Six pages of existence and still more personality than most 'Cons get in the films

Knucklehead is a Decepticon through-and-through, and believes the same of his best friend Drift. He isn't cruel, though, and won't just sit by and watch as his comrades attempt to murder helpless prisoners.

Fiction

[edit]

Titan movie comics

[edit]
"Ah, the Movie timeline's already a total mess, Knucks, nobody will notice."

Knucklehead was part of a three-man strike team along with Drift and Lockdown attempting to raid an Autobot stronghold in 2006/2007. He incapacitated several Autobot soldiers before helping Drift prevent Lockdown from murdering two prisoners. The bounty hunter proceeded to beat the living daylights out of the poor guy for his trouble. When Drift knocked Lockdown into the fortress' molten moat, the 'con swore revenge against the two.

Some time later (earlier?), Knucklehead was among the Decepticons accompanying Sentinel Prime on the Ark. When he was prevented from heeding Megatron's call to Earth for some reason, Lockdown made good on his promise and skewered the unfortunate bot. Upon finding his old friend's corpse, Drift made him a grave. Adrift in Space and Time

Notes

[edit]
  • Knucklehead's flashback story has some major timeline problems that come from being "Five Years Earlier" than Dark of the Moon. First off, we're not sure when exactly Dark takes place but we're pretty sure it doesn't place in 2014 (the year of the comic's story) and before then Megatron has been either frozen on Earth or dead (the first time!). He's not in charge and everyone would know it! Second, how did Knucklehead then get onto a spaceship that crashed on Earth's moon in 1961 without the aid of time travel? Was he actually from somewhere else and just hanging around?
  • If he made it to Earth, he'd have been present for the Decepticons killing Autobot prisoners like Que. Would he have kicked up a fuss then as well?
  • He was going to take part in the Decepticon invasion of Earth in Dark of the Moon! We should be glad Lockdown killed this evil bastard!
