Doctor Fujiyama, who reportedly is a man of some renown in the scientific world, built a ninja robot. Her name was Nightbird, and her purpose was to benefit mankind. However, the Decepticons stole her and reprogrammed her to be evil, so he locked her away for humanity's protection. Enter the Nightbird

Excuse me, Daniel-san, but I seem to be bleeding oil.

Decades later, he built an army of them, and for some reason, that didn't go well either. Daniel Witwicky detonated an explosive device to destroy them, killing himself and Wheelie in the process. Departure

Notes

• In the script for "Enter the Nightbird", Dr. Fujiyama the Famous Scientist's last name is consistently spelled "Fujiama", omitting the "y". However, as Fujiyama is (bad) Japanese for "Mt. Fuji", it is possible that the episode writer did not know the proper spelling of the word. His name is written as "Fujiyama" in the Wreckers comic.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Hamada-hakase (ハマダ博士, "Doctor Hamada")
