Or, the head piece actually moves independently from the gear and just push it back to make it sit correctly.

T'is what I did.

Yeah, honestly I don't see a difference with my unmodded Bumblebee, the hood of the car holds it down on mine with the same clearance your mod shows.

Knock Out still looks like a KO figure to me, both the paint and plastic look cheap. Hot Shot looks like he would fit better in the animated like than the prime line, not a bad looking figure but its still a pass for me.

^^ Yeah, it's fixable without modding.

Now, if you find a way to fix the shoulders, you'll be a savior to the masses...

How is it fixable without modding? Might there be variants?

I guess there could be variants, but on the one I have I can just move the head panel back further before you finish the automorph. The head plate is only friction attached to the pin attached to the gear so you can move it independently of the gears. Peaugh explains it better in his video review.

Hot Shot looks like a robotic Koala to me.

I don't own the mold yet (get Hot Shot out in the UK please!) but it could be that the gears on his neck are like the gears on Megatron's weapon and whilst they do move the piece they're lined up with, there's enough give to rearrange that assembly.

There's got to be something going on because I haven't had the head issue. Mine looks really good and doesn't stick out at all.

After seeing the reviews and such I was a bit hesitant on getting him because of the issue. I transformed mine once and it slid in and down perfectly fine.

Works exactly like Megatron's blades

Precisely, and I apologize for throwing around Peaugh's reviews once again, but he does a demonstration of the quick fix method starting at around 4:00 and briefly explaining the whole thing.

I want to like Knock Out, I really do, but the paint apps just kill it for me.

Hot Shot is the complete reverse. The paint apps on him have me sold.
