... If those are what pterosaur wings actually looked like, I'm a monkey's uncle.

A fast flying pirate of the air, the mean menace that is Lazorbeak satiates his thirst for battle by seeking the one good point Maximals have: their melting points! He is aided in this by a powerful laser weapon. Unfortunately, his aggressive usage of this weapon rapidly diminishes his energon levels, usually limiting Lazorbeak to making only brief aerial attacks before converting back to pteranodon mode.

(Lazorbeak's tech spec bio has some similarities to Generation 1 Laserbeak's, leading some to believe he is the same character.)


Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

Lazorbeak was one of the protoforms on Earth reprogrammed into Predacons by Magmatron. He was sent to search for Razorbeast and his team of Maximals from the air by the recently revived Ravage. When Sky Shadow discovered the Maximals lair, Lazorbeak was among the Predacons who participated in the battle that ensued. After being beaten by the Maximals and their newly arrived reinforcements, Lazorbeak presumably retreated along with the other Predacons.

  • Lazorbeak (Basic, 1996)
A redeco and very slight retooling (he was given a space for an energon chip) of the original Terrorsaur mold, Lazorbeak transforms from a pterasaur of some probably-made-up kind to a robot with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. His pistol stores in a small recess behind his robot-mode head.
This mold was also used to make Fractyl, Hydra, and Terranotron.
