Oh, so that's why Prime vs. Prime made a scene of K.I.T.T punching Optimus in the face, 'cause he shares a similar voice to K.A.R.R? Lololololololol😂 Talk about a great joke punch line.
He's not. This autobot is not KITT. This autobot is Agent Knight. Autobot who replaced KITT due to unknown reasons (maybe KITT was on vacation or was heavily damaged?). I think we should get his backstory like in case of Ectotron or Gigawat....
Early in the series, Hoff would often wear red/orange tinted sunglasses. Combine those with his bright bluejeans (this even has a silver buckle, and Hoff usually had a big belt buckle on), I’d say robot mode definitely looks like Hoff’s Michael Knight.
@@PrimeVsPrime I agree but they need bring back lights and sounds for Leader Class And the leader class needs to a size of old leader class not voyager class size.
KARR is KITT's Decepticon counterpart. Twins were created by Vector Sigma, in which the Autobots had 2 Trans Ams, one of which went rouge and joined the Decepticons.
No. This is stupid. Imagine KITT and KARR watching as some robots took their place for unknown reason. One is good and one is evil. Even this would be too much for (3v1L) KARR.
They were trying to refernce Hasslehoff's Michale Knight, complete w/shades & Blue Jeans. I agree though, "KiTT" would have been a more appropriate name.
So, should they call the DeLorean transformer Marty, or Doc instead of Gigawat? And what about Ectotron? Wouldn't some of the Ghostbusters names be better? Because not always do the toys need those official names from movies, TV shows and stuff. Also maybe licencing issues. Dunno, KITT might be licensed for official toys only and these crossovers, while being official for Transformers franchise might not be official for the Knight Rider property. I'm not expert on licensing, so no idea, why they decided to call him Agent Knight, instead of KITT, but it might be related to licensing issues.
This is a must have for me. I love KITT. The Pontiac Firebird/Trans-Am is my favorite car. And I used to own a 1988 Firebird that looked like that. I wish I still had it. It's the only car I owned that I miss the hell out of.
I really hope Hasbro makes a K.A.R.R retool out of this figure with Optimus prime part and Peter Cullen voice phrases because Peter Cullen did voice act K.A.R.R in night rider
I swear you are capable of convincing people "watching paint dry" is the most exciting thing ever. You are so overly excited and amazed by every tiny little thing. It's funny. But he is a great figure! Thank you for your enthusiasm
I would love to see a crossover with the General Lee, because that also was an iconic car from the 80s. I love both K.I.T.T and the General, such cool cars.
I think the Datsun-inspired transformation is quite fitting, as the Datsun 280ZX (also known as the Nissan Fairlady Z) was also strongly considered to "play" K.I.T.T. during pre-production of the show. They ultimately went with the brand new (at the time) Pontiac Trans Am, but apparently it was a close call. I love this figure, the only tiny letdowns are that K.I.T.T.'s tan interior isn't mirrored in some way in the robotmode, and neither is his super iconic voicebox. I would have expected the voicebox to become the mouthplate or something like that.
80s toygasm. I probably still have one of those small Bumblebees, from the original toy line, stored somewhere. Never knew these crossovers existed, Agent Knight looks awesome.
Awesome! So worthy for Knight Rider fan out there who fan both Transformers and Knight Rider franchise. So fantastic video, PrimevsPrime, transform and ROLL OUT 🤗!
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!! I personally think KITT-Basher would have been a more interesting name for this crossover figure. lol Great to see lights and sounds in a Transformers figure again. Keep on being amazing.
The reason it's so out of scale with anything else is the electronics. If they made it smaller, the electronics would have taken up more of the figure, that would have most likely resulted in a horrible design (think mid 2000's gimmick Transformers). If they would have left the electronics out, that would have left more room under the hood for transformation. And let's give some praise to the pop-up headlights. That's a feature I don't remember ever seeing before in Transformers. Of course, it goes with the car model, but how many times does the vehicle mode have articulation? It's fantastic.
