Timeline Pull Point: Post movie, after the autobots win and fuckin Optimus saves Cybertron and Knock Out's all YEP I'M TOTALLY AN AUTOBOT NOW

Canon History:

oh shit a wiki link y'know if you want the boring, good vocabulary version.

Transformers Prime is mostly set on Earth, where the Decepticons are up to their no good Decepticon hijinks and the Autobots are all "Ohh no the poor humans we can't let that happen because we're the good guys". Prior to Knock Out's arrival in the series, Megatron, the ugly shark toothed leader of the Decepticons had gone and did a dumb and gotten himself pretty much completely fucked up by a space bridge, and his second in command Starscream was all "I STARSCREAM NOW LEAD THE DECEPTICONS" because that's just how Decepticons work. Also they have a giant sweetass space ship called the NEMESIS because that is an awesome name.

Knock Out rolled in after Megatron went and got himself nearly super killed. When he wasn't doctoring Megatron, he was off with his partner Breakdown, usually on missions to recover ancient Cybertronian relics on Earth. The first one they went after was called an Energon Harvester, but they got their asses beat by Optimus Prime and Bulkhead and totally failed at recovering it. In fact , it was totally destroyed and everyone lost. Hunting for relics became a recurring theme, but when Knock Out wasn't busy doing Decepticon bullshit, he would sneak off and challenge INFERIOR (yet very pretty) HUMAN EARTH CARS to street races despite Starscream being all "don't leave the ship and do stupid bullshit" at him. But fuck Starscream, Knock Out does what he wants. Unfortunately doing what he wants ended up with him getting his door ripped off by Optimus Prime and his paint ruined by Starscream later on for disobeying orders, so hey.

After being a total douchecock Starscream rolled in at him and is all 'Hey man wanna be my second in command all you gotta do is help me kill Megatron for reaslises" and Knock Out was all "Sure whatever I love making horrible life decisions". The two of them tried to convince Megatron's biggest brown noser Soundwave that POOOOR MEGATRON will never recover from his injuries. Unfortunately for them Soundwave wasn't a complete fucking MORON like every other Decepticon and didn't buy their bullshit. And then OH HEY Megatron got better anyway due to some weird bullshit. Oh gee that's too bad for Starscream, Megatron totally whooped his ass and Knock Out got off scot free and settled into his role as the ship's medic. Sometimes he would pop out on missions with Breakdown to gather more relics and stuff though. Exciting.

Meanwhile the Autobot's medic Ratchet totally invented this green goop called synthetic energon, which is like regular energon only it turns your grandpa into a stud. And by that I mean it wasn't stable and it would have been a really bad idea to test it on a live subject, right? Proving that the Autobots are just as goddamn stupid as the Decpeticons, Ratchet totally injected that shit into himself and spent an episode being Duke Nukem. A bunch of stupid bullshit happened that resulted in Knock Out getting a hold of a sample of Ratchet's synthetic energon. Because a mad scientist having access to that kind of thing is totally awesome.Later on Optimus Prime lost his memory for a while and Megatron drug his ass back to the Nemisis. Knock Out gave him a sweet Decepticon tattoo but then Prime got his memory back and ollied out.

Knock Out and Breakdown do a little more relic hunting, wooo. Then the Nemesis crashes because Bulkhead the jolly Autobot got on board somehow and wrecked shit. Megatron decides that fueling the fucking thing with Dark Energon would be a fucking great idea. Dark energon is like regular energon only it reanimates corpses and turns Megatron into a dumbshit. Against Knock Out's advice, Megatron totally pumps that shit into the ship. The ship becomes sentient and that's no good. It got fixed though, but then Megatron got all pissed at Knock Out because the Autobots made off with some relic data and decided it was Knock Out's fault.

At one point Knock Out's partner Breakdown totally got mega killed by this spidery helicopter chick cleverly named Airachnid. It's never really expanded upon if Knock Out knows for sure who killed him, but seeing how Breakdown and this other giant dude named Dreadwing were specifically tasked with killing Airachnid, it's probably safe to assume Knock out could have figured it out for himself. ANYWAY. Breakdown's dead robocarcas was stolen by a militant human group called MECH, and they ended up slapping their near dead leader human named Silas into it. He thought he was clever so he changed his name to CYLAS, which is pronounced the same way but NOW it stood for "CYbernetic Life Augmented by Symbiosis", but who the fuck cares this guy was LITERALLY parading around in someone else's dead body. Creepy. It's so creepy that even Knock Out was creeped out by it. But mostly he was pissed because this filthy human worm was wearing his dead partner. Cylas decided he wanted to join the Decpeticons, but totally fucked up his chances and Megatron let Knock Out keep Cylas to run crazy experiments on. Knock Out was totally pumped.

