    Enter the Nightbird | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E06 | Hasbro Pulse
    The Autobots have been busy marking crucial energy locations for easy use and protection purposes. Naturally, this is something that the Decepticons desperately want. This is a solo mission, and they need someone that gets in and out quickly. Meanwhile, word spreads about the new, powerful Nightbird being developed giving Megatron an idea. Under Decepticon control, Nightbird embarks on her mission into the Autobot base. Can the Autobots thwart the Decepticon plot and overcome Nightbird's martial arts techniques?

    Nightbird would have been perfect in transformers age of extinction as a ksi drone with ksi being a company that builds man made robots. Nightbird in this episode is a man made robot. Hell that japanese woman in age of extinction could have been perfect as Dr fuchiyama's daughter.

    Oh my god! Nightbird is so amazing and badass ninja robot!
    And hope she reappeared in Rise of the Beast movie(2023) with G1 style personally like this.

    Fujiyama is all like "shouganai" when Prime apologizes for letting the Decepticons slip through his butter fingers with Nightbird. That's even more Japanese than the bowing.
    I've always liked how Wheeljack, the Autobots' top inventor, has a woikin' class Brooklyn accent.