I know it's a stretch, but I would love to see a whole series based on this, you could have this with an Optimus inspired Knight Industry's semi truck, then you could have KARR and Goliath for the Decepticons. It'll never happen, but it would be awesome to see.
Ah!!! Finally! My journey will be complete!! At least for me, I have all the other cross-over figures, so having K.I.T.T next to the likes of the Delorian and Ecto-1, ahhh I'm so excited! And I assure you, at 46 years of age, not much can get me excited like my nostalgic childhood! 😂😂 Edit: Now that I looked through the comments, I agree, we're still missing the A-Team van, and Airwolf! 😂😂
Got my preorder in for this guy. Hope with the massive interest they do a karr repaint later. Nice to know that you can keep the lightbar on by holding the button for 2 secs
I hope they do a separate release without the light up feature as the battery pack makes the front look too beefy and I don't really need for an option to light him up. My personal opinion, but i would probably still buy this, amazing review.
Personally Id prefer it without the sound feature. With just the scanning light it would still be a good bonus for K.I.T.T. and that giant mass under the front bumper would be much smaller.
Great review. I think this is going to need some Toy Hax. It bothers me though that, William Daniels isn't voicing it. I said the same thing about Playmobil K.I.T.T. I have that one too.
You know, back in the 80s, I actually had an idea for a crossover, and here it is: It should have been an average day for Michael Knight. However, he soon realized that there's more to KITT than meets the eye: KITT is in fact an autobot who crashed onto Earth in an escape pod jettisoned from the Ark. So, KITT reunites with his Autobot brethren. However, Megatron soon realizes that KITT's longtime rival KARR is a Decepticon, and recruits KARR to his forces. So Michael now has to team up with the Autobots to foil Megatron's latest scheme. This crossover has everything: humor, drama, action, intrigue, and more reasons to question why Megatron even keeps Starscream around at all.
okay this guy is bigger than I expected. I have my pre-order for him, locked in since day 1 and have been looking forward to him. I'm sad he doesn't scale anywhere but I think he could be handwaved as an MP-lite. maybe they're testing the waters for how fans would like a more MP-scaled release of CHUG-style figures. This guy's basically deluxe engineering at a low-end MP price and size, which is nice.
I wasn't a fan of the "blue jeans" look at first, but it's growing on me. The way the toes flip out, it almost looks like they could be the seats in alt-mode.
My only 2 complaints: 1) Obviously the voice. 2) Why does he need a comm watch? He's literally the car. Only Michael needed the watch to communicate with Kitt.
fun fact, K.A.R.R. who is K.I.T.T.'s evil brother is voiced by none other than Peter Cullen, freaking Optimus Prime himself!
KARR was only voiced by Peter Cullen once. Just FYI.
@@MnemonicSyntaxso?
@@paulheap1982 so, he wasn't the only one that voiced KARR and it's a common misconception that he did.
Oh, so that's why Prime vs. Prime made a scene of K.I.T.T punching Optimus in the face, 'cause he shares a similar voice to K.A.R.R? Lololololololol😂 Talk about a great joke punch line.
Yeah, boy
The legs/waist are supposed to be "Blue Jeans" which Michael always wore and the visor is meant to be an homage to the giant 80's sunglasses.
Yes. I hated the blue legs until the kick pose, when I realized they are jeans.
This is probably the car that most deserved to have a Transformers figure ever. It already was a robot, it just needed the transformation.
Supreme facts.
So does. Rick and morty car lol she tried do,😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep summer safe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want the General Lee...
I never thought they'd turn KITT into a Transformer. I'm just glad he's an Autobot.
He's not. This autobot is not KITT. This autobot is Agent Knight. Autobot who replaced KITT due to unknown reasons (maybe KITT was on vacation or was heavily damaged?). I think we should get his backstory like in case of Ectotron or Gigawat....
His voice clip says he's KITT. Are you calling him a liar?
@@godmagnus He's IMPOSTOR.
@@adriantrelaAmogus
@@adriantrela WHy would you say that? of course it's KITT.
Man, now I hope we get Decepticon K.A.R.R.
