    Beast mode is a flying squirrel. This mode is very nicely detailed when viewed from above, with such things as holes in the wings, and a nice mix of fur and metal. However, the main problems with this mode is that there are almost no moveable parts. It would be nice if the wings could flap, or something to that extent. Another major problem with this mode is the undercarriage robot parts on his underside, which makes the main body of the toy somewhat bulky, and if viewed from any angle but above, odd-looking.
    Robot mode is very much like the Optimus Primal (Bat) design, with the main body in front, and large wings on the back, sticking out both sides. These wings make it hard for the toy to stand up, however, although they do add to the fierceness of this toy. He has a small sword for a weapon, with a medieval-style design. His spark crystal is right in the center of his chest, you can't miss it.
    Overall, a nice toy in robot mode, although beast mode has a lot of extras.

(NOTE: When transforming Nightglider, ALWAYS move the head through the neck slot BACKWARDS! It will not fit if this is not done!)
