Nightbird (ship)

The Nightbird is an Autobot cargo vessel. As such, it's not the fastest vessel around.

IDW Generation 1 continuity
The Nightbird was manned by the Technobots and en route to the Benzuli Expanse to deliver Pretender shells to the crew of the Mirror-Manifold.

A short time later, the Mirror-Manifold was destroyed by Cyclonus. Its crew was beamed over to the Nightbird only just in time, where they were finally given their Pretender shells.
