:''Nightclash is an Autobot from [[Shattered Glass]] [[continuity]].''

[[Image:Timelinestoy-Nightclash.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Let's just hope Nightbeat's had his shots.]]

'''Nightclash''' is the kind of gross combination form of [[Thunderclash (Shattered Glass)|Thunderclash]] and [[Nightbeat (Shattered Glass)|Nightbeat]]. It's not gross because of the colors (though that doesn't help), but because Nightbeat is basically robo-herpes on legs. In fact, Thunderclash has to be super-careful while combined with Nightbeat to avoid contracting his various diseases. It's just as well, as Nightclash is only called upon in the most dire of circumstances; his individual components are too integral to the Autobot forces to risk losing.

But when extreme circumstances call for extreme measures, Nightclash is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Thunderclash's thrusters gives the combined form flight, and its strength surpasses that of even [[Megatron (Shattered Glass)|Megatron]]. Unfortunately, Nightbeat's paranoia and Thunderclash's even temper, well, ''clash''. So much that Nightclash's thought processes can easily grind to a halt.

Nightclash is almost always combined with Thunderclash on top and Nightbeat on the bottom. Very rarely is the reverse seen.

==Toys==
===Shattered Glass===
*'''Nightbeat''' (BotCon 2008 Customization Class)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile launcher sight, missile

:This [[repaint]] of [[Timelines|''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]]''.

*'''Thunderclash''' (BotCon 2009 Customization Class)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, "flame" missile

:This [[repaint]] of [[BotCon 2009]] [[Thunder Clash#Timelines|Thunderclash]] was only available in the customization class at [[BotCon 2009]]. All parts of the mold were provided, but the individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy themselves. Its paint colors were chosen to compliment ''Shattered Glass'' Nightbeat. Like Nightbeat, the toy features a unique [[insignia]].

: Thunderclash transforms into a rocket-powered Cybertronic long-nose truck cab. He can also form the top or bottom half of a larger robot mode, compatible with any ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Combat- or Mega-class Autobot combiner robot mold. He features a spring-loaded rocket thruster/missile launcher, plus a [[spark crystal]] that can be used as a mounting point for an [[energon chip]].

: This mold was also used to make ''Energon'' [[Checkpoint (Energon)|Checkpoint]].

==Notes==
* A part of Nightclash's [[bio]] erroneously refers to him as [[Hyperdrive (Turbomaster)|Hyperdrive]], whereas the earlier Thunderclash bio on the same card claims that Hyperdrive was the former leader of the Elite Guard.
