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.

"Well done, Laserbeak. Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me" (Megatron, in TransFormers: The Movie).

1) In the work of JRR Tolkien, this is an elvish word used to refer to elves. More specifically, it refers to elves who made the journey west in the First Age, and their descendants (as opposed to the "dark elves" or Avari). All the major elven characters in Tolkien's novels are eldar.
2) In the Warhammer 40,000 (Games Workshop)universe, the Eldar are a race of aliens who live on Craft-worlds. Broadly good in alignment, they are divided into different units of bizarrely coloured guilds and crafts. Basically, futuristic elves. They dress in slim, streamlined armour with pointed helmets, and have many special units relying on otherworldly technologies and magic - including some which look remarkably like Star Wars speeder bikes, others which resemble floating disks, and giant godlike beings known as Avatars.

Inhabitants of Harad.
Tolkien's portrayal of the Haradrim is open to criticism for racism - at one point he describes them as looking like trolls because they are black. However, it should be noted that the Haradrim are typically cajoled into combat by evil Numenoreans, who are white - effectively parallelling the use of colonial troops in European armies.
The name "Haradrim" means "people of the south" in elvish. Also known as Southrons (although these are rendered as a separate people in some accounts).
