A self-declared detective, loves mystery, suspense, and conspiracy. When Nightbeat is on the trail for clues, nothing else matters. Deny him information, and he'll doggedly pursue every possible lead until he's obtained it. This monomania has famously gotten him into trouble over his head more times than he can count, yet in the face of adversity, he remains cool, confident, and even irreverent.

The Autobots have this, you know, psy-ops specialist. Does anyone remember his name? As part of his duties, he performs the mental assessments of potential Wreckers-to-be. He's very important. He's got... these huge eyebrows. You gotta know who this is describing, right? Collects and builds model spacecraft? Seriously. What's his name? Oh, right! Rung! Thanks. Some seven million years ago, the bot that had once been "Primus" re-emerged as Rung, though his memories seem to be gone.
