He's not terrible once you have him in hand but you know, you'll have to get over the chest thing. I still think it's the best DOTM Prime toy in the main line though. That or cyberverse. Take your pick. Personally I love Fireburst Prime’s axe. He’s not terrible once you have him in hand but you know, you’ll have to get over the chest thing.

May have to order it online *grumble*. So, anyone know if any of the Prime's are worth picking up once I get my check next month XD?

Love the bird mode, loved him in the movie. Without a doubt he was the best 'Con in the entire trilogy, going purely from the movies.

It's funny how Laserbeak had way more characterization than Soundwave did in two movies. Or Shockwave, the "key" villain. I really liked him. I also wish he had eaten Sam. “And all his dialog fleshed out Laserbeak as a character in his own right, rather than ‘that guy hanging out on Soundwave’s arm…’”

Sort of like the flying Terminators in the battle scene at the beginning of T2. It's still pretty clunky, but not bad. The bird mode kills it though. From the bulging eyes, short beak, scrawny neck and tail, chunky body, huge upper legs and skinny lowers legs... well, it looks more like a robotic turkey then some sort of bird of prey. Here's hoping the Human Alliance version pulls it off better. I assumed the vehicle mode was supposed to be some sort of hovering gunship.

Then I saw the movie and suddenly, it doesn't look so goofy, more like pants shittingly horrifying.

Laserbeak's altmode is based off of the Dragonhawk from the short-lived G.I. Joe line, Sigma Six. And now you know. Hey Walky, longtime fan, first time comment.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I knew I was gona like this toy when I first saw it. I mean, at least he turns into something that looks like a vehicle, rather than Ravage's lay-down-and-sleep mode. Overall I thought this was a particularly stand-out toy in the line so far! Wow, I really liked both modes! Haven’t seen the movie yet, but I knew I was gona like this toy when I first saw it.
