Novakane is a Terrorcon from the Rise of the Beasts portion of the Movie continuity family.
Give me a long kiss goodnight, and everything'll be alright. Tell me that I won't feel a thing, so give me Novakane.

Novakane is one of Scourge's Sweeps, often partnered with Freezer to cause chaos.

Fiction

Rise of the Beasts film

Scourge deployed Freezer and Novakane to retrieve the Transwarp Key and kill the two humans aware of its existence, Elena Wallace and Noah Díaz. They pursued them through the museum, having the brute strength to smash through doors, but also moving stealthily with their ability to cling to walls. When one of them was about to get to Elena, Noah momentarily stopped him by hitting his head with a relic, and the humans managed to run out the exit, where a heated battle between the Autobots and the Terrorcons was taking place. Both Freezer and Novakane followed the humans outside, where they attacked and fought against Mirage until the battle was over.

During the final battle for the Transwarp Key in Peru, Novakane was dispatched alone—as his partner had already been killed off—to hunt Elena through the access tunnel, and cornered her over a pool of lava before she impaled him in the head and sent him falling into the magma. Rise of the Beasts

The preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the book "Mission at the Museum".

Notes

  • Novakane is, for some inscrutable reason, named after the anaesthetic drug [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Procaine|{{#if:Novocaine|Novocaine|Procaine}}]]. A set of licensed Chinese trading cards actually spelled the name "Novocaine", but both production staff and the Studio Series toy use the "Novakane" spelling.
  • The CGI models used for Freezer and Novakane suggest they were supposed to have distinct characteristics on their faces to make it easier to tell them apart, with promotional material suggesting Freezer is the one with two scars on his forehead and Novakane is the one that had his left antenna cut off. However, a gaffe by the animators led to both designs being used interchangeably in the film itself, not only between the two Sweeps that follow Scourge around but also between multiple larger-sized Sweeps that share their body-type during the final battle.
  • Despite the difficulty of telling the Sweeps apart, "The Search Is On", the book that follows "Mission at the Museum", namedrops Freezer as the Sweep that hunts down the humans in the Peruvian cave, leaving Novakane to be the one seen in the final battle before perishing in the lava.
