[b]Nightbird[/b] is a sentient female [[ninja]] or [i]kunoichi[/i] giant [[robot]] designed by a [[Japan]]ese [[scientist]] who was inspired by the [[autobot]] designs. In the original cartoon she is silent and never utters a word.

In [[transformers: rise of the beasts|Rise of the Beasts]], her vehicle mode is a [[Nissan skyline r33|R33]] [[Nissan Skyline GT-R]].