And Goliath !
@@christopheouvrard8548 So Goliath would likely be Optimus and Karr Barricade?
And a Decepticon Goliath. The cabover truck with trailer that was also Kitt's nemisis
Yessss!!!
@@christopheouvrard8548 Goliath = Motormaster, and KARR = Stunticon Wildrider
Early in the series, Hoff would often wear red/orange tinted sunglasses. Combine those with his bright bluejeans (this even has a silver buckle, and Hoff usually had a big belt buckle on), I’d say robot mode definitely looks like Hoff’s Michael Knight.
Plus, the front of the firebird being KITT's chest is a good callback to Michael's jacket he wore in the show too
I would absolutely lose my mind if they make the iconic a team Chevrolet van from the 80s
With paint deco and sculpting like Mr. T's character B.A. Baracus, a weapon trunk and a whole armory as accessories.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🔥
Needs to include some matches, a few bits of string, and a power tool to engineer some surface to air missile launchers out of
@@migatron1
Those accessories might also work for a crossover figure with MacGyver. Lol
Only if it comes with their iconic
"mini m14"s
Back with light and sounds
Yes! Let’s hope we see them way more!
@@PrimeVsPrime I agree but they need bring back lights and sounds for Leader Class And the leader class needs to a size of old leader class not voyager class size.
Fly Like A Butterfly 🦋, Sting Like A Bee 🐝.
I wonder if you can unscrew the light/sound pack. It kind of ruins the front of the car.
He's wearing blue jeans! 😂
Exactly. First thing that came to mind
I couldn't figure out what it was about the blue that was setting me off lol
I actually had no idea lol! I just never pieced that together 😅
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿
I would like to see a stop motion transformation of Agent Knight in his own video taking on the likes of Star Scream or even Durge.
Next hope they will do Airwolf. When I was a kid,
I always was hoping knight rider and Airwolf do a crossover show. But that never happened
Either Airwolf or A-Team
Oh man that would be mega epic!
@@LionLeo2180 i believe A team van is already in hasbro listing now sure bout airwolf ..
Funny you mention Airwolf and Knight Rider having a crossover, my dad said basically the same thing about wanting that 😂
Great, now the airwolf theme is stuck in my head
This is probably the coolest Transformers crossover I’ve ever seen! Now I’m interested in Knight Rider!!
This is gonna be HUGE in Germany!
Norm Macdonald: "Germans love David hasselhoff!".
I remember when Hasselhoff was promoting you know what circa 2021/2022. He lost all my respect.
Italy as well. Trust me bro, Knight Rider is massively popular there.
Fantastic review! As a child of the 80's this figure is a dream come true!
Cant wait to get this guy in December!! Knight Rider is one of my fav shows! Now all we need is a Air Wolf please hasbro!!
You just don't deserve to get this little bro.
What a sweet looking toy, and bigger than I expected. The visor is a nice touch, looks like 80's aviator glasses.
If I recall, there was a time when Peter Cullen voiced KARR.
First KARR episode in original series (Trust doesn't rust) and also in 2008 show.
All we need now is Goliath! After that, General Lee!
no way in hell are we getting a general lee lmfao
@@FLAFRefuelledI think a blue X on a background would be close enough
YES YES!
@@denozed6554 glad you liked.
This is a MUST HAVE for me.
The vehicle mode is just HOT!
Now we really do need K.A.R.R. as another crossover.
KARR is KITT's Decepticon counterpart.
Twins were created by Vector Sigma, in which the Autobots had 2 Trans Ams, one of which went rouge and joined the Decepticons.
No. This is stupid. Imagine KITT and KARR watching as some robots took their place for unknown reason. One is good and one is evil. Even this would be too much for (3v1L) KARR.
LIGHTS AND SOUNDS?! Never thought i'd see the day that would happen
FINALLY!!
Always Knew that K.I.T.T. would make an Excellent Choice as an Autobot!
Now we need GOLIATH (the Big Grey & Black truck) as a Decepticon!
