Fiction
Universe Featuring the Wreckers
Shortly after Cybertron's Great Reformatting, the Quintessons orchestrated a planet-wide invasion. While Judge Brinn led a team of Sharkticons through the lush, technorganic wilderness that had been Ankmor, Night Viper attacked, strangled, and killed the accompanying scientist Extempaxia with his deadly fangs. The Sharkticons retaliated by charbroiling Night Viper with their flamethrowers.
The remaining Quintessons laughed at how easy it was to burn these reformatted Transformers in their semi-organic state, but their glee was short-lived. Night Viper shed his burnt outer layer like a skin and assassinated the remaining Quintesson judge, verbally mocking them for their hubris. Wreckers: Finale Part II
Toys
Beast Machines
- Night Viper (Basic, 2000)
- Night Viper transforms into a midnight blue, blue-gray, red, and yellow technorganic cobra. His snake-mode head is spring-loaded; pressing on the clear-yellow part of the hood directly behind it launches it forward slightly, opening his jaws to bite. The sides of his hood form arm-mounted shields in robot mode, the right shield being armed with a flip-out scythe blade. His left shield contains his spark crystal. He's never been redecoed. Dammit.
Notes
- Night Viper's control art depicts him as having a melee weapon hidden in either shield. The right contains a scythe as in the finished product, while the left would have contained an anchor-shaped blade. This was likely cut to make room for the hidden Spark crystal.
