Fiction
Animated cartoon
Nightbeat, along with fellow classmates Siren and Hosehead, was perplexed by the addition of Sari Sumdac to her class. Under the tutelage of Arcee, the class took a field trip to The Metroplex. Nightbeat became excited when Sari became separated from the class, sensing a mystery afoot. She and her classmates tracked down Sari with a strange talking cube being menaced by machinery runamuck, which they promptly subdued. The cause of the malfunctions was Kremzeek, an ancient Decepticon weapon, which wasted no time in possessing Nightbeat. Arcee drove the creature out, who then jumped into Siren and Hosehead in turn, before heading to Fortress Maximus in Sari's jetpack. Sari and Arcee took off after the creature, leaving Nightbeat and her classmates behind.
After the creature was subdued, Nightbeat delivered a network-executive-friendly recap of the lesson they all learned about not pre-judging techno-organic Autobots.The Return of Blurr