It is a crime they didn’t call him kitt
EXACTLY!!!
They were trying to refernce Hasslehoff's Michale Knight, complete w/shades & Blue Jeans. I agree though, "KiTT" would have been a more appropriate name.
So, should they call the DeLorean transformer Marty, or Doc instead of Gigawat? And what about Ectotron? Wouldn't some of the Ghostbusters names be better?

Because he's not KITT. He's his replacement like Gigawat or Ectotron.
Car mode is called K.I.T.T. he says it himself. I have him and will never call him agent knight 😂
6:28 They got KITT wearing jeans. He's just like Mike! 😂
Agent Knight is awesome! And his structure will be good for future releases for Prowl, Bluestreak,Smokescreen and KAAR.😃
Now we need AIR WOLF !!!!
Great video. The Pontiac Firebird was a larger car than the Datson Z cars. I can’t wait to get this figure.
Lighting effect is so cool !
I might have to watch episodes of this show since I’ve only seen small clips
I love that they gave KITT denim jeans in his design
Knowing the real sizes of the datsun and the firebird, it really does look like it's masterpiece scale.
What?!
Mashup of two of THE 80's Icons?!
YES PLEASE!!
In the Hasbro boardroom:
"Hey, all, does anyone have any of the leftover Bluestreak designs we scrapped?"
"Perfect."
lol I love that!
"Absolutely Kitted out." 😉
After seeing this I want an Initial D and Transformers cross over toyline
Take a shot every time he says "Grab a hold of..."
I’m calling it now: The next crossover will be the A-Team van.
Me waiting for the Flintstones Transformers car I wished existed:
im waiting for transformers x MASK thunderhawk car if they decided to do so
Ngl I would actually wish for a Lego Jet transformers toy.
This is a must have for me. I love KITT. The Pontiac Firebird/Trans-Am is my favorite car. And I used to own a 1988 Firebird that looked like that. I wish I still had it. It's the only car I owned that I miss the hell out of.
I really hope Hasbro makes a K.A.R.R retool out of this figure with Optimus prime part and Peter Cullen voice phrases because Peter Cullen did voice act K.A.R.R in night rider
I would love to see this but retooled into a mad max interceptor
Hopefully they can retool this into K.A.R.R. as a decepticon
Let's goooo! Looks pretty good. Love your reviews man keep up the good work
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your kind words! 🙏🏻🔥
I swear you are capable of convincing people "watching paint dry" is the most exciting thing ever.
You are so overly excited and amazed by every tiny little thing. It's funny.
But he is a great figure! Thank you for your enthusiasm
7:38 I understood that reference
I thought about making a custom K.I.T.T transformers, but this has already come out. Nice review PvP!
I think he scales quite nicely with mp cars, that firebird is bigger than a datsun 280zx
😮WOW! Knight Rider Car:K.I.T.T. Robot Transformer!….Next Do Airwolf (Helicopter)The A-Team(Van)And Street Hawk(Motorcycle )

80s toygasm.
I probably still have one of those small Bumblebees, from the original toy line, stored somewhere.

That front bumper which houses the battery compartment is unsightly and really detracts from the vehicle mode.
Awesome! So worthy for Knight Rider fan out there who fan both Transformers and Knight Rider franchise. So fantastic video, PrimevsPrime, transform and ROLL OUT 🤗!
now i am more excited than ever to get mine. i ordered 2 of them. cause i am going to want one in his car mode and one in his robot mode on display.
They're actually finally making this? It's a must-have.
We'll probably get K.A.R.R as well.
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!! I personally think KITT-Basher would have been a more interesting name for this crossover figure. lol Great to see lights and sounds in a Transformers figure again. Keep on being amazing.
Can't go wrong with a Firebird Trans Am. 😎😉
I love the details on this, especially the Pontiac logos on the rims.
Never asked my late father if he liked Knight Rider, and follow up with cuz Transformers collabed and made this.
I miss you, dad.

I had just assumed Knight was a retool of that Gigawatt. Its really way bigger!
