learning that Knock Out and Timmy Turner's dad have the same voice actor was one of the most significant revelations of my life
Dinkleberg!
Now I can't unhear timmy's dad saying juicey to timmy's mom
@@theeyeofmonitor6841 you're a monster, now I can't stop hearing it!!!
Don’t forget that Darren ALSO voiced Cosmo and Jorgen Von Strangle...that last one’s a tiny bit ironic.
@@jackofallclaws6672 the more the merrier
“Uh-oh. Does this have a fast-forward button? Or better yet, erase?!”
One of my favorite scenes 😂
“This is going to be *JUICY* ”
Knock Out: And this where I keep my buffer... IF I HAD ONE!
Prepare for surgery !!!

Chris McFeely: "Transformers Prime's Knockout was a breakout character."
Me: "Huh, I wonder why?"
Knockout: [Says a single sentence]
Chris McFeely: "Fans voted Knockout into the Transformers Hall of Fame."
Me: "Fair enough."
Nods head approvingly
To paraphrase, "Knock Out would be tickled."
Realising that TF: Prime aired 10 years ago has made me feel my age
Same here
In Czech Republic it's 8 years ago ;)
Isaac Clark in a few years it's going to be the 40th for G1 and that's making me feel my age but you're only as old as you act. I'm turning 43 in a few days and I still act 13 so don't let 10 years get you down brother
Same
Yep I remember rushing from my parents to my grandparents watching it in TV in the morning
"Aim for the head!"
"What? How do you know?"
"I've seen human horror films!"
God, I love Knockout.
"At drive in theaters!"
Prime Knockout: The only Knockout that matters
That's what I liked about him. Most Decepticon especially Megatron are disinterest with human cultures except for Knock Out!
@@Renkencen if we had to be imprisoned by any con, it has to be Knockout, we could convinse him to watch movies together...
Heck yes!
“Careful, Starscream, you may dislocate a landing gear patting yourself on the back.”
If this line isn’t iconic enough
He’s iconic 😭👏🏾
I mean starscream did ride that “I snuffed Cliffjumper” high for the entire series.
Knockout: "I must admit I've always admired your lustrous finish."
Starscream: 😐
Knockout: 😐
*awkward silence *
Starscream: * itty bitty smile *
Since he was the back of the truck this further proves of how much of a damn bottom he is
“Well......we should be be going..”
Starscream: Vruh.
😂😂😂😂
Remember when Laserbeak had the grenade inside of him and Knockout had to dispose of it? Then when Megatron was talking to Soundwave, he is interrupted by a faint explosion in the distance. 😂
And when he screamed like Goofy? Yes.
Yeeeeees!! That's quite right
@@sharpwavethedecepticon6837 he didn't scream like goofy that was actually a video someone edited unfortunately, I wish he did actually scream like goofy though
He was so scared that the wheels on his back were spinning
All I can say is DINKELBERG
TFP's Knockout and Starscream make my all-time Decepticon duo. His combination of flamboyance, lethality, skill, and goofiness puts him among the all-time greatest 'Cons.
Damn. Breakdown is sad
Or he’s offline, depending on continuity
Knockouts daily routine must be best among all decepticons... Just staying on ship for research or scouting or racing
@@vanshthakkar722 …or throwing in a witty one-liner or two, hopefully when Lord Megatron isn’t around
Prime Decepticons are what Bayverse Decepticons should've been, instead of gurgling heaps of scrap metal. And they were, have y'all seen the decepticon campaign for the transformers DS game, Barricade is a badass mentor figure, Brawl is bulkhead but psychopathic, and Blackout legit says
"Will you two fembots shut up ?"
To the rookie and Brawl.
@@Breakaway-ic5gj I am glad that I am not the only one who liked Barricade's mentor-figure depiction in that game.
“For the most creative use of a shield generator in a supporting role, the winner is...Knock Out!”
Ha! Yes, thank you for starting my morning right!
The VA is who made the character. If someone else voiced him, I don’t think we’d love him as much.
It kinda reminds me of how Wentworth Miller's portrayal of Captain Cold made the character a thousand times better. It wouldn't be the same if someone else tried to perform the snarkisms. Honestly with their propensity for overdramatics, despite one being a "fleshie", the two would probably get along. And they're both part of a red-blue villainous friendship, albeit with the colors and roles reserved.
He’s also Timmys dad
The only other character Daran Norris played that comes close to Knock Out in terms of villainous hamminess is Mercurymon from Digimon Frontier.
@@Igarappappa He also plays Stan’s dad, Jack / Krampus, every so often on American Dad.
