Arcee's goth phase

After they froze Cybertron in time, Nightbird landed with the rest of Trypticon's crew to loot and destroy the planet. As she exited the Mercenary ship, Doublecrosser nearly ran her over with the hovering vehicle they were driving, and had to swerve to avoid her, and she roughed them up for their incompetence. The crew was attacked by Grimlock and the other Dinobots, who were forced to retreat when Soundblaster turned the Time Blaster on them. They arrived at the signing of the peace treaty and began to pick the place clean, and Nightbird stole Windblade's Stormfall Sword. When Soundblaster carried out his revenge on Soundwave, Nightbird explained to the others what Soundwave had done to warrant such hatred. When Volcanicus attacked, the Mercenaries surrounded the combiner, attacking from all sides. When Laserbeak stole the Time Blaster, Soundblaster ordered an all-out attack. The Mercenaries armed themselves, only to be incapacitated by a volley of missiles from Volcanicus, who imprisoned them inside the trailer they had collected their loot in. When Soundblaster called for Trypticon’s help, he fired his entire crew. During Trypticon’s battle with Volcanicus, a stray tail swipe destroyed their confinement, and the Mercenaries fled Cybertron in their ship, happy to be free of Trypticon’s employ. The Immobilizers

Notes

• Like most of the other Cyberverse Mercenaries, Nightbird's model is a recolour of an existing character. In her case, that's Arcee. Nightbird is the only one of them to have additional detail added to the model, being given a mask that covers her mouth.