MEANWHILE the Autobots and Decepticons were still hunting these relics, and after a whole bunch of bullshit (but mostly Starscream), the Decepticons ended up with four of them called the Omega Keys, which Knock Out and Starscream only figured out how to work by trying to slap each other with them like adults. THE OMEGA KEYS, RIGHT? They were supposed to unlock something on Cybertron called the Omega Lock, and the Decepticons getting access to that would have been a big uh oh. So Optimus Prime totally destroyed it. And then the Decepticons totally found the Autobot's secret base IN NEVADA and blew it up, leaving Prime near death after he helped the rest of the autobots escape. Aw gee too bad.

It's okay he got better.

Later on, Knock Out was sent back to Cybertron to look for more relics and shit, but he ended up finding an even MADDER MAD SCIENTIST. AKA Shockwave, the hugeass purple cyclops motherfucker that is so logical he'd make Spock's head explode. They changed up their quest for relics into a quest for robot dinosaur AKA Predacon bones because Shockwave totally knew how to clone robodinosaurs because he is the maddest scientist and seriously it doesn't get any cooler than ROBOT. DINOSAURS. Knock Out took Shockwave and his big badass cloned Predacon back to NEVADA.

Okay they were more like dragons but still. Knock Out totally found a dead robot dinosaur dragon thing fossil later and brought that shit back to the Nemesis.

MEANWHILE AGAIN, it was revealed that Knock Out still totally had Cylas in his lab so he could run sickass experiments on him, mostly experiments involving synthetic energon. Starscream made the brilliant suggestion to mix a little dark energon in with the synthetic energon, because tampering with dark energon ALWAYS ended well, right? Well they totally did it anyway and pumped that shit into Cylas, and rather than the super soldier effect Knock Out had originally been going for, they turned Cylas into a fucking robot ZOMBIE that went on a rampage through the ship turning all the other Decepticons it came across into energon hungry undead abominations. Megatron got shit under control because he is huge and terrifying and ordered Knock Out to turn all of his dumbass experiments over to Shockwave. He was more or less demoted to "Just the medic" and "occasionally Shockwave's assistant so you don't fuck up anymore". Knock Out was not pleased, but who the hell is going to argue with Megatron.

Since Knock Out was now the errand boy for Shockwave, he'd gotten stuck with lugging crates of synthetic energon down to Shockwave's new and fancy underground lab where he was making more predacon clones. And then it's revealed that his original clone had a robot mode and is capable of BEING SMART and oh his name is Predaking because that's clever. Megatron decides that this is a problem and sets up a plan for the Autobots to destroy Shockwave's other clones because he doesn't want Predaking having an army of these fuckers and potentially turn on the Decepticons. And the plan works yay. Predaking was pissed and thought it was all the Autobots.

The Decepticons managed to capture Ratchet because Megatron wanted Ratchet's brain's help with the whole Synthetic Energon thing or something. So Ratchet was working with Shockwave and Knock Out was still being errand boy and pissed about it, but Ratchet was kind of polite to him so that was nice. Knock Out accidentally let it slip that the Decepticons had deliberately set up the whole Autobots murdering the Predacon clones thing, and Ratchet ended up wiggling out later and telling Predaking about it.

All Hell broke loose when the Autobots stormed the Nemesis trying to get back to Cybertron. Knock Out missed the entire fight, deciding to cut his losses and bail out. He spent the whole time looking for his rotary buffer and avoiding everyone, he even missed out on Bumblebee killing Megatron. Oh well. He casually rolled in after the good guys had won, claiming he wanted to join the winning team. He was knocked out (hurr) by a little girl wearing bigass robot armor and locked up with the rest of the captured Decepticons.