I actually think Troy Baker could do a decent voice if Darren wasn’t available. He did steeljaw in RID2015 and for the first half of the show I legit thought his voice was the same as knockouts
i will never get over the fact that knock out basically called optimus *THICC*
Yeah 🤣
But really though have you seen his walk cycle in the show
A character so fabulous, you'd convince yourself he had good toys.
I love it when a name finally sticks to a particular bot
Same. Slipstream 💞
Same
Ahem. Movie Barricade
We did NOT get enough of Prime Knockout. Can some 3rd party company give him a transforming figure that he deserves?
Yeah
Would be much harder than designing Movie Masterpiece figures. Most TF Prime designs are much slimmers than the movie
@@duongallen4094 Third party companies have managed to accomplish black magic with their movie figures completely hiding kibble, so I have no doubts they can somehow make Knockout work. Hell, I'll be content with him having a tiny bit of a backpack that just comes off if it means we get a great Knockout, but I have faith third party companies can somehow get it to work.
A transforming figure would be perfect, but for the moment I would even settle for Iron Warrior to make a non transforming action figure of him. At least until another company can make a transformable one.
@@dragon_storm_4830
Yeah, a pure action figure would suffice, too. I mean, these designs are so good that just action figures, and maybe an included car that's about the same size would suffice enough to have on a display.
I love how each and every show has at least molded a brand new character or an old throwaway name into a memorable character.
-2001 RiD - Skybyte
-Unicron trilogy - Sideways
-Movies - Barricade
-Animated - Bulkhead
-Prime - Knockout
And so on...
Beast Wars - Rampage
2015 RID - Strongarm
@@Its_Charlie_Young Not sure Rampage really counts. Beastwars Rampage really hasn't influenced the legacy of the character more than any other version. Beastwars Rampage is still my favorite version of the character, but his influence is kind of small compared to the rest on the list.
unicron trilogy had a lot of memorable character, vector prime, hotshot, red alert and wingsaber come to mind, though vector prime and wing saber I don't believe were ever used beforehand
@@R0-83-RT Oh. Well...uhh...I can't think of any other character then. Inferno?
@@Its_Charlie_Young Jetstorm perhaps, most Jetstorms seem to be based on the Beast Machines version. Though that is naturally not Beast Wars.
Something I really liked about the character in particular, is that it finally gave the Decepticons a definitive medic character. Before this point, there never really was one in the G1 lineup.
There was Dr scalpel in the movie
I can actually hear Knock Out's voice in my head on getting inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame:
“Well naturally. I was clearly the superior choice! Let’s face it, I’m also the best looking choice as well!”
😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
I heard his voice when I read your comment 🤣
@@lonewolfgaming4916 me to
What kind of black magic is this I can hear him too
Get out of my brain
@@cybernubmaster988 Why do you want it gone? He’s the best!
I JUST BUFFED THAT!!!!!🤣
Knock Out and Ratchet had great chemistry together. I would have loved to see a story about them going around solving medical mysteries
When he had the phase shifter. “Trippy”
"Buff this."
"Hey, watch the paint!!"
"You painted my paint job! Prepare for surgery!!"
"Watch out for the quiet ones."
"Autobots, say hello to my new finish protector."
"I just buffed that!"
"How low can it go?"
"Wakey, wakey..."
"Made you squirm."
"This is going to be juicy."
"So go on, Big M, tell me you love me more than Starscream."
"Did I say grand? I meant totally rude."
"And you're the monkey wrench who thought it was a good idea to dabble in Voodoo!"
"You're no Breakdown. Though I must confess, I have always admired your lustrous finish."
"Even if I had helped him seize this ship, he would probably just fire me out of the first airlock. Oh. And he's rude."
So many awesome one liners from Knock Out in that show! Far too many to list all at once here. Honestly one of my absolute personal favourite characters to come out of TF Prime, a cartoon which I'm very glad defined this character in the best way possible. :)
You forgot the ones when he saw Megatron viewing Starscream's memories
@@wyrmshogun5245 Oh, yeah, I completely forgot! I'll include that as well, then. ^^
He's got too many one liners to be unlikeable!
@@SewerWarrior Exactly! I never get tired of him once. :)
I feel like Robots in Disguise could've done slightly better if Knock Out made the transition from Prime, just by the multitude of one-liners.
“You painted my paint job! Prepare for surgery!”- (Knockout)
6:17 What I love about this line is after Knock Out says this, Optimus defends him by referring to what Megatron finally did and what Optimus always wanted out of him
The capacity for change
Man this kills me to learn TF Prime was 10 years ago :( but hiring Daran Norris as Knockout was a HUGE win for the show indeed
It's time for a *"Break-Down"* on *"Knock-Out."*
Leave
@@retrozip with the "Counterpunch"
Chris should do Breakdown next!
