Part of the third wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, Knock Out transforms from a sports car resembling an Aston Martin One-77 into a robot and back! He comes with a 5mm-compatible spear that can split at the center to form two wield-able "battle spikes”, and the spear can be stored on two 5mm ports on his his back in robot mode, or mount onto the peg-holes on his rear vehicle sides.His stock photography depicts several paint operations that were omitted in the final product. Also, in an inverse of nearly every set of Transformers instructions out there, Knock Out’s stock photo is correctly transformed, while the robot mode depicted in the instructions proper is rather hideously mis-transformed, with his shoulder fenders oddly folded down to form an extra large chest and his arms left unfolded, yielding strangely long arms with two elbows.In wave six of the Prime toyline, Knock Out was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the Prime episode "Loose Cannons”.The TakaraTomy version, dubbed "Medic Knock Out” and released in the third wave of the Japanese Prime line, loses most of the Hasbro version’s paint operations in favor of customer-applied foil stickers... which make his car mode "fade” deco especially tragic. He also has several new Arms Micron 5mm ports epoxied to him; a hood/chest-mounted engine and one on each door/arm. Lacking the Hasbro version’s two-part spear, he instead comes with Gura, a robotic fiddler crab who becomes his spear/prod weapon.The TakaraTomy version of the mold was also used to make Smokescreen.
