Nightscream (Armada)

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 or Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Nightscream does happen to know the meaning of "quiet", he just does everything he can to avoid it. He's a rebellious, obnoxious, rambunctious little troublemaking punk whose speech synthesizer always seems to be cranked to eleven. Many are amazed at how well his quiet, professional-minded Autobot partner Airazor puts up with him... and are even more amazed when they discover that despite his attitude and vulgar behavior, Nightscream is outright devoted to her. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

While driving in car mode, Nightscream can emit a high-pitched sonic scream that scrambles audio circuits, and if he's going fast enough, even cause physical damage to nearby objects.

“	I hate the sound of silence.	”
—Nightscream's bio quote.

Toys

Armada

• Airazor with Nightscream (Super-Con, 2003)

• Takara release date: July 5, 2003

Armada Nightscream is a redeco of the Street Speed Mini-Con Team member Oval, transforming into a Saleen S7 luxury car. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket on his vehicle-mode underside (which ends up on his robot-mode left shin) which allows him to attach to any toy with a "Powerlinx" style 5 mm post; some toys have special Powerlinx posts that activate/unlock gimmicks when a Mini-Con is attached.

He was only available with the larger Autobot Airazor, in the sixth wave of Armada Super-Con toys.

As a hasty addition to the Armada toyline to meet demand, Airazor was not available in Takara's normal retail Legend of the Microns line. She was, however, offered in Japan as a "USA Edition" release, exclusive to Toys"R"Us stores.

Notes

• The other two Street Speed Mini-Con Team molds were used to make Skid-Z and Side Burn, released with Predacon.
• While the packaging for Airazor features an Autobot insignia, Airazor herself features a molded Decepticon insignia due to unexplained circumstances at Hasbro. Because of this, Nightscream could potentially be a Decepticon-aligned Mini-Con, depending on which faction you deem to be Airazor's "correct" one.
