Early in the development of flight technology on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], countless ages ago, '''Ransack''' was a pioneer. One of the first flying aces, his ruthlessness was feared by all. These days, though, he's old and outdated.

: Ransack is part of the second wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class figures. He transforms into a German [[:wikipedia:Albatros D.III|Albatros D.III]] biplane. This means he's really awesome. He has a non-firing weapons on each arm and totally metal details around the very large Decepticon sigils on his wings. He can also assume a transitional "battle mode", which deploys his wings and prop in robot mode. The ball joints on his shoulders are especially loose, and the pegs that hold his hands in place in vehicle mode are much stronger. As such, his arms are going to pop off about 90% of the time while converting the figure.

==Notes==
* Ransack's ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' [[Ransack (G2)|counterpart]] also has a propeller-driven airplane [[alternate mode]], though it's a single-wing fighter.

Knock Out (ROTF)

[[Image:ROTF_Scout_Knock_Out_toy.JPG|thumb|300px|Who are you calling young and impetuous?]]

'''Knock Out''' is a bit of a show-off. While quite flashy and skilled on the battlefield, he's also real insecure, and very desperate to receive attention from his comrades. He's also curious about this [[combiner|combination retrofit]] everyone's so crazy about.

==Fiction==
===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Alliance (comic)|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

The hot-headed Knockout was sent to [[Peru]] along with [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Robert Epps]], and [[Petr Andronov]] to investigate a Decepticon signal. As soon as Knockout sighted their enemies, he rushed off, only to come running back as [[Blademaster]] and [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] chased him. After Longarm bitch-slapped him for being such a dick, Knockout actually did a good job of helping in the ensuing fight, even saving the older Autobot's life by holding Ruination back.

Later, when the team was hunting [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Dead End (Movie)|Deadend]] in Rome, Knockout was the one most capable of navigating the tight streets. He once again ran off on his own, but this time, he had good intentions; he got the two Decepticons to crash into each other, damaging them (albeit not severely) and pissing the hell out of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Knockout watched along with the other Autobots when the Decepticon commander challenged [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to a fight, but they soon found themselves dealing with him instead when he tricked and trapped Optimus. But the Autobot leader soon arose, causing Starscream to take flight.

Later, when Epps and [[William Lennox]] were relaxing on the beach on [[Diego Garcia]] when Knockout came to them, saying something was about to happen and wondering what "shanghaied" meant. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

:Knock Out is part of the first wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Scout Class figures. He transforms into a green racing motorcycle . Similar to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|another movie character]], his right hand is morphed in a plasma cannon. His head and colour scheme also bear some similarity to [[Waspinator (BW)|another character]], who coincidentally, would get 'knocked out' (or blown up) for the most part of his time. The vehicle side panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are only held in place by pegs and tend to fall off during conversion.

Transformers The Game

'''''Transformers The Game''''' is a series of computer and video-game console games produced by Activision in conjunction with the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 live-action film]].

The online multiplayer game [[Battle for the Allspark]] is essentially an elaborate ad campaign for ''Transformers The Game''... most versions of which do ''not'' support multiplayer action (bummer.)

==Versions==
===[[Transformers The Game (console)|"Console"]]===
The "main" version of the game is available in the following formats:
* Nintendo Wii
* PlayStation 2
* PlayStation 3
* Xbox 360
* PC DVD-ROM

===[[Transformers The Game (PSP)|PlayStation Portable]]===
This game exists. Apparently there are a lot of playable characters; movieverse characters exclusive to this game who someone really, really needs to document.

===[[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS]]===
There are actually two games for the DS, ''Transformers Autobots'' and ''Transformers Decepticons''. The games have different storylines and environments, but the basic gameplay elements are shared between them. However, the similarities between the two end at altmodes and environments. While Autobots very loosely follows the movie story, Decepticons offers a much more unique twist, focusing on the Decepticons and their attempts at resurrecting Megatron.

====Autobots====

As mentioned, this game revolves around the Autobots and their attempts at preventing the destruction of Earth and the resurrection of Lord Megatron, the former military leader of Cybertron. After the battle of [[Tyger Pax]], [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]] Arrives on Earth, landing in the Las Vegas Casino Strip. After a quick run-down with Ironhide, he teams up with his fellow Autobots to retrieve the AllSpark, searching the quiet (and appropriately named) city of Tranquility, but later heading to the Hoover Dam and even going as far as the Arctic to find the frozen remains of Megatron. All the while, Create-A-Bot must learn what it truly means to be and Autobot.

====Decepticons====

Similar in setting but unique in portrayal is the flip side of the story, ''Decepticons''. Here, a [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|nearly identical robot]] has come to Earth at the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to find the source of a distress signal from a "lost" Decepticon somewhere in the area. However, Starscream keeps many important pieces of information to himself, including the location of the AllSpark and the identity of the Transformer locked in the icy grip of the Arctic. While this Create-A-Bot has to learn that being a Decepticon means loyalty to Megatron, it also becomes apparent that though they fight for different reasons, the Autobots and Decepticons are aiming for the same goal, namely peace on [[Cybertron]], and also that their senses of honor are not that far off.
