Title:
Nightscream
Description:
Nightscream (Ultra, 2000)
Accessories: 5 launching disks
"Nightscream likes extra ketchup."
This massively out of scale Nightscream (although one could make the case that it is in scale with the later supreme-size Optimus Primal and Cheetor) is fairly show-accurate. The beast mode is a technorganic bat. It is molded almost entirely in transparent blue plastic, with some brown paint details to match his show model. The bat head features an articulated jaw, and his Spark crystal is located on the inside of his chest flap.The two main gimmicks of this figure are its disc launcher and "kick-attack” mode. The disc launcher is very similar to the kind Beast Wars Depth Charge uses, and fires translucent orange discs. The launcher itself has a red LED in it that will illuminate the discs and the surrounding body parts. In robot mode, the disc launcher can only be used when the "chest door” is opened and it is swung forward (as it faces down in this mode). In beast mode, the disc launcher needs to be popped up, which activates the LED and clears the weapon to launch the discs. When in this position, turning the disc launcher also makes the bat head turn in the same direction as they are linked together via a simple gear system, much like the concurrently released Ultra Jetstorm.The "kick-attack” mode is really more of a pose for the beast mode. Nightscream’s wings actually have little folding-out "feet” on its longest points. These can support the beast mode and by putting the bat feet a little forward, you can make Nightscream kick forward by pushing on his back. This never really worked too well, as the figure usually fell over and the arm joints that allow him to swing were always too stiff. Perhaps one aspect that was pulled off well was Nightscream’s little streak of hair included in the head sculpt.The translucent blue plastic used for this mold did not age well, and is very brittle. Intact toys are hard to find, not that anyone is actively seeking one.
