He's looking nice.

The chest piece is oddly flat, and he seems awfully red, but looking good nonetheless.

Starting today the Transformers facebook page will be revealing a new Transformers Prime figure every day until February 12th. Today's reveal, Deluxe Knockout! Check him out below.

This looks kind of sh*t....

Ah!! Not those hands again. Stress mark.............

It's not horrible, it just could use some custom white stripes :/

Edit: I now see the stripes on the shoulder, but they are flames >_>

I'm still doing some customizing.

that chest makes him look terribly awkward... Mis-transformed?

Could someone please take Hasbro's copy of Photoshop away from them?

It also looks like Knockout's weapon is very similar to Soundwave's Micron:



I wonder what Micron will come with Arms Micron Knockout?

Could use some more white around the torso, also I hate his hands! this guy, Screamer, and Megs, are supposed to have these super long nails! none of which are present with the toys, I'd totally be okay if they were rubber, as long as they're there, I wouldn't mind.

This made me spit out my coffee hahah


I think it looks good, I am also 1000% sure that it is mistransformed.

at least he doesn't have a retarded mechtech weapon!

Preserving judgement 'till proper pics arrive. Go look at the prototype. It doesn't look this hidious, so a properly transformed, in hand figure will probably be alot better than this.

It's not bad. I think the chest sides look like they're supposed to compress somewhat. Either way I'm pleased.

Mis-transformed, awkward angle, horrendous Photoshoppery; basically everything that could make a figure look awful happens in this pic.
Compare to this:

It's not a terrible looking mold, but I'm sure I'll change my tune once we see non-Photoshopped images.

Digging the headsculpt, but yes, something is wrong with that robot mode, whether it's mistransformed or poorly designed. The car mode would be a make-or-break on this one.

Clearly mistransformed, as others have pointed out... But I like it, reminds me of Beast Wars Terrorsaur...

I hope the Arms Micron version has a comparable paintjob to United Tracks or Cliffjumper. It would be kind of ironic and sad to have a Knockout figure with lackluster paint.

Just what I was talking about, see? Not as bad as you guys thought huh? Still, preserving judgement.

It#s still not sexy enough.

I've thought all along that his CG model looks like Terrorsaur as a sports car, so I guess this means the toy's accurate enough.

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.

I hope this is A) Mistransformed a bit, and B) poorly over Photoshopped.

Why did hasbro decided to change directions with TF Prime, the FE's looked fantastic, but these newer figures are looking quite over simplified.

That much is unquestionable.

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.
