- Smackdown is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
A member of the Red Mini-Con Team, Smackdown is a champion of his people. In spite of his small stature, he'll never back down, never show weakness, and can back up his trash talk with truly impressive displays of strength and fighting prowess. He'd really rather kick back with his buds and play video games—but in a war this huge, sometimes you need a guy to play a hero that's even bigger.[1]
When Powerlinxed to a larger Transformer, Smackdown provides a melee combat boost similar but superior to the kind given by Pressurepoint, increasing the amount of damage the host's punches and kicks do to their target.
