A Decepticon cassette, one of the original
Generation 1 Series 1 TransFormers. Laserbeak transforms from a bird (buzzard or eagle) mode into a cassette mode, and can be placed inside
Soundwave as a cassette.
In various formats (TV series, movie, children's books, US and UK comics) he is used mainly as an espionage agent who finds out secrets while perched on various roofs and ledges. Although his
tech spec says that he is too afraid to make a good spy and that he really specialises in interrogation, he is never shown this way in his various appearances in print and on screen.
