratbat.

He was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Laserbeak.