Breakdown on Knockout is probably a bit risque for this channel, lol
@@scottywan82 Wattpad on the other hand...
Daran Norris on November 26th:
"10 years later and I'm still a Knockout!"
JUICY
@Ewan Callister so we're a year early? Look, time doesn't exist anymore, we deleted it, please help.
“This is going to be Juicy”
Knockout had a lot of personality in the show, more than others.
Knockout: "I'm not only an Automobile, I'm an Automobile enthusiast"
“Buff this”
Ahhh Knockouts great
I'm an old G1 fan. With that said I did love Prime (or what I watched of it) and it's great to see bots of the newer versions getting love. I also like to say thank you for introducing me to bots I wouldn't have known much about. Because I can't watch every hour of Transformers.
It’s a real honor to a transformer‘s iteration that doesn’t by any means I don’t know whatsoever resemble the original G1 series, to be equally appreciated by a G1 fan.
When you introduced knockout from prime my first thought was "oh yeah he's a doctor"
After Prime himself, Knockout has to be the second best character in the series
Soundwave and Starscream were awesome too
After bumblebee on 3rd
@@vanshthakkar722 nah, knockout was waaayyyyyyyy better than bumblebee. Bumblebee didn't even have much character until the very end of the series
"Let me handle this. IT WAS ALL KNOCKOUT'S FAULT"
"yeah- waIT WHAT"
Knockout is one of the most quotable transformers characters ever, second only to Optimus Prime.
Yeah but Optimus is best for grand speeches, Knock Out had all the best one liners.
@@jeremytung1632 what about beast wars inferno
@@patrickdang6733 he’s in his own little world of ash and flames.
“HEY! WATCH THE PAINT!”
Knockout is super underrated and I seriously hope he pops up more in the future!
Chris: **uploads video**
us the viewers: *“This is going to be Juicy!”*
Word is his designers in Transformers Prime labeled him "The sexiest robot ever made."
Don't tell Mettaton or Raymond Boxman.
i love the idea of Knockout having originated with that clunky bodytype, and modifying himself down over time to the sleek, stylish bot we know now, using the skills he developed working on himself to now change up others how they like
Kinda glad Knockout never appeared in the movies. Because he’d be another con who’d die in 10 seconds
Knockout: *I want to be in at least one film!*
Megatron, Starscreem, Soundwave, Shockwave, Blackout, Bonecrusher, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul, Overload, Rampage, Hightower, Scavenger, Brawl, Onslaught, Blitzwing, Shatter, Dropkick, Crowbar, Crankase, Hatchet, Lockdown, Stinger: *Go away! It's a fucking bad idea!*
Jazz, Ironhade, Ratchet, Jolt, Arcee, Chromia, Elita-1, Sideswipe, Mirage, Roadbuster, Leadfoot, Sentinel: *You will be killed! It's very sad, but it's true!*
Barricade: *Pfft! I don't see any problems!*
Optimus, Bumblebee: *Yeap! No one will fill you all anyway!*
3:29 "Knockout formed the head of Ultra Magnus." Looks more like he formed the chest. Or both.
It was both.
Energon Ultra Magnus was actually a straight redeco of Armada Overload. The only reason I know this is because years ago, I was given a copy of the Costco-exclusive yellow and burgundy redeco of Overload that comes in a 2-pack (technically 4-pack if you're counting Overload's Mini-Con Rollout and Prime's Sparkplug as separate figures) with a similarly redecoed Armada Optimus Prime. I was only given the Overload and Rollout figures, though. My Rollout is also missing a leg, so there's that.
8:03 when he said "being voted by fans" I thought for one second that someone deadass voted for Knockout as president.
Take a forgotten character,
Give him a sexy voice,
Instant fan favorite.
And a great personality
When I first watched the show, Breakdown and Knockout were the two descepticons whose designs I liked the most, so I paired them together in my own head cannon. Only years later did I find out that they actually were a couple.
Crazy right!
@@wolfgang6442 pretty crazy yeah
At least in the comics. They never said if they were a couple in the show. I'm leaning towards no, if only because if they were in a relationship, Knock Out would have taken Breakdown's death much, much worse.
@@Igarappappa While it wasn’t stated in the show, I’m pretty sure the official tf Instagram put them on their page as a couple related to a Valentine’s Day post therefore confirming it? I could be wrong
@@cri2855 Was it show version or comic version? Also another reason I doubt they were a couple in show was because Breakdown showed a brief interest in Airachnid.