AND THEN THERE WAS THE MOVIE where Knock Out spent half the time trying to gain the autobot's trust by giving them information from his cell, and then escaping with Starscream's help only to knock his ass unconscious because HEY turns out Knock Out was serious about switching sides. He mostly stood around panicking while all hell broke loose some more (Oh yeah Unicron was leading an army of ZOMBIE ROBOTS to murder the shit out of everything that was happening) and stood with the Autobots when they actually confronted Unicron (Who had moved into Megatron's body because he does what he wants). And then Optimus prime popped in and saved the day and then sacrificed himself to save Cybertron. Everyone was sad. Knock Out looked sad too. So sad.

THE END.

guess who NERDS: a radical 2 part app PART 2

[personal profile] automobileenthusiast 2015-04-14 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Personality
Compared to other Decpticons, like Megatron and Starscream who just want to watch the world burn, Knock Out seems significantly laid back and indifferent to anything. Sure, he likes running weird experiments and mocking his victims before buzz-sawing them in half, but he's also perfectly content with goofing around and being a sarcastic douchebag. He slacks off in his own ways, like leaving the Nemesis to go racing or fussing over his appearance. And damn does he ever fuss over his appearance. When people damage his paint job, he reacts violently, and then bitches about it endlessly until he'd finally get himself patched up. Yeah, he's one of those guys. All about looking out for number one.

Knock Out is known better for his brains (usually) and beauty than his prowess on the battlefield. That doesn't mean he can't hold his own if the situation calls for it. Even if he is a half way decent and persistent fighter, he's still only like half the size of the other Decepticons. Before Breakdown was killed, he'd had his big burly bodyguard and life was good, but after losing him, Knock Out was pretty much useless for big missions. At least as far as Megatron was concerned. To make up for Knock Out's tiny wimpy partnerlessness, Megatron sent a giant, horrible insecticon bug robot to act as Knock Out's new bodyguard once. Knock Out was not amused and his poor self esteem took a nutshot. Baww.

He may be brilliant in his own way, but Knock Out has a bad habit of running his mouth and occasionally speaks without thinking, like when he accidentally spilled the beans about the Predacon clones in front of Ratchet, or accidentally caused a zombie invasion. Pretty much the only reason Megatron tolerates his shenanigans is because he's the only medic, and when he actually does take his work seriously, he usually produces good results. Usually. When there's no zombies.

While on Earth, Knock Out seemed to develop a fondness for human culture. Not so much humans themselves, but he often voiced his admiration for human automobiles and engineering, and even confessed to sneaking out to watch human cinema at drive in theaters. Given his position and the fact that he had Cylas around to poke at for a while, it's likely that he at least has a basic understanding of human anatomy. At the very least he knows how they reproduce, and seemed to be pretty grossed out by the concept of human "interfacing". He wasn't as fond of humans as say, the Autobots, but he wasn't as likely as other Decepticons to go smashing them if it wasn't necessary. The only human he actively wanted to hurt was Cylas, and that was because he was kind of living off of his partner's dead body.

Speaking of said partner, Breakdown was quite possibly the only person Knock Out placed any real degree of trust in, except for maybe Starscream on occasion (not that that ever actually ended well). Knock Out won't hesitate to be totally casual and chat anybody up, generally treating them all the same, but Breakdown was the only one he was comfortable going on missions with. He even acted as the doctor's assistant in the medibay and buffed his finish for him if it became damaged. Losing Breakdown marked a bit of a turning point in Knock out's development, even if his actions weren't always noticeably different from when he was still around. when Knock Out ran into Cylas thinking he was Breakdown, he was overjoyed to see his partner again, but once Cylas reviled his true identity, he was visibly disturbed. Knock Out ended up taking Cylas back to the Nemesis to see Megatron, and he wasted no time in asking the warlord to let him get back at the human who had butchered his partner. When Knock out finally got his wish he made it no secret how thrilled he was to get back at Cylas, and then kept him alive for a while to torture him with his sick experiments. When Starscream asked him if experimenting on the body of his dead partner bothered him, Knock Out's reply was "not really", and he explained that Breakdown would have appreciated the irony of the situation. So, he was weirdly loyal to his partner in kind of a creepy, mad scientist way.

