We first see it in WOTG. Whether it was intentional or not, the FX team only animated the laser beam in when the Colonials were shooting at living humanoid beings. I won’t go into too much detail here, but I have a theory that I explain in detail on my ever-so-slowly-built web site, which basically suggests that the Colonial weapons are true lasers, but incorporate a plasma component setting that increases their effectiveness against living targets.
