'''Nightbeat''' is a detective who prefers to investigate in solitude, rather than fight in the crowds of combat. He's got a face only [[Dracula]]'s mom would love.

**''Japanese ID number:''

:Nightbeat is a [[redeco]] of the Scout Class [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], transforming into a modified blue and tan [http://www.carsbase.com/photo/Peugeot_9009_Concept_model_6893.html Peugeot 9009] concept car. His license plate reads "NGTB34T." In addition to his otherwise fairly normal articulation, his jaw can open to reveal rows of jagged teeth.

:This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Slap Dash]].

==Notes==
* Of course, his bio and look make him a [[homage]] to the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]], even though the toy was originally conceived as an homage to [[Packrat]], according to [[Alex Androski|his deco artist]]. Marketing felt the name "Packrat" wouldn't appeal enough to children, and "Nightbeat" was the fallback name. The deco on the sides was subsequently changed to flames, along with the name on the license plate, but the gold still hints of Packrat's influence.
