Nightwatch's Bio
His gift is also his curse. Fresh from the academy, Nightwatch was sent to the Decepticon medic Flatline to have his special skill installed. The skill, his ability to use the blackout gun, a weapon that disables all optical, thermal, and ultra-violet sensors, damaged his optics to the point that they could not be repaired. Because of the damage he could no longer operate well in highly lighted situations. His quarters are often dimmed to the point where only shadows can be seen.
At first this proved to be a major handicap for Nightwatch one that he had to fight hard to overcome, many Decepticon soldiers would have became part of the shamed class of Decepticons, a group of bots deemed unworthy to function in their war like society.
Nightwatch however refused to have this insult pushed upon him. Having graduated from the academy with high honors the Decepticon leadership gave him a slim opportunity to prove himself still worthy of calling himself a true Decepticon.
At first Nightwatch joined the Death's Hand squadron. An elite group of seeker jets led by Starscream himself. His stay with them lasted only one mission. After seeing how feeble he was in daylight combat Starscream kicked him out of the elite group. His failure should have been accompanied by his death, but Megatrons own son saw something of value in him and decided to give him a second chance. He asked Nightwatch to see past his disability and become the Decepticon that he believed that he could be.
Nightwatch already knew that it was hopeless for him to fight in any form of light; he decided that the obvious answer was to fight under the cloak of darkness. Rarely did Decepticons fight in this manner because of how it limited them; Nightwatch however did not suffer from these limitations.
The irreparable injury magnified available light a million times over, making it so that he could see perfectly even in the darkest of nights, but was a blind invalid if someone even turned on a flashlight. Quickly he decided that it would be foolish to rely too much on his enhance vision and thru working without optics for more then five years strengthened his scanners to the point that he wasn't crippled when he lost his sight.
Decatron, pleased with Nightwatch's accomplishments gave him command of his own squadron, Dark Sabre. They would specialize in Night time operations.
The continued success of this group was yet another slap in the face to Megatron. Soon Decatron would prove to him beyond a doubt that the old ways were inferior. This would soon lead to Decatron's destruction...but that is a story for another time.
Autobots soon learned to look to the skies in fear, always thinking that they heard the quiet hum of the Dark Sabre Squadron's engines.
Strengths--The ability to see as if it were mid-day even in the darkest of night. His blackout gun can disable most forms of vision for short periods of time.
Weaknesses--While he can work in the daylight he greatly prefers to operate when he has a major advantage over his prey, optic sensors are next to useless in even low lighted areas. Can be to overconfident in his abilities at night
