Nightbird was a very interesting choice for a villain in the 2023 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie. The mute female robot was introduced in the 1985 Transformers episode Enter The Nightbird as a creation of human scientists. She was quickly stolen by the Decepticons and used as a weapon against the Autobots. I was obsessed with this episode as a kid and am so shocked that this single-episode character has had such a legacy. This is actually my tenth action figure of her (mostly third-party homages though). In Rise of the Beasts, she is quite reimagined. She is a Terrorcon under Unicron who transforms into a muscle car and tries to thwart the Autobots and Maximals. I honestly don't remember her talking in the movie, but she is voiced by MJ Rodriguez, so I guess she is no longer mute. I had some issues with the cinematic redesign initially, but it has really grown on me (although the copper-colored details still baffle me). Let's check out the Studio Series Nightbird below!
I always forget to photograph the vehicle mode. Here is a solicit pic from the Pulse website.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Nightbird with her Flex Changers figure from earlier this year.
Cheers!
Did you heard that reaction launched action figures from the movie willow?
ReplyDeleteYes and I have them all, but haven't opened them yet. I only got the classic 80s movie figures, not the new Disney+ show ones.
