The SEIBERTRON.com Toy Galleries have a new addition. Seibertron has posted his latest gallery. The latest figure to get the Seibertron gallery treatment is Transformers Armada Laserbeak. You can check out 83 high quality photos of Laserbeak. Once you have done that, do not forget to check out the rest of the SEIBERTRON.com Toy Galleries.

Yet another great gallery, Ryan! Thank you!

I got looking at the Armada galleries because of this, and I can't help but ask: Wasn't Powerlinx Thrust brown? I know it was intended to be red, as this link shows, but I remember the figure somehow ended up being brown instead and I thought the red wasn't released in America.

Know I'm off topic putting it here, it's just that the new gallery is what got me looking, and that's how I ended up seeing the Powerlinx Thrust gallery I linked to up above.

You're correct. It is written under the fourth pic in that gallery:

That's too bad. I would have bought one.

And how quickly the thread gets derailed from the topic at hand. The gallery is, once again, fantastic. I just never had the urge to buy Laserbeak. Maybe it's the fact that he should come out of Soundwave's chest...

meh... it does look like the one from the tv show, so I can't complain there.. but I prefer the original, or the new ipod one..

Never seen this figure before...he looks like an ice cream cart. :))

The red version turned up over here eventually as well, though not until well into Energon. I found him in the Entertainer in Nottingham a while back, along with Airazor, Rhinox and Terrorsaur.

Yeah, that's my fault. Sorry. I just couldn't resist asking about the Thrust gallery is all. I did see the caption about how the figure was released, I was just curious about why red Thrust, not brown. Really didn't mean to get so off topic. Speaking of which:

It is a great gallery. Although my Tidal Wave is actually the Energon repaint, I think I got all the molds first released during Armada except for Overload and the sea mini-cons. I'm a bit surprised that Laserbeak hasn't turned up as a gallery here on seibertron before. I thought it had (that's what got me looking at Thrust to begin with, but I'll nix that now to stay on topic). Now's a great time to do it, though, because of the object-former camera that appeared with Laserbeak here.

Wasn't there already a Laserbeak gallery?

Not for Armada Laserbeak.

Hotrod's right. I thought there was too, and that's what got me looking at red Thrust to begin with; I was gonna have a look at it, but you can't peep a gallery that isn't there to peep.

The waste of space award goes to armada laserbeak. I never figured out why they even made a toy of this character he made maybe two appearence in the show.

But you know that if he had appeared in the show and they hadn't made the toy, people would be wanting one made! Fans are fickle.

Besides, if minor appearances don't warrant a toy, then what about all the toys of non-show characters? They'd be gone!

I was fortunate enough to obtain a A-Laserbeak toy from TJ Hughes for £1 on clearance...

awesome red thrust btw

I'm pretty sure there was one for him. Didn't Ryan do Armada galleries back when the toys first came out?

Yes, there was. Darth Bombshell is correct. It was years ago.

Damn. I remember when the site used to look like that. Man, I'm old...

I'd be surprised if anyone didn't. Five or so years isn't that long in the grand scheme of things!
