Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

When a group of resisting Maximals and Predacons made it inside Fortress Maximus, Micromaster guards attacked and Buzzclaw was separated from the others in confusion. Seizing the opportunity, Bonecrusher, Broadside, and Tankor emerged from hiding and attacked the Predacon. They were easily dealt with, Bonecrusher in particular being cut through by Buzzclaw's ion disc. Head Games

A redeco of the Land Military Mini-Con Team's Knock Out, Broadside transforms into a six-wheeled APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) with a spring-loaded missile launcher. This launcher becomes a shoulder-mounted artillery piece in robot mode.

This mold was also used to make Cybertron Steamhammer. In Japan, this coloration was used as the "Night Attack" version of Knock Out, not as a new character.

Notes
