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

His big dream is to lead his own special operations group.<ref>Knock Out toy bio</ref>

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

A recent arrival to Earth, the hot-headed Knockout questioned the Autobots' alliance with the humans in [[NEST]] and the Optimus Prime's concern for their safety. He didn't think the loss of a few humans "among their swarming billions" would be missed.

Knockout was sent to [[Peru]] along with [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Robert Epps|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 an idiot, 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|Major 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}}

Knockout's whereabouts during the events of [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]] are unknown.

*'''Knock Out''' (Scout Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-07'''

:Knock Out is part of the first wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Scout Class figures. He transforms into a green racing motorcycle. Similar to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his right hand is morphed in a plasma cannon. His head and colour scheme also bear some similarity to [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]] [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], who coincidentally, would get 'knocked out' (or blown up) most of the time. The vehicle cowling panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are only held in place by pegs and tend to fall off during conversion (luckily, they can also be attached to his back, making him look MORE like Waspinator).

:This mold was also used to make [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]] in the same toyline.

*Despite his toy being a racing bike, [[The Veiled Threat]] describes his altmode as a chopper-style bike.

*In [[The Veiled Threat]], Knock Out has the ability to balance in motorcycle mode while standing still. This is apparently
an uncommon ability since [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] requires kickstands

*In a video posted in the real effing deal.com a white scooter accelerates and KNOCKS OUT his rider then transforms in a robot resembling knock outs robot mode
