Nightclash

From MediaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Nightclash is an evil Autobot combiner from the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Let's just hope Nightbeat's had his shots.

Nightclash is the kind of gross combination form of Thunderclash and 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 that Nightclash is only called upon in the most dire of circumstances; his individual components being 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. Unfortunately, Nightbeat's paranoia and Thunderclash's even temper, well, clash. So much so 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

[edit]

Shattered Glass

[edit]
  • Nightbeat (BotCon 2008 Customization Class)
    • Accessories: Missile launcher, missile launcher sight, missile
This repaint of Timelines 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:{{#if:|:}}Terran Empire|{{#if:||Terran Empire}}]] from Star Trek's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Mirror Universe (Star Trek)|{{#if:Mirror Universe|Mirror Universe|Mirror Universe (Star Trek)}}]], the main inspiration for Shattered Glass.
  • Thunderclash (BotCon 2009 Customization Class)
    • Accessories: Missile launcher, "flame" missile
This repaint of BotCon 2009 Thunderclash (itself a redeco of Energon Rodimus) was only available in the BotCon 2009 customization class. 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 complement Shattered Glass Nightbeat. Like Nightbeat, the toy features a unique insignia.
Thunderclash transforms into a rocket-powered Cybertronian long-nose truck cab. He can also form the top or bottom half of a larger robot mode, compatible with any 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.

Notes

[edit]
  • A part of Nightclash's bio erroneously refers to him as Hyperdrive, suggesting that this was an earlier name for the combined form. It was probably changed because it conflicts with Thunderclash's bio on the same card, which claims that Hyperdrive was the former leader of the Elite Guard.
