| The name or term "Knockout" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Knockout (disambiguation). |
- Knock Out is an Autobot from the movie continuity family (via the Speed Stars line).
If he's not on the battlefield, you can typically find Knock Out out on patrol, where he can keep his mind off of things that upset him. Because a lot of things upset him. A lot. And when he gets upset, he gets violent. He's one angry little bot with a seemingly endless supply of bile, a fact that he's well aware of. He figures that that it's better to be out specifically looking for Decepticons so at least when he goes ballistic, he goes ballistic on them.

[edit]
- Knock Out (Motorcycle, 2011)
- Part of the first wave of the Speed Stars "Stealth Force" Motorcycle assortment, Knock Out is a three-wheeled bike resembling a Can-Am Spyder. As part of the Stealth Force subline, he lacks a robot mode, but pulling on his back wheel reveals a large number of (non-firing) weapons:
- All three headlamps extend to form blasters.
- The front wheels spread further out from the main body, (theoretically) allowing firing room for the gatling cannons revealed on each side.
- A panel behind the windshield pops up, though its purpose is unclear since it's still, well, behind the windshield, (maybe some sort of bulletproof material?).
- A blaster swings up from behind the seat.
- Pushing the wheel back in retracts all of the hidden weapons.
Dark of the Moon
[edit]- Knock Out (Motorcycle, 2011)
- Knock Out was repackaged for the Dark of the Moon toyline, with no changes from the original Speed Stars release.
Notes
[edit]- As with a lot of new characters introduced in the 2010-2011 toy lines, Knock Out's bio info did not tie him in any specific franchise. His reissue in the Dark of the Moon toyline, however, puts him firmly in the live-action film series.
- Knock Out is the right size to work with the Human Alliance "partner" figures, although they're a bit too small to be at the proper scale. Of course, they're also too small compared to the vehicles they're sold with, so....
