Nightclash

Nightclash is an Autobot from Shattered Glass continuity.

Woof!

Nightclash is the kind of gross combination form of Thunderclash and Nightbeat. It's not gross because of the colors (though that doesn't help), but because Nightbeat is basically robo-herpes on legs. Why, Thunderclash, why???

Nightclash is almost always combined with Thunderclash on top and Nightbeat on the bottom. Very rarely is the reverse seen.

Toys

Shattered Glass

• Nightbeat (BotCon 2008 Customization Class)
  • Accessories: Missile launcher, missile launcher sight, missile

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.

• Thunderclash (BotCon 2009 Customization Class)
  • Accessories: Missile launcher, "flame" missile

This repaint of BotCon 2009 Thunderclash was only available in the customization class at BotCon 2009. All parts of the mold were provided, but the individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy themselves. Its paint colors were chosen to compliment Shattered Glass Nightbeat. Like Nightbeat, the toy features a unique insignia.

Thunderclash transforms into a rocket-powered Cybertronic long-nose truck cab. He can also form the top or bottom half of a larger robot mode, compatible with any Energon Combat- or Mega-class Autobot combiner robot mold. He features a spring-loaded rocket thruster/missile launcher, plus a spark crystal that can be used as a mounting point for an energon chip.

This mold was also used to make Energon Checkpoint.
