Black beam gun
- The black beam gun is a weapon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
When Tracks wants to give the Autobots an edge in the war against the Decepticons, he whips out his black beam gun. This weapon emits a blinding cloud of black gas, blotting out all light and leaving its victims flailing about in the dark. From there, they're easy pickings for Tracks and his buddies.