I'll be honest, I replayed that clip of Knockout at 5:11 over and over just because I loved the way he said that line.
*whistles* Sweet rims.
Knockout was one of the many characters they wanted to add in Cyberverse. I’m sad they didn’t follow through with it, but here’s hoping he pops up in another show soon!
Dreamwave Knockout being so excited about building something to the point of fainting sounds pretty adorable
First! This was one my favorite characters in the Transformers Prime Series! Of course Optimus is always my Favorite, I also loved Shockwave, but Knockout clearly stands out as an original character!
For me it’s soundwave
For me, Soundwave and Ratchet
For me I particularly loved starscream, dreadwing, and arcee. But knockout is just too funny.
6:21 I agree, Knock Out was a great stand out character in TFP.
Also since he was a favourite among fans if I was one of the writers for Robots in disguise 2015 (the sequel series), I would include Knock Out in the series which could act has his redemption series after defecting from the Decepticons and joining the Autobots and have him take Sideswipe’s place on Bumblebee’s team.
And also I would make him have a friendship with the human character Russell Clay similar to Starscream's and Kendrick's friendship on Transformers Armada.
Knockout reminds me of Razer from the 3D Green Lantern the Animated Series.
I just realized they do look similar
So I wasn't crazy then lol.
I love how they wrote the prime version of knockout. He's easily topped my favorite transformers list. My sister is part of and a big supporter of the lgbt+ community and when I showed her a few scenes with knockout, and occasionally breakdown and starscream (specifically the zombie con episode), she said he was written "pretty well" and both of us are in agreement that both couples are worst case shipable.
i think he's a good character, but at the same time making your gay coded characters the bad guys is a trope that needs to die
Welcome back to another episode on "Why This Transformer Should Be In Your Collection, and Why You Should Care About The Character."
In all seriousness, this guy is the reason why I got Rung and Springer from Amazon today
Knock Out was my favorite Decepticon in TFP(aside from Soundwave). He was just a different type of bot compared to the other Decepticons. He was super entertaining to see on screen and his whole color scheme really made him stand out when most Decepticons were deep cool colors. He was just a very likable bad guy and mixed with how he and Breakdown were, it showed that not all Decepticons are evil all the time
Bye Dingleberg, Hello Knockout
4:50
He and his “ *assistant* “ Breakdown.
Before, I thought I'll never like a single Decepticon til I saw TFP Knockout and boy was I in love with his character. He's a masterpiece.
"Careful there, Starscream; you might dislocate a landing strut patting yourself on the back."
I'm so glad you finally Collected the Knockout biography ... it 's so much better to get to know our favorite characters better... I really Love Knockout character... And I think you forgot Knockout in doujinshi Transformers Japanese manga
I honestly think Prime has my favorite versions of every character featured in it. And Knock Out was, as stated here, a breakout among an already fantastic cast. I would love to see a new figure of him with today's engineering and design, because while I like the Prime version, it mostly gets by on who it represents.
Damn the Autobots could've easily bribed the whole lot of Constructors to their side by just saying "Hey, we need something BIG done."
Let’s be honest, when TFP played around with pre-established characters personalities it tended to give us the definitive versions of those characters. Like Ratchet. Or Starscream. And, obviously, Knockout. But the best character in Prime was Agent Fouler.
Knockout is one of the most funniest and good looking decepticon from Transformers Prime! He is also one of my favorite characters from that show!
That minicon was my fav as a kid, I took him everywhere with me
The fact Knock Out and Mercuremon in the Digimon Frontier dub have the same voice actor is amusing. Like Daran Norris has voiced a somewhat fruity metal twink two times, which is something not a lot of voice actors can say they've done.
I feel like "somewhat fruity" is underselling Knockout just a tad.
He also voiced the winner of the Ms. Dimmsdale contest.
That little smile in 6:19 makes me feel warm, he's so adorable.
Knockout in Prime was excellent. Having that freedom of more or less of a blank slate character was probably part of it.
Knockout was amazing! I love him in Prime and the voice actor Darian Norris did a PERFECT job! That actor is actually well known in Nickelodeon as Cosmo, Timmy s Dad, and some live action series on the channel. Hard to believe he did such a great job as Knockout!
Starscream: We dont want megatron thinking we're responsible!
Knockout: But... WE ARE!
“For the most creative use of a Shield Generator in a supporting role, the winner is... Knockout!”
(Makes you wonder how much human media Knockout goes through in his spare time.)
"I guess we should cancel the welcome home party."
That was probably the best line in all three seasons.
Here’s an idea for a Basics episode: The Basics on DRONES. Or an episode on Skids.
