- Nightflight is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Nightflight is a scavenger. As a spy, he always goes for the easy score, listening in on unguarded conversations and stealing thoughtlessly-abandoned items; as a warrior, he's always on the lookout for a cheap shot and a safe kill.
