A new video has been posted on Youtube.com by the Transformers Collectors Club featuring the "soon" to be released club exclusive, Nightbeat. The video features our first look at the head sculpt of the figure and plenty of shots of the robot and vehicle modes.

To see the video, you can either check out the direct link on Youtube.com or you can log into your account at TransformersClub.com where the video is embedded into the members only section.

Also, with this news, the club has announced in the members only section that we will be seeing the first images of the Botcon 2008 Box Set figures, starting on Monday!

Meh. Dont really care for this one. Its just a energon hotshot repaint.

wow didn't think it would be powerlinx hotshot. i really like the head sculp for this one though.

Really dont you think if this is supposed to be nightbeat his head are missing two things?

It should not be a repaint only, the head is a new mold.

I was hoping for more, but what are you going to do? Not buy it if you don't like it.

He's a vast improvement over this



But I'd like a darker blue with no flames.

Meh...never liked nightbeat very much. Honestly, I'd prefer we get some original figures rather than repaints. But that probably costs a ton.

Doesn't look bad, I agree about the darker blue, and the headsculpt isn't bad. I've never been a Nightbeat fan anyway

It looks like it kept the power linking ability, I wonder if they are planning on releasing Minerva from that mold too. Then at least there would be someone to powerlink with.

The head also doesn't look like it transforms into a tiny headmaster Muzzle.

Still looks good and is amazingly accurate to the original, flames and all.

However, that particular mold is not that great. although I do like Nightbeat, and I can see its very faithful to the original. I'm gonna pass.

I like the head but I never liked the mold at all.

But hey, the paint job reminds me of a car from the old show M.A.S.K.

That would be this one...the Hurricane

I already have Energon Hot Shot, & I'm not to fond of it, so I'm not to fond of this either(though I do like the head sculpt and repaint)

I am digging this repaint, and the headsculpt captures the nightbeat look.

Clear gun is also cool. This one is on my list.

Step in the right direction for Nightbeat fans.

So thats what his robot mode looks like

At least they gave it a new head

I won't be buying, but I must admit, they did a really nice job and couldn't have picked a better mold. It really does fit.

Just saw it and I am impressed! Now I thought I saw it one time on the club site where you could buy the exclusives without being a member, will that apply here? Also, how much will this guy cost? I’m seriously hoping he wont cost as much as Airrazor or Astrotrain.

Me likey. Hope he's not too high cost. And look, you can flip his head basck and do the headless headmaster look! also the powerlink spikes look like oversized version of the pegs used to turn the stat wheels

Me want.

Where's the horns/antennae?

You can order the figures, but non-members will pay more than members. For the difference in price, you might as well join the club and get the free club figure for the year.

Was thinking of joining the club to get my hands on Nightbeat, but since he is only a HotShot repaint, I will continue waiting to join the club.

Nice, I guess.

Never really paid much attention to him since he wasn't in Masterforce. Well, his repaint was but not him.

And since they used E. Hot shot as the toy, they could've easily made this figure a headmaster. Just remold the top of his chest to where a G1 headmaster figure could attach to it.

I like it.

If it is under $50, I just might buy it too.

I didn't like E-Hotshot at all, but I must say, this is pretty awesome. Love the vent details on the rear quarters, and the head sculpt rocks. The mold suits the character well.

For a repaint, they did a dam good job, and a nice new head too.

I thought this was gonna be a reissue like the SeaCons though, so it is disapointing.

But realy, is it just me, or is anyone else sick and tired of that theme music!
