Age of Extinction Nightbeat: The Fallen's in the Details

Really fun repaint/slight retool of AoE Crosshairs, it's Movieverse Nightbeat, the Mystery Lover.

Background/Flavor Text

Since his construction day, Nightbeat has had a strong curiosity and a fascination with the unknown. He loves answering seemingly unanswerable riddles, from where someone hid his fuel cells to ancient mysteries of Cybertron's origins. The final resting place of the Ark I. The origins of the Creators. The significance of a relic with five faces. To this end, he found work in a variety of investigative fields before the war, from scholarly research to police beat duty where he earned his nickname. Eventually, he signed up with an Altihex deep-space research ship, just to get a chance to see more worlds and discover more mysteries.

However, when he returned home many mega-cycles later, he found a changed Cybertron ravaged by civil war and near desolate. Lost and confused, he was able to pick up a distress beacon from a new leader named Optimus Prime, calling all surviving Cybertronians to a planet called "Earth". Unfortunately, upon reaching this new world, he was greeted with hostility by the small organic lifeforms, as well as an unknown Cybertronian hunter. Now, Nightbeat puts his investigative talents to work on new mysteries: where are the Autobots, who is this new threat, and who does he work for?

I love it! Excellent choice of mold/character. It harkens to that issue of the 1980s Marvel comic issue where he actually did wear a trench coat! And the vehicle mode paint apps are stellar.

Thanks! That issue actually was my main influence for choosing this mold. Good eye!
