Knock Out (Energon)

Knock Out is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

In some universe I'm a repaint of Optimus Prime, I think.

Knock Out is the binary-bonded Mini-Con partner of Ultra Magnus. Don't confuse him with the other Knock Out.

Fiction

Timelines

"Oooooo, I'm a scary ghost head."

After serving with distinction in the Armada War and the Powerlinx Battles, Ultra Magnus and Knock Out were given command of the half-finished Autobot flagship Iron Hope during the Unicron Singularity crisis. Knock Out pitched in with various thoughts while Magnus was busy sending the Eclipse, the Valiant, the Azusa, the Spanner, the DieCast, and the Longbow to search the galaxy for ancient Autobot colony worlds. The Mini-Con was bitter that one of their agents was trapped alone on a colony world, but Magnus assured him that they'd retrieve him.

While en route to the Delta Crateris system, Ultra Magnus received a distress signal from Longrack, commander of the Spanner. Knock Out added nothing to the conversation, and Magnus ultimately maintained the ship's course. The Iron Hope later came under attack, and Ultra Magnus and Knock Out were forced to deny another distress call and join the battle themselves. Force of Habit

• Ultra Magnus (Ultra, 2004)

A redeco of Armada Rollout, Knock Out transforms into an armored personnel carrier capable of towing the larger "armored transport" mode of Ultra Magnus. He also has a hand-held gun mode, plus forms the head and central torso of the combined Ultra Magnus robot mode. Naturally, he was only available with Ultra Magnus.

This mold was retooled to make Universe Ape-Linq.
