  • Nightbeat (BotCon 2008 Customization Class)
This repaint of Timelines Nightbeat was only available in the customization class at BotCon 2008. All parts of the mold were provided, but the individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy themselves. It uses the same plastic colors as Timelines Nightbeat, but without the flame deco and with extensive additions of black paint, no doubt to emphasize the doppelganger's "evil-ness". It also has a unique faction insignia: an Autobot symbol pierced at the center by a dagger (representing the Autobot Secret Police), which is very likely an homage to the emblem of the Terran Empire from Star Trek's Mirror Universe, the main inspiration for Shattered Glass.
