So, continuing my chain of not being able to leave the rotb designs alone, SCOURGE! I do not like plain black/dark grey characters, so in keeping with his unicronian origin, I pulled galvatron’s purple for him and gave him more of the orange accents some of his toys give him. I like how this one turned out.

Enter the Nightbird: The Movie
We’re another week closer to “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which means we’re looking at yet another toy from that very same movie! This week, we’re going to be taking a look at a character voiced by the first openly trans actress in the franchise, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. We’re also going to be taking a look at a new type of figure for the franchise, which should be interesting. Let’s see how the toymakers did with “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Flex Changers Nightbird” and see if this new type of figure has staying potential!
Tumblr media
So first off, who exactly is Nightbird? The original version of the character appeared in only one episode of “Transformers” in the 80’s, where she was a human-made giant ninja robot built to somehow benefit mankind before the Decepticons stole and reprogrammed her. She didn’t really have a personality, being just an evil robot that fought the Autobots before being captured and put in storage by the end of the episode. It was never explained how mankind would benefit from having a giant ninja robot, but then again, I’m no scientist, so maybe I’m missing something. G1 Nightbird would go on to appear in minor roles in comics, video games, and manga over the years, with a few toys to her name. A new version of Nightbird would appear in “Transformers: Cyberverse” as a ninja mercenary who worked under Soundblaster as part of a scheme to raid Cybertron in one of the two Netflix movies that were released to wrap up “Cyberverse” as a series. The version of Nightbird appearing in “Rise of the Beasts” is a member of the Terrorcons, the villainous faction appearing in this film. Since the movie isn’t out yet at the time of this review, all I can say about her is that she’s an evil ninja who turns into a car.
One fun thing I do want to note, by the way, is that the Nightbird toys made for this movie are the first Nightbird toys to be original molds. Usually, Nightbird’s figures are retools of various female Autobots, usually Arcee. In fact, her character model in “Transformers: Cyberverse” was a recolored Arcee, even though Nightbird never got a toy for that line. So this is really the first original figure of the character.
Now, what exactly are Flex Changers? They’re a new line of figures similar to the One-Step Changers from previous toylines in that they’re smaller than the average figure and transform in about 1-2 steps. The difference is that these figures exclusively use an elastic band that’s integrated into the toy’s body to transform. The band holds the toy together, and transforming the figure comes down to using the band to flip and fold the toy from one form to another. It’s an interesting concept, though one I’m a bit wary of due to the fact that, should anything happen to the band, the entire toy falls apart.

Nightbird’s robot mode looks very sleek, with some odd proportion choices. Her legs are really long, her torso’s squat, and her arms are kinda short. It does get across the fact that this is an alien robot, and the design choices were made due to the gimmick, but it still comes out looking odd. Nightbird’s color scheme is very reminiscent of G1 Nightbird, looking a bit more like that character than her movie form, which suggests that, much like the Cheetor from the same line, Nightbird’s Flex Changer figure is based off an earlier design. I’m honestly fine with this, since the colors look great for an evil ninja. As you can see from the pics, the elastic band, called an “Energon Band,” is clearly visible around Nightbird’s shoulders, neck, and, to a lesser extent, hips. It doesn’t take away from the figure, though, since the pink color of the band goes great with the rest of Nightbird’s colors and you do want the band to stand out a bit since it guides Nightbird’s transformation.
Nightbird’s vehicle mode looks pretty good, with only a few issues. She’s a grey and black sports car, with her color scheme broken up only by the Energon Bands that are visible near the front of the car. My main issue is how, when looked at from the sides, Nightbird has some pretty noticeable gaps due to how she transforms. I know it’s just because of how the gimmick works, but it’s kinda distracting to have some large holes above her rear wheels.
Tumblr media
By the time the Terrorcons had noticed anything was wrong, Nightbird’s stolen parts were already on their way to a chop shop.
Transforming Nightbird is a very, VERY straightforward process. You untab her chest from her lower torso and use the bands to guide all her parts into alignment. While it can be easy at first to not get something lined up well, the bands do a good job making sure you know you did something wrong or right and are very good at directing you. After you do it a few times, it’s a simple process. My concern here, though, is the bands themselves. When my wife and I were each transforming Nightbird, we were worried about stressing the bands or stretching them too much. While there haven’t been reports of the bands breaking as far as I know, I feel like repeated reckless transformations will eventually damage the band. So definitely keep an eye on that so your toy doesn’t break.
Nightbird is a sleek ninja, meant to go toe-to-toe with other acrobatic fighters like Arcee. So therefore, you would want Nightbird to have at least a little articulation for ninja stuff, right? Yeah, this figure doesn’t have that. In fact, this figure has absolutely no articulation at all. Other than transforming her, Nightbird’s entire body does not move. Honestly, it’s kinda a letdown, especially with her price tag. You would hope that her arms move at least, or her head turns, but nope. Zilch. Nada. The pose you see in the box is all there is, which seems to be the case for the other figures in this wave.
“Flex Changers Nightbird” is available at mass retail for about $15-$17 and is aimed at ages 6 and up. I feel like that’s a good age range, but there’s always the chance of your kid being less than thrilled by how little the figure actually does and how it takes a few tries to get used to the bands in her body. Would I recommend this figure? Honestly, no. She’s a static figure who can’t be posed, her transformation revolves around an elastic band that feels like it’s getting stressed if you do something wrong, and she costs a pretty penny. If I’m shelling out $17 for a toy, I expect to at least be able to move the arms a little. It’s especially disappointing since the toyline for “Transformers: Earthspark” has the Flip Changers line that also has zero to little articulation and costs a lot less. It feels like you’re paying a good amount more for the fact this figure’s a little bigger than the Flip Changers and has an elastic band instead of a spring. My advice if you want a Nightbird? Save your money and get the Deluxe Class figure from the main line, sold either on her own or in a three-pack with Cheetor and Wheeljack. This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting.
