Beak is a body part; laser associated with weapons but also fairly common in households - CD / DVD player, etc.

Laserbeak must be the answer. The only other one I can think of would be Wingblade but (to my knowledge) there is only one of him.

How many blades do we all have? Before I came up with Laserbeak I was like "Razorclaw!!!", but was then puzzled about why Phil had so many razors lying around. -Jim

The only true Laserbeak is Armada Laserbeak.

Yes BW Laserbeak counts

Lazorbeak is not Laserbeak!!! That's like saying Optimus Minor was Optimus Primal because they sound similar!

'Some to believe he is the same character'.
What next? Merlin was King Arthur because someone on the Internet said so?

Honourable mentions: Armada - should have been red and a Decepticon. GDO which invokes the spirit of the original toy. 5) BWTerrorsaur took black and red so they had to improvise. But there isn't a bad version of the BW Basi dinobird. 4) Titans ReturnNeeded more red. 3) LegendsGot more red. I didn't think the grey on the toy would work but it does. 2) MPReally good attempt, but something about the wing shape bothers me. 1) 1984Original and best.

I may be misremembering but was Armada Laserbeak not originally meant to be red and black but changed to orange because it looks like a gun?
IIRC it is also the only Armada mould never to be recoloured!

I remember when literally the only Transformer toy Hamleys had was a wall of Armada Laserbeaks. Massively overpriced, as is their way.
I really liked how it looked in the orange and blue, and slightly regret never having owned one.

It is indeed. I genuinely thought it was one of the better early Armada toys.

Of course Lazorbeak is a Laserbeak. That's like saying a toy called Trailcutter isn't a Trailbreaker.
Anyway:
5) The SCF one that came with Megatron. Doesn't transform but at the time it was nice to see the cartoon/comic model in plastic. (and at the time believing this was the only way it could be done)
4) The Cybertron one. Cleverly worked into Stealth Jet Soundwave by being a bomb!
3) Armada. I got this in France (before we had it here) when I was on a work trip visiting European Toys R Us stores. One of the first role-play Transformers for a long time, with sounds and a triple changer! A shame it didn't keep the realistic colours of the original prototype, but a great companion toy!
2) Original. Just because!
1) Masterpiece. Very clever!

Is this the roleplay one? Mine is... Sealed.
Which is unusual for that era. All my Armada toys are open bar that and one other. Possibly smokescreen.

Trailcutter is Trailbreaker because the toys were clearly meant to be Trailbreaker but the name was changed due to Hasbro not being able to use the name of Trailbreaker at the time.
Lazorbeak and Laserbeak are different characters and look different.
