Title:

Nightbeat Vehicle Mode

Description:
Nightbeat (Titan Master, 2016)

Accessories: jet/drill-tank

Part of the first wave of individually-packed Titans Return Titan Masters, Nightbeat transforms from robot to a head based on the original Nightbeat toy’s. In this mode, Nightbeat can serve as the head of any Titans Return Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. He also features ports in his feet that allow him to peg onto a wide variety of Titans Return figures. It’s worth noting however his blue plastic matches the colored plastic used by Blurr.Nightbeat is packaged with a small vehicle that can transform into three modes: a jet for Nightbeat to ride, a drill-tank formed by combining with Nightbeat, and a 5 mm drill weapon for larger figures. His head has a tendency to get stuck, causing it to pop off at the neck when removing him. The shape of the tank’s back end also makes inserting him as instructed somewhat awkward. A solution to both problems is to insert him into the slot with his head mode face pointing up, rotating the body, and then finally folding the legs in place.As with most Titan Master vehicle accessories, care must be taken with the gun mode’s handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5 mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle’s lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint. Also, most of the units had a problem with the legs not folding down neatly in head mode due to the tolerance of the side panels on the legs.Nightbeat was originally designed by Emiliano Santalucia as a new character, and sported an original head-mode design. Between the promotional render and the final product, the plastic color of Nightbeat’s shins was changed from yellow to blue. His face is also a more orange-y yellow than the brighter yellow plastic, while his eyes are dark orange instead of blue.His vehicle was redecoed as Moguru and packaged with Legends Chromedome. His head mode served as the model for Soundwave’s head in several e-HOBBY comics. Nightbeat, along with Skytread, was also re-released as part of the fourth wave of Titan Masters alongside Shuffler and Repugnus. Nightbeat’s main body was later retooled into Ghost Starscream.
