'''Nightbeat''', he's a real bad copper, see? He'll plug a wiseguy just for glancin' at him cockeyed. Nightbeat don't take kindly to no doublecrossers, turncoats, backstabbers or stool-pigeons! He's Chief of the [[Secret Police]], so if you got a problem you better button ya lip, see? Any mug what don't pipe down when he says so winds up goin' for a little "ride"; and you know what ''that'' means, don'tcha?

He likes to torture, see? Mutilate! Maim! Agonize! Hook yer tender bits up to a dynamo and crank the dial! Get the picture? The [[Autobot]]s hate his guts, see, and the [[Decepticon]]s don't like him much, neither!

Nightbeat's got himself a case of the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|cosmic rust]], see? It's spread all over his body, ''see''? Makes him fall apart, '''see'''!? It ain't contagious, but any mook caught starin' is gonna find themselves wearin' a pair of "cement slippers", and that ain't no name brand!

When the goin' gets tough, he can combine with [[Thunderclash (SG)|Thunderclash]] to make [[Nightclash]], see? Once he does that, they'll never take him alive!

''Nyeah!''

==Fiction==
===Shattered Glass===
[[Image:Nightbeatsgcomic.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Seen this?]]

Nightbeat ain't no nancyboy, see? He was right there in the thick of it when those do-gooder Decepticon goombas attacked the launching platform of the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''. But Nightbeat don't run from nothin', see? He fought it out with the rest of em! ''Nyeah''! {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

When that back-stabbin' [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] decided to ditch [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] during the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s second launch attempt, Nightbeat got tossed outta the ship, see? Fer bein' too loyal! ''Nyeah''! That's right! ''Too'' loyal! ''Nyeah''! He had to go give Prime the bad news! The red letter! The hot water! They were all stuck on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] since the planet had just entered the [[Plait Expanse]]. {{storylink|Do Over}}

==Toys==
===Timelines===

*'''Nightbeat''' (Deluxe, BotCon 2008 Customization Class)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile

:This [[repaint]] of [[Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] was only available in the customization class at [[BotCon 2008]]. All parts of the mold were provided, but the individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy themselves. It uses the same plastic colors as ''Timelines'' Nightbeat, but without the flame deco and with extensive additions of black paint, no doubt to emphasize the doppelganger's "evil-ness". It also has a unique faction [[insignia]]: an Autobot symbol pierced at the center by a dagger (representing the Autobot Secret Police), which is very likely an homage to the emblem of the [[wikipedia:Terran Empire|Terran Empire]] from ''Star Trek'''s [[wikipedia:Mirror Universe (Star Trek)|Mirror Universe]], the main inspiration for ''[[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]''.

==Notes==
*Don'tcha get it? Lemme spell it out for ya, see? Nightbeat's speech, it's a caricature of this clown, [[wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]]. ''Nyeah'', those Decepti-creeps are gonna get it, savvy?
