As soon as I finish this jaunty Irish jig, you're under arrest.

Nightbeat is an Autobot in the Generation One continuity family.

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, who he gets along amazingly well with. The two seem to have been of one mind even before they were binary bonded.

Feel the beat of the rhythm of the Nightbeat.

While being driven by Muzzle on the surface of an unidentified planet (with Siren and Hosehead at his sides), Nightbeat transformed into robot mode. Shortly thereafter, three Decepticon Headmasters burst through a wall, and Nightbeat engaged Horri-Bull in battle.

IDW comics continuity

Nightbeat, in trying to answer the mystery of the first ark, got captured by a unknown villian and had a chip put in his head. Then he went to earth. His monitors make Optimus Prime look funny.
