Not that he acts anything like Terrorsaur. His personality seems to be Evil-Tracks-with-an-MD, making him probably the most unique character in all of Prime so far.

In fact he's perhaps the only interesting character in Prime.

Please tell me that you somehow missed everything that every other character did, at the very least Soundwave.

Prime is a pretty bad show. Knockout is the only point of interest in it.

That said some of the toys do look good. Terrible a character though Prime Wheeljack is his toy is sweet looking.

Man, I'd hate to know you in real life, no offense though!

None taken. For some reason Prime just rubs me the wrong way. It's the parts I like least about the franchise in one package.

I can't see how anyone could possibly take offense to such a statement.

"Merge to form Suckostator!"

he looks ok, im just happy to see a toy of him! CANT WAIT!!!!!

This doesn't look as good as I had hoped, but if the vehicle mode's good, I'll still get it.

I wouldn't exactly call TFPrime bad, just badly mediocre. Everything about it just seems terribly predictable, unoriginal and completely bland in every way, but at the same time not completely unwatchable. It just seems like something I would watch casually if it happens to be on at the time, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it or even bother timer recording it.

As for Knockout here. Gotta say I was hoping he'd make a cool toy with his design, but alas this just looks incredibly mediocre, much like the series.

You hit the nail on the head.

It has a fair number of interesting robot designs and a few interesting characterizations, but overall it's pretty... generic. I suppose this is a step up from the majority of Transformers storytelling, but Beast Wars still outclasses it by a fair margin.

Knockout is particularly noticeable because he isn't a retread. I hope one of the versions of the toy turns out well.

Lol, just because he doesn't like TF: Prime? That is a really dumb comment. No offense though!



Knockout looks kinda meh, just going by that one picture. I'll need to see more pictures.

No one is expecting anything to ever be Beast Wars quality again. I feel some people are just to jaded anymore.

The first season, as they said, was a trial run. They either weren't allowed, or choose not to get to deep into the fiction, so some character development here and there to introduce the players, some shallow investments into future fiction and that was what season 1 was supposed to be. Maybe that's not what you want from a 26 episode season, but it makes it easy on the watcher if their time investment isn't wasted because Hasbro changes it's mind on Prime.

Except I feel even Animated told a better story than TFPrime, and it was primarily intended for younger audiences than TFPrime.

I'd feel better about that if they hadn't delved into the backstories of the characters. Even the Optimus/Megatron origin story was completely mediocre. Then you have the origin of dark energon being Unicron inside the Earth, which is not so much mediocre as actually being completely dumb. So yeah, all the huge setups that affect the series in the future are not exactly a good sign. Then you have the writers themselves, who's work in the past completely varies from director to director, but when they've worked more on their own in the past it has also been mostly mediocre.

I should make a drinking game out of this.

I'm worried they're going to ruin it with the paintjob, it looks like some sort of dumb electrical flame deco they have there... Plus if they neglect to paint his wheels it'll really kill the look. His sweet rims are part of what makes him so awesome!

he does have that electric pain job its just hard in his alt mode...

the most noticeable time you see that is in T.M.I.
