Title:
Nightbeat
Description:
Nightbeat (Deluxe, 2014)
Series / Number: 02 / #020
Accessories: 2 blasters
Part of the tenth wave of 2012-onwards Generations Deluxe Class toys, Thrilling 30 Nightbeat is a retool of Thrilling 30 Deluxe Class Bumblebee with a new head. He comes with two blasters which peg via 5 mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon. The new head is designed to feature light-piping, but is painted over on both the front and back in red, thus rendering the gimmick useless. Some units have shins that are glued into place so that they no longer move laterally during transformation.
He comes packaged with a copy of "Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9”, in which Nightbeat appears in the background of a single panel.
Evidence indicates that a different sculpt was originally intended to be redecoed into Nightbeat for this release: In January 2014, Japanese online retailers Red Mercury and eToysJapan (among others) listed preorders for the wave containing Nightbeat, Windblade, and Jhiaxus, making this the first official confirmation of Nightbeat and Jhiaxus. The images used for Nightbeat depicted a retool of 2010 Reveal the Shield Special Ops Jazz with a new head sculpt and spotlight accessories.In addition, the package art for the Nightbeat toy itself, i.e. the cover of the included IDW comic, also depicts him in the 2010 Jazz body, suggesting that the decision to use the Bumblebee sculpt instead was made at a very late point in the development process.
Nightbeat was redecoed into Generations Goshooter, and the mold was separately retooled into Timelines Carzap.
