Nightscream is an Autobot-allied Gigantion Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

The good-natured Nightscream is one of several Mini-Cons who have allied themselves with the Autobots. A messenger by trade, it's his job to get information to building crews working in areas of the Giant Planet that are out of radio range. He's quite good at what he does—some say he's the fastest thing on Gigantion—but the modest Mini-Con would rather do his job than boast about his mega-mile per hour rate.<ref>Official Transformers Collectors' Club site members' section, Micro-Sized Online!

Cybertron Nightscream is identical to the Classics Clear Skies Team Mini-Con Thunderwing, transforming into an F-14 Tomcat fighter jet.
He was "only" available in a special release of the Cybertron Primus toy which was only available at Walmart stores, which also comes with Knockdown, Offshoot, and Strongarm.
This mold was also used to make Noise Effect and Boltflash.

Notes

[edit]
  • Though painted in a different pattern, Nightscream seemingly shares the same blue-and-yellow colors with the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
  • A Mini-Con called Nightscream was planned for release in one of the Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs as part of the Night Rescue Team, facing off against Predator Attack Team member Skyblast. Nightscream's bio described him as a meek Mini-Con with plasma torpedoes in vehicle mode. Which mold exactly that bio was written for is anyone's guess.<ref>"TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON MINI-CON Class: SKYBLAST vs. NIGHTSCREAM Figures
    [...]
    "Not everyone in town is as afraid of the Predator Attack Team as they might think. Before the rebellion, NIGHTSCREAM kept his head down, going out only at night to hang with his friends on the Night Rescue Team – KNOCKDOWN and STRONGARM. After a lifetime of taking it on the chin, this young robot is sick of bullies like SKYBLAST. If everyone else in town is too much of a coward to deal with SKYBLAST and his cronies, NIGHTSCREAM is more than happy to do it. After all, what's the point of having a vehicle mode than can launch plasma torpedoes if you're not going to use it?"—Hidden bios for the unreleased Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs found on the Transformers website</ref>
