- Knock Out is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
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 combination retrofit everyone's so crazy about.
His big dream is to lead his own special operations group.[1]
Fiction
The Veiled Threat prequel novel
A recent arrival to Earth, the hot-headed Knockout questioned the Autobots' alliance with the humans in NEST and 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, 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 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 and 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. Knockout watched along with the other Autobots when the Decepticon commander challenged 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, Epps and 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. The Veiled Threat

Knock Out was one of the Autobots sent to Florida to investigate the convergence to five unknown spark traces. However, as the team closed in on their target, they came under attack by Soundwave and were forced to fight back. The Decepticon soon withdrew, but his attack had distracted Knock Out and the others from the investigation, and the spark traces were already gone. Nefarious issue 1
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Knock Out (Scout Class, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RA-07
- Knock Out is part of the first wave of Revenge of the Fallen Scout Class figures. He transforms into a green racing motorcycle. Similar to Bumblebee, his right hand is morphed in a plasma cannon. His head and colour scheme also bear some similarity to Beast Wars 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 and Trenchmouth in the same toyline and Backfire in the 2010 Transformers line.
Notes
A: Because they're two tired.
- 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 requires kickstands.
