This article is about the Energon Mini-Con. For the Robots in Disguise Autobot, see Nightcruz (RID).
Nightcruz is a Decepticon-aligned Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
'Mellow, easygoing.' Yeeeaaah.

Nightcruz is the type of bot who doesn't stick out in a crowd. An easygoing bot, he prefers it this way, as it makes working for Rapid Run as a spy a heck of a lot easier. All he has to do is go up to his target while taking in the scene, and analyze information that is of interest. Once he is done, he can go back to Rapid Run, turn into his head configuration, and download the information into Rapid's head. Then Nightscream can turn into his head mode, and once he analyzes for risks, they can go formulate their plan for minimum risk, and maximum profit![1].

Toys

Energon

  • Rapid Run (Combat Class, 2004)
A redeco of the Armada Mini-Con Crosswise, Nightcruz transforms into a robot head that fits into the shoulders of Rapid Run. By pushing Nightcruz's arms into the holes in Rapid Run's shoulders, they reveal a Decepticon sigil under his clear-plastic chestplate.
Nightcruz also forms the lower half of Nightcreeper with Nightscream.

Notes

  • While Nightcruz is serving as Rapid Run's head, Rapid Run is revealed as a Decepticon. However, Nightcruz himself is identified as an Autobot on the toy packaging.
