	[[~~Image:Nightbeat07.jpg\|thumb\|Highway surfing!~~]]		* [[Aaron Archer]], posting as "Orson", once gave signs that "Nightbeat" was actually meant to be Side Swipe's name and somehow had gotten swapped to his Mini-Con. He mentioned trying to get this corrected, but it never came to be.
	*In a bizarre case of on-screen toy accuracy, Nightbeat ~~jumps out from the trunk compartment found inside [[~~Side Swipe ~~(Armada)\|Side Swipe]]~~, ~~activates the button on his hood and then returns~~ to ~~motorcycle mode and [[Powerlinx]] onto the back end of the car mode in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)\|Armada]]'' episode "[[Past]]"~~.

	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''.
