- Knockout is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The other members of the Constructor Squad keep an eye on Knockout. Not because they think he's a treacherous backstabber: he's as loyal as the rest of the squad. It's not because his enthusiasm gets him in over his head: his teammates actually find his enthusiasm motivating. And it's certainly not because he's a lazy slacker: he works as hard as any of them.
It's because he faints when he gets too excited.
So his teammates watch him, because the last thing you need in combat is an unconscious backhoe.[1]