Knock Out has his own insecurities, not that he ever deliberately lets them show. While he knows he's clearly fabulous and amazing looking, he craves recognition from his superiors, even from Starscream back when Megatron was all comatose. It probably has something to do with the fact that fucking up resulted in harsh punishments. That, and the Decepticons in general weren't generally known for being nice to each other unless it was for their own personal gain, with the exception of Knock Out and Breakdown's relationship where they were legit buddies. Knock Out is so accustomed to everyone treating each other like shit within the Decepticon ranks that he's genuinely surprised when Ratchet is actually polite to him and thanks him for something (Y'know that one time he was all captured). One of his reasons for leaving the Decepticons in the first place was the fact that he found Starscream "rude".

Knock Out may have been an asshole a lot of the time, but there were a few occasions where he was shown to have at least some semblance of sympathy or caring. His situation with Breakdown being the big one, the other one happening at the end of the movie when Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to save Cybertron. Though Knock Out had only been an Autobot for like, a day, Prime included him among the Autobot's ranks in his final "brb pulling a Jesus Christ" speech, and Knock out seemed genuinely upset to see him go.

Powers/Abilities:
Knock Out has training as a cybertronian medic, and apparently he's pretty damn good seeing as he served Megatron directly. He does, however, prefer taking bots apart over putting them back together. He's also something of a mad scientist, though some of his experiments yielded questionable results. He likely has a basic understanding of human anatomy as well, seeing as he worked on Earth for so long and spent some time studying the little buggers. Kind of. If running weird experiments on one counts as "experience".

While he prefers to avoid a fight for the sake of his paint job, Knock Out is a fairly skilled combatant. His weapon of choice is an energon prod, which is basically just a stick that zaps the fuck out of people, and hands transform into buzz-saws and drills and shit.

Being Cybertronian, Knock Out has a vehicle alt-mode. He transforms into a fancy ass car.

Inventory:
nothing he is not cool enough to have neat shit

Writing Samples both totally recycled look at me GO

First Person Sample:
[What up NERDS, there's a very shiny, very red, and very annoyed looking robot looking at the camera-- actually no, he's looking at his fingers like a chick that just smudged her fresh nail polish. The annoyed part though, that's accurate. After a few seconds of grumbling to himself, he finally turns his attention to the camera.]

You know, I really wouldn't mind a little more information about this place, or why I'm even here when I should be on Cybertron, but I've suddenly found myself in desperate need of a rotary buffer and a few gallons of high grade. If anyone would be so kind as to point me in the general direction of either of these things, you would have my eternal gratitude.

Well, maybe not eternal, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Third Person Sample:

Considering Knock Out was stuck in some weirdo dimension or something and unable to contact Cybertron or... anyone, really, one would think he'd be a little more concerned about his current predicament. Not that he wasn't concerned, but he was still a little caught up on the events leading up to waking up in bizarro creepy fucked up world. The whole war being over thing, helping save Cybertron from Unicron and his army of undead zombie things, kind of a big deal. Oh, and cracking Starscream across the face, that had been pretty funny. Very satisfying. Maybe not quite as big a deal as saving a planet, but Knock Out was pretty damn happy with himself over it.

Ditching the Decepticons for the Autobots had really only been out of convenience, the whole looking out for number one angle. Now that he had time to sit and think about it, though, he couldn't help but wonder why he'd never considered switching sides sooner. Just during his short time working with them, the Autobots treated him a hundred times better than the Decepticons ever had. Not that anyone really had a chance to be outright douchebags to him yet considering everything else that had been going on, but even Optimus Prime himself had treated him with respect. It was no wonder the Autobots always seemed to be in high spirits, it must have been nice having a leader who didn't treat his subordinates like scrap. Shame he had to sacrifice himself in quite literally the most dramatic way possible.

Ah well, Knock Out wasn't the sentimental sort. In fact, he was a little annoyed with himself for still being caught up on any of that at all. At the very least it was better than panicking, which was something he was practically on the verge of. At least internally. Thankfully he'd found something to sort of distract himself with. He has this old datapad, which could apparently function as some sort of communication device. Caught up in his weird thoughts or not, he'd still needed something to do with his hands, so he'd been tinkering with the thing for a while. All things considered, he should probably start focusing on the here and now anyway, and figuring out how to get in touch with the natives so he could relentlessly drill them for information was a good starting point.

Well, he'd drill them for information about this place after he'd had a chance to buff a few dings out of his plating. He didn't even remember getting these! Granted he'd been a little preoccupied with slightly more important things, but still. Okay, information later, right now his priority was getting his hands on a rotary buffer before he went out of his mind.

A+ priorities.
