Transformers Dark of the Moon: Mech Tech Laserbeak Review

 I can't believe I only have on other Transformer review on here.  Oh well here's Laserbeak from Dark of the Moon.  He's really hard to find in stores and when one of my local Targets had this on sale for $9.99 I picked him up to go with my Soundwave collection.  He looks really good in plane mode but suffers in bird mode because of his doofy looking head.  Another thing I'm not getting is because he's bird already, why does Laserbeak turn into a hoverplane drone thing?  If he's already a robot bird what's the point of turning into something else that can fly?



 Nice glamor shots on the back.  In packaging doesn't look so great. 


 I really like Laserbeak's alternate mode.  This hovership looks like something straight out of Metal Gear. 



 Laser beak comes with two Mech Tech guns than combine into a bigger gun. 

 I read a lot of people buy this toy for the Mech Tech gun.  Not really worth it in my opinion.  I cannot get the barrel to stay straight if I do this combined mode. 


 The guns look ridiculous on Laserbeak no matter which mode. 



 Bird mode is alright.  Feels like a cheap model because of it's transformation process. 


 Laserbeak's head also feels looks weird.  Not my favorite part of the toy. 





 I cannot wait for Human Alliance Soundwave so I can have a bigger Soundwave to pose with these guys. 





Not much else to say here.  He's a cool toy if you like Soundwave.  On his own I would not recommend buying him by himself. In my opinion he's a little disappointing unless you have a Soundwave display, then he fits right in.  It also felt really good to pay only $9.99 for a toy instead of the $14+ it is now. 


COLLECTORS:  Try not to pay over retail  for him.  Overall he's good for Movie displays but on his own he looks eh. 

PARENTS:  Your children will have an easy time transforming this toy so pick it up for them if they really want it.
