Description It's time for me to TFAize a new character, it's time for Nightbird!

So this is my design of Nightbird, clearly original since she's different from G1 Nightbird and that was the only canon version of Nightbird ever made. I think she really coulda been good in TFA since she is a ninja just like Prowl and Jazz, so why the heck not?! Plus, she needs more love, Hasbro still hasn't made a toy of her yet!

Bio:
Nightbird was trained by Master Yoketron alongside Prowl who became her rival. She and Prowl didn't get along too well and would often times fight. She was a little jealous when Prowl got promoted as Yoketron's new guardian of the protoforms, but Yoketron promised her he would teach her as his next main student and that she would learn the processor-over-matter technique. Before her training began with Yoketron, however, she found him to be offline in the temple and all the protoforms stolen. In her anger, she ran away and became a lone, independent ninja bot with nowhere to go. She spent stellar-cycles searching for someone who knew the technique, but no such bot was found, not even Prowl whom she believed had run off in fear or had also been destroyed. After Megatron was captured by the Autobots and brought to the stockade, she had heard that some of them had resided on a planet called Earth where there was more space to roam around in and ancient cultures that practiced the way of the ninja and much more. She took a small entry-ship to the planet and wandered around in the orient observing humans in an ancient Japanese pagoda. One day, a group of Decepticons attacked and she fought them off to defend the people, but the entire pagoda was destroyed. Suddenly out of nowhere came a white bot with two swords, a helmet resembling Master Yoketron's, and who knew the processor over matter technique and he took the cons down single-handedly. This bot revealed himself to be Prowl, although she initially refused to believe this for Prowl was always an "egotistical, self-centered, anti-social" bot, but she soon realized that this really was Prowl, but he had changed much since the last time they met. She traveled back to Detroit with him since her new sanctuary had been destroyed, and stayed with him and the other Autobots in Prowl's dojo and learned how to use P-over-M. Sometimes she assists Prowl on his journeys across the globe in study of the ancient orient cultures.

Personality:
Nightbird is very serious and never fools around. She takes her duty very seriously and never gives up. She's very tomboyish and isn't afraid to fight although she's a female. She usually is a loner and doesn't hang out much around other bots besides her peers and elders like Master Yoketron and later on Prowl. She and Prowl used to be rivals in Yoketron's dojo and didn't get along, but now she looks up to Prowl like a big brother figure and is eager to learn more from him. She enjoys the company of the other Autobots, although she sometimes gets annoyed by the young bots like Bumblebee, the Jet Twins, and the Lambo Twins, especially Sunstreaker who constantly makes advances on her.

Weapons/abilities:
Nightbird also possesses a cloaking device like Prowl and can use the P-over-M technique although she still has yet to master it fully. She is very light and agile even more so than Prowl ever was and she is extremely good with all sorts of weapons. She keeps her Autobot logo hidden in robot mode for sometimes she likes to infiltrate Decepticon headquarters without being seen as an Autobot. Her weapons include two short swords, two sais, and an array of small shurikens. She also has a faceplate that can cover her when in danger. Unlike other TFs, she has no Earth-mode, she transforms into a small Cybertronian racer.


So there's Nightbird! I know some consider her and Megatron to be somewhat of a couple, but I haven't found out how I'd incorporate that into her story quite yet. Maybe someday I'll try it out... Well, I hope you guys like it! Feel free to use my design for Nightbird as long as you credit me and link me the pic you made.

only amused in putting a Nightbird (just mentioned) as Yooketron's assistant (and Master after him) in her FF "Origins"

Ok, ok calm the slag down! I will find a way to make her fall in love with him, but I can't see her being a Decepticon permanently. Did G1 Nightbird become a Con permanently? What even happened to her?

What, you don't like it?

Flikkun In reply to AleximusPrime [2010-08-04 04:32:08 +0000 UTC]

GOOD. Well...Megatron kidnapped her..well, actually, she wasn't really online at that point, so..I dunno XD But anyway, he got Bombshell to program her into being a Decepticon...and then for a while she was working with them, but then she got shut down, and it was implied that she wasn't offline for good, but she never came back

I just think it looks better with gray XD

i think she has to be one of the coolest female transformers EVER!!!! darn hasbro for not making her a toy.
and if ur looking for ideas to help with the Nightbird + megatron thing maybe she could be an under cover spy-bot and gets close to Megs to extract information from him

Definitely! Well, impossibletoys.com made one but it was only an exclusive and wasn't that great.

You mean undercover for the Autobots but she gets too close to Megs?

For a character that seems to want to slice your head off on sight, I'm happy to see a more "cuter" version of her. So good job.

Why thanks! I'm still kinda trying to figure out if I should make reference to her going bad like she did in G1. I still gotta see that episode though...

WerewolfThorn [2010-08-03 22:22:04 +0000 UTC]

It's the G1 Nightbird but in a new style!

I kind of prefer her evil... But it's your story. I always thought a stealth attack helicopter would suit her style and name well. That would mean she is big but I think we need more big femmes.
