'''Nightbeat''' makes up for his small-even-for-a-Mini-Con stature with unmatched guts and a creative streak a mile wide. Despite being weaker than most Mini-Cons and not having any real manipulators to speak of, he's willing to take any risk there is.<br />
<br />
As if his larger [[Autobot]] partner [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] isn't impulsive enough, Nightbeat encourages him to go along with more crazy risks, with his dutiful partner, of course. The two are very much alike: act-first, think-later types who have big dreams of being mighty warriors for good, and they often find themselves together in bad situations. But none of this has fazed Nightbeat in the slightest... it only means he has to try even ''harder''.<br />
<br />
An [[Nightbeat (Universe)|alternate-universe incarnation]] of Nightbeat is the partner to the [[Decepticon]] [[Treadshot (Universe)|Treadshot]].<br />

During Side Swipe's first tour on [[Earth]], he chased the former Autobot [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] in vehicle mode. Nightbeat leapt from Side Swipe's storage compartment in order to activate his partner's dragster mode, then returned to the compartment. {{storylink|Past, Part 1|Past, Part 1}}<br />
<br />
After [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s death, Nightbeat was one of a group of Mini-Cons who confronted the angst-ridden [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], forcing the young 'bot to try to come to terms with the loss of his leader. {{storylink|Remorse|Remorse}}<br />

Nightbeat was one of the Mini-Cons who gathered on Earth just before the Transformers' return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], in preparation for the coming of [[Unicron]].<br />
