Nightscream (Cybertron)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Nightscream" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Nightscream (disambiguation). |
- Nightscream is an Autobot-allied Gigantion Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
The good-natured Nightscream is one of several Mini-Cons who have allied themselves with the Autobots. A messenger by trade, it's his job to get information to building crews working in areas of the Giant Planet that are out of radio range. He's quite good at what he does—some say he's the fastest thing on Gigantion—but the modest Mini-Con would rather do his job than boast about his mega-mile per hour rate.[1]

Notes
- Though painted in a different pattern, Nightscream seemingly shares the same blue-and-yellow colors with the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
- A Mini-Con called Nightscream was planned for release in one of the Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs as part of the Night Rescue Team, facing off against Predator Attack Team member Skyblast. Nightscream's bio described him as a meek Mini-Con with plasma torpedoes in vehicle mode. Which mold exactly that bio was written for is anyone's guess.[2]

"Before the MINI-CON rebels cut off his settlement from the territory controlled by the Council of Sages, SKYBLAST thought his remote town was pretty boring. Now that there are no Council cops to bother him, though, this young thug and his crew are running things. Together with the other members of the Predator Attack Team - TERRORSAUR and OFFSHOOT - he's terrorized everyone in town into submission. When the MINI-CON robots among whom he grew up hear the thunder of his battle roar in the sky, they cower in fear, and that's just the way he likes it."—Hidden bios for the unreleased Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs found on the Transformers website
