'''Knock Out''' is a smooth, arrogant Decepticon "medic" with a nasty, narcissistic streak. He considers himself adept at breaking things and fixing them, but professes more skill with the breaking. For complicated jobs, like rehabilitating [[Megatron (Prime)|half-dead Decepticon commanders]], he requires the aid of his burly assistant, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]. On the battlefield, he prefers to wine and dine his prey first, before striking cruelly with his [[Energon prod]], which can disable even some of the biggest Transformers around.

Knock Off isn't all sadism. He has a true [[Side Burn (RID)|aesthete's]] love of fine automobiles, particularly [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|large trucks]]. They remind him of his [[Breakdown (Prime)|partner]].

[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] called Knock Out and Breakdown to the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'' to help fix [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. As they were on an [[energon (fuel)|energon]] trail at the time, only Knock Out initially turned up at the ship, and he was shocked at Megatron's condition. When Breakdown did join them, it was with news that he'd discovered an [[Energon Harvester]] was on [[Earth]]. As the [[Autobot]]s had already surrounded the museum the device was in, Knock Out and Breakdown organised a diversion at the front of the building. During the fight, Knock Out attacked [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] with his prod, but was flattened by [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] after the Autobot was punched by Breakdown. The two Decepticons sped off into the city after they saw that [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] had captured the Harvester. Knock Out subsequently accompanied Starscream and Breakdown to an [[energon (fuel)|energon]] seam in [[Greece]]. He and Breakdown got the opportunity to fight Bulkhead again, but came off decidedly second-best, and they both fled after the Harvester was destroyed and the other Autobots turned up. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

==Notes==
*Knock Out's license plate in "[[Deus ex Machina]]" is JOFY 892.
*He and Breakdown are so far the only Decepticon's to survive their debut. But Skyquake could return later... somehow?
