    I guess this decides it. I'm going to get onboard with the Prime toyline. I hesitated with Animated and it turned out to be a mixed back of regret/frustration. I won't make that mistake with this line I think (hopefully)

    Yeah, I see where he does look "better", just not exactly good though.

    That is awesome. Really show accurate and it's cool that you can sort of give him his drill that got two seconds of fame.

    Do you realize how tall Deluxe Starscream is? And watch Peaugh's review. This guy's actually taller than Cliffjumper and Bumblebee.

    ... I probably should have pointed that out. Though if I did have the Voyager, you'd have seen a few quick rough pics at worst by now ;)

    Thanks for the review Sol. Knockout still seems a little underwhelming to me. I want this guy in hand so I can appreciate him more :thumb

    ugh..i really dislike how this guy looks. The paint is terribly inaccurate. Having the wheels up where it looks accurate makes his chest look really inaccurate. But movie his chest to look a little more accurate, makes his wheels in an inaccurate place. And his torso just really looks blah to me...wayyy too squared off and should be more of a "V" shape. Not to mention that his torso looks way too long..at least the red part. It should be like 1/4 short with the bottom quarter being mechanical bits :(

    Hasbro's new trend of Scout-sized Deluxe figures makes me sad. :(

    Is he really taller than Cliffjumper? Is he really? Great... that means he's not AS TINY AS CLIFFJUMPER. :) 

    But seriously, maybe it's not that bad, but there's no denying the decline of the Deluxe figure. Bumblebee is merely dainty. Soundwave is like a little origami crane. Wheeljack is pretty damn short. Cliffjumper is pathetic. I don't have high hopes for Knockout here.

    Just for fun, I'd like to see a picture of him standing next to Generations Windcharger. :)

    Peaugh's review shows that comparison. They're the same size in car mode, but Knockout's twice his size, if not more in robot mode.

    I should not have pointed out, not so much of the height as Im looking more of the daintyness of the figure. Just does not come across well to me as the character from the show. I would say almost every one of these figures SCREAMS "Im the guy from the show you know" Not this one...

    Yea..yea...I know what your saying...but from what im seeing, it just really looks like one of the crappier ROTF scouts. The colors look pretty bland, and the chest and shoulders just dont give me that incredible look the character has in the show. Add to that the door arms, and the wheel bits...just looks like the cheapest looking Deluxe from the line. The arms look gawd awful, and make cliffjumpers arms looks great (which I have no problem with btw)

    Kncok out is one of the coolest characters on that show for me. I love the "Salesmen" aspect, and I even get that vib from the show long before a bio for him. This, to me, is just a pretty poor mold in a line that has been VERY suprising.

    Meh...I would not say he is twice the size, not at all. Scales nice with the other small figs is how I would put it.

    Not too crazy about the paint job. Seems the two choices of red work against eachother rather than compliment. It kinda gives off as an unflattering G1 Deadend look. I do like the mold itself, shrimpy looking bot mode and all, and the vehicle mode is decent enough.

    I will still Pick this guy up though to complete my deception ranks. I plan on keeping him sealed anyways.

    The connection point sticking out makes him look cheap; his coloring looks like an older toy with sever sun-fading. Any easy pass.

    even transformed correctly, this thing looks like garbage.

    You can probably paint it up to look better, but that's still a strike against it.
