It's As If They Know Me

I am pretty sure I would have gotten around to watching Transformers: Prime sooner if someone had explained Knock Out to me. After only a handful of episodes, he's swiftly become one of my favourite Decepticons. Which is certainly a long list, but seldom has anyone gotten on there so fast. (I think the last person was Sky-Byte, and he has the advantage of being a haiku-composing flying shark. And Slipstream, but she embodies a concept I've wanted to see done officially since I was a little fangirl, so I was obligated to love her immediately.)

The combination of 'what if G1 Tracks were a Decepticon medic?' and 'what if Starscream had his own Starscream?' seems specifically designed to appeal to me. Now I just wish they'd made a toy with his in-show paint job! Knock Out would be very displeased that the only versions of him available are inexplicably maroon, covered in dubious stickers, recoloured an ugly green or have a crocodile tail attached.

This thought brought to you by watching Shadowzone, otherwise known as The Hilarious Adventures of Starscreams's Severed Arm.
