Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In Viron 102.0 Beta, Nightcruz was one of Scavenger's students at the Autobot Military Academy and followed him to the Guard. From the Longbow, she helped face threats such as the Recyclons, Planet X in the Skeleton Nebula, Jhiaxus's Destructicons, and such bizarre threats as the Metabeasts of Zeotopia, the Intruder Empire, and the Elder Gods!

Robots in Disguise (2001)

• Nightcruz / Mirage GT / Scavenger (Mega-level 3-pack, 2002)

A redeco of the Beast Machines Vehicon Spy Streak, Nightcruz transforms into a Cybertronic jet similar to the (fictional) UI-4054 Aurora stealth jet. Her spark crystal and its housing are used to activate her nosecone-claw gimmick. In jet mode, this gimmick is linked up to her twin missile launcher, firing the missiles as the claw opens. She was available only in a 3-pack with Mirage GT and Scavenger.

This set was released in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive "USA Edition" set on July 31, 2002.

This mold was also used to make 2003 Universe Fireflight.
