Title:
Laserbeak Beast Mode
Description:
Laserbeak (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
TakaraTomy ID number: DD07
Accessories: MechTech Cybertronian Cannon A, Cybertronian Cannon B
Dark of the Moon Laserbeak transforms from a VTOL aircraft (similar to the G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Dragonhawk vehicle) to a Cybertronian bird/dragon thing. There are a total of eight MechTech weapon holes, from the top and bottom of both wings, to the bottom of both feet, as well as above and below the cockpit in vehicle mode. The red upper portion of his propellers can also be spun.The two weapons included have Gatling-style barrels, with one gun being static while the other having a MechTech swapping feature. Pulling the lever on the latter will make the barrel repeatedly spin forward to eventually reveal a second, different cannon barrel. The static gun can plug into the back of the MechTech gun to create a giant cannon. Both guns also include a C joint bar on top.The beast mode’s mouth can open, and the heels are actually 5mm pegs. Along with the peg-holes on the soles of his feet, this allows the toy to perch on the arm of any toy with the compatible holes or pegs. The cockpit/helmet of the vehicle mode has a stylized bird head painted on both sides.The red paint application on the larger weapon as shown on the packaging was left off on the actual toy.
The instructions show a different head than the final toy, one which evokes an eagle design rather than a vulture. The instructions also fail to mention that the black plastic flap on his tail can be swiveled over and pegged onto a small grey tab on the tail’s base, covering up his tail in vehicle mode and making him look just a bit more convincing as an aircraft, as shown in the stock photos. Care should be taken however, as the small tab is prone to stress marks and may eventually snap off.Laserbeak was initially packaged with the toy pointing diagonally to the left (like all Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class toys), with his guns placed to the right, pointing in the same direction as Laserbeak. A later variant saw Laserbeak pointing diagonally to the right, with the guns placed to the left, pointing straight up.His MechTech weapons were redecoed as the weapons for Streetside Bot Brawl Optimus Prime.
