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".

Toys

Studio Series

No, look again—that's actually my arm.
  • Terrorcon Novakane (Core Class, 2023)
  • Movie: Rise of the Beasts
  • TakaraTomy ID number: SS-121
  • Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro), Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Part of the eighth wave of Studio Series Core Class figures, Terrorcon Novakane is a redeco and head retool of fellow Terrorcon Freezer's figure, based on the character's appearance in Rise of the Beasts. Compared to Freezer, Novakane has lighter beige and darker gunmetal plastics with the orange/bronze paint apps changed to yellow/gold, and his headsculpt features a damaged left side. He does not have the loose joints and cracking elbow issues that Freezer had.
Novakane converts from a Frenzy-esque four-armed robot into three Cybertronian weapon modes: a handheld blaster for other figures, a free-standing gun emplacement, and a configuration designed to attach to Studio Series Scourge's truck bed. These alternate modes were created for the toy as Novakane does not transform in the film. Despite this, the blaster barrel was not made compatible with contemporary Fire Blast effects. His hands use 5mm ports instead of 3mm like other Core Class figures.
His packaging and insert are decorated with the inside of the museum where he chases the humans. His instructions use Decepticon purple instead of the blue introduced for the Maximals and Terrorcons.
