Nightbeat (G1)
Nightbeat is an Autobot in the Generation One universe.
Nightbeat, a self-declared detective, loves mystery, suspense, and conspiracy. When Nightbeat is on the trail for clues, nothing else matters. This blindsidedness has famously gotten him into trouble over his head more times than he can count. Yet in the face of adversity, he remains cool, confident, and even irreverent. He has insulted creatures many times his size and commited huge faux pas to uncover the truth. It is not so much that Nightbeat is brave, but more that the thrill of the hunt has him -- and he will not be denied.
Nightbeat has a Headmaster partner, Muzzle.
Motto: "Truth is revealed in the smallest detail."
Bio: Tough, no-nonsense type. Sometimes breaks rules in order to get what he wants. Works best when he works alone. As comfortable driving down a dark alley as he is on a well-lit, six-lane superhighway. Binary-bonded to Muzzle, a Nebulan private detective with an eye for detail. Carries two photon pistols and a plasma blaster with an infra-red sight. Also equipped with visual and audio sensors. Usually gets by with just cool-headed logic.
Animated Continuity
Nightbeat never appeared in any of the Transformers cartoons.
Marvel Comic Continuity
Nightbeat was one of the Autobots captured by Thunderwing during the Matrix Quest storyline.