Easily my favourite character in TF:P. He had the best lines, too! Thank you for this episode!
Megatron: Who was responsible for this outrage?!
Starscream: It was him Lord Megatron!
Knockdown: Yes your leige... *WHAT?!*
Prime KO is by FAR the best knockout. He literally made history and was voted into the hall of fame my statement stands.
i love aligned continuity in more ways than 1..knockout plays a big role in it too
One of MANY thing i Loved about about Transformers Prime Series
Aligned Continuity is The BEST Continuity of all Transformers Beating G1 and IDW
An ACTUAL Story that as the story progress so as the Plot
The Story Arc is the Best
TF Lore that Use to it Fullest
Many Likeable Character (Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Knock Out, Breakdown, Dreadwing, Airachnia, Shockwave, Predaking)
Human Character is more useful than Useless
Character that ACTUALLY Died and Stay Died
Menacing and Likeable Decepticon
Peter Cullen, Frank Welker (Don't Judge Me is my Opinion)
We just dont talk about RiD 2015 😂
While I disagree when it comes to it being better than IDW, it is easily my third favorite continuity (the second favourite being beast wars : uprising). I also love that it really only has one disappointment. Most of the shows, comic books, novels and games are great.
@@Mr.Murphy2802 of course RID 2015 is what Ruin Prime Perfect and Metaphor Ending
@@Mr.Murphy2802 it doesn't count, Aligned ended with Predacons Rising...
Something that hasn't happened yet but should: Any sort of storyline with the definitive Prime Knockout and a G1-styled Sunstreaker. I mean, G1 Sunstreaker's a narcissist who could've turned 'con if it wasn't for his preference of red on yellow over purple on yellow. Just imagine that kind of an autobot alongside the similarly stylish street-racing savant that is Knockdown.
Although there were pre-2010 characters named Knock-Out, the "Prime" version is a more original character seeing as how he was animated.
We just HAVE to get a good collectors figure of this guy, come on 3rd party companies get on it!
With each passing day I'm convinced more and more that Transformers: Prime is one of if not the best Transformers series to date ever to be graced upon the screen.
From now until the end of time, I will refer to Prime Knockout as "Mah Boi", and he will be the gold standard of all Knockouts for the future.
He probably kinda is considering he appeared in IDW and some other media.
I cried so hard- I've been WAITING SO LONG for this video! Knocky is my absolute favorite character!
"You painted my paint-job! Prepare for SURGERY!!" I think the only only things that *truly* pissed off Knockout in the entire series were messing with his paint and desecrating Breakdown's corpse.
Wait, if Transformers don't "grow" in the sense that biological organisms do, how can they gain or lose weight without literally taking body parts off?
The way I thought of it, it’s more like removing anything unnecessary, while making them weigh less.
I'm honestly running out of characters I want to see covered by your channel, you've done almost all of my favourites in the past 12 months.
Good thing I like learning about characters I haven't heard of even more!
there's over 200 characters in the TF franchise & Chris hasn't even covered all of them
To think that I’ve collected the TF: Prime show on Blueray just in time for the ten year anniversary! Gives me warm feelzzzz!
Anytime he says knockout I can only think of one word
JUICY
I love knock out but every time I see him I remember showing my friend an episode and when knock out came on screen he laughed so hard and I asked him why and he just told me “it’s stan’s dad”
Knock out is the best deception character in Transformers Prime and given how great a lot of them are that says a lot
You gotta love a Decepticon that can kick butt while also showing great style. I can't believe it's already been a full decade since "Transformers: Prime" and its take on Knock-Out premiered on our television screens.
TF:Prime version of Knock-out is definitely the best
The ignomy of being reduced to little more than a gopher? LOL That's a sentence you don't hear every day!
"Of which knockout formed the rear." OH my even in g1 huh?
"Though I must confess, I always admire your LUSTROUS finish...."
-Knock Out TFP Season 3 Ep. 8
One of my Favorite Characters from Prime. Great personality not to evil but still a Deceptcon at heart funny charismatic not to powerful but still kicking ass as much as a villain can be allowed . Also being a Red Decepticon is quite unique😏.
Mr "juicy" not himself
When I saw that this vid will come out of was so excited
Now it's here
That Revenge of the Fallen one looks more like an attempt to give Waspinator a vehicle mode.
Yooo it's my birthday. I always connected with Knockout personality wise this is PERFECT.
Next to TFP Megatron, Knock out is my second favorite decepticon. Mainly because he didn't overly act like a decepticon.
Prime knockout is easily the best version, and one of the best characters in the entirety of the prime show
TFP crossover artists are going to have a field day with this.
