Nitrostreak is a Maximal from the Beast Era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
I have a name and a robot mode, I swear.

Nitrostreak is an elite officer of the Maximal Command Security Force with the badge designation "Unit 1". He is partnered with his good friend "Unit 2", the Maximal who would later become Tigatron. Together they are tasked with guarding Cybertron's greatest and most mysterious artifacts... but not told exactly what those are.

Gee.

Fiction

[edit]

Dawn of Future's Past

[edit]
Michael, why don't you answer?

Nitrostreak and Unit 2 sped towards their quarry, a gang of Predacons. After being alerted that not only did they not need to know what the Predacons had stolen, but they were also not allowed to use lethal force, Nitrostreak received a laserblast to the hood thanks to the Predacon who would later be known as Dinobot. He was flipped over and received damage to his transformation cog that left him stuck in car mode, but he assured Unit 2 he would be okay and that the still-functional officer should go ahead.

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Nitrostreak was part of a police force that chased after a group consisting of Packrat, Escargon, and Trans-Mutate after a heist they pulled off. They were distracted from pursuing the getaway vehicle when Packrat and Escargon kicked Trans-Mutate off the vehicle. Perception

Later on, during the Grand Uprising, Nitrostreak and the MCSF abandoned the Builders for the Maximal Nation. He fought alongside Aura and Stopgap in the big push on Nova Cronum. Derailment

Notes

[edit]
  • Nitrostreak was not named in "Dawn of Future's Past". His name was revealed by Fun Publications staff at BotCon 2006.
  • No toy of Nitrostreak was made. However in "Dawn of Future's Past", he is modeled after the Cybertron Scout Class Clocker mold. A hand-painted custom was shown at BotCon 2006, but there were never any plans to make him. Though the custom was not shown in robot mode (nor was Nitrostreak's robot mode ever shown in the comic), subsequent art has depicted him with the original Clocker head, not the retooled Cheetor/Tigatron head.
  • Meanwhile, his appearance in the Beast Wars: Uprising story "Perception" is modeled on Classics Deluxe Class Rodimus.