AWESOME review, Planning to get Agent Knight very soon in the future
I imagine that when K.I.T.T. became a transformer he inspired his appearance in Michael Knight because he was the human he was most familiarized.
I'm betting that the creator and stars of Knight rider never ever imagined this. Nice one.
Wow the light and sound making a comeback
This is so awesome! Loved knight rider as a kid! Can't wait for the next blast from the past like Airwolf / A-Team / Dukes of Hazzard
Somehow, despite growing up in the 80s I never even heard of Knight Rider until the late 90s when it was in some trivia game I was playing.
Ah!!! Finally! My journey will be complete!! At least for me, I have all the other cross-over figures, so having K.I.T.T next to the likes of the Delorian and Ecto-1, ahhh I'm so excited! And I assure you, at 46 years of age, not much can get me excited like my nostalgic childhood! 😂😂

Awesome review! I’m now even more excited for this figure!
Can't wait for this to hit Ross stores
he is like a "clon" of Overdrive from the Omnibots, chest as a classic autobot as Jazz or Sideswipe too , awsome
0:11 did you fix Optimus’ heels?
I love it when two of my favorite childhood things get mashed up! 8 year old me is smiling.
I'm pretty sure that the visor and the blue legs are a refference to the glasses and jeans of Michael Knight.
Got my preorder in for this guy. Hope with the massive interest they do a karr repaint later. Nice to know that you can keep the lightbar on by holding the button for 2 secs
It's about fucking time they did this crossover!!!! I've been waiting for decades!!!
I hope they do a separate release without the light up feature as the battery pack makes the front look too beefy and I don't really need for an option to light him up. My personal opinion, but i would probably still buy this, amazing review.
Thanks mate! Personally I didn’t think the battery compartment looked too bad
@@PrimeVsPrime is definitely not the worst thing, I just thought it made it look less accurate to the car in the show.

*The 1980's Trans Am is my DREAM CAR!*
Very cool with the working front visor light strip.
I'm defence of his size, the Trans Am was about 20" longer than the 280z
Okay ..since they actually made the autobot to resemble Michael Knight…who’s ready for a Mitch Bucannon Baywatch yellow lifeguard truck version 😊
Hold on, its gonna be a bit bumpy 🔥
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 If we get Decepticon versions of AIR WOLF, RED WOLF, and BLUE THUNDER, I'm going to absolutely lose it!!
wait, why airwolf is decepticon?
@@人生百年渾沌不明 You know what? That's true, Air Wolf would be better as an Autobot.
Great review. I think this is going to need some Toy Hax. It bothers me though that, William Daniels isn't voicing it. I said the same thing about Playmobil K.I.T.T. I have that one too.
Autobot K.I.T.T is something I never knew I needed 😮
That 3-point landing pose was rad
You know, back in the 80s, I actually had an idea for a crossover, and here it is:
It should have been an average day for Michael Knight.

I really want to buy this for my dad for Christmas, bc he has a pontiac firebird too. it would be THE PERFECT gift.😊
okay this guy is bigger than I expected. I have my pre-order for him, locked in since day 1 and have been looking forward to him. I'm sad he doesn't scale anywhere but I think he could be handwaved as an MP-lite. maybe they're testing the waters for how fans would like a more MP-scaled release of CHUG-style figures. This guy's basically deluxe engineering at a low-end MP price and size, which is nice.
The batteries not being included is a good thing for MIB collectors as typically, batteries leak and stain/damage the toy they’re inserted into.
I wasn't a fan of the "blue jeans" look at first, but it's growing on me. The way the toes flip out, it almost looks like they could be the seats in alt-mode.
I have never seen Knight Rider, but this looks awesome.
My only 2 complaints:
1) Obviously the voice.
2) Why does he need a comm watch? He's literally the car. Only Michael needed the watch to communicate with Kitt.
Having the Twisted Metal Ice Cream Truck transform into a Robot Sweet Tooth with Flaming Head would be a sick idea.
My childhood brain would have ABSOLUTELY MELTED if this came out in the 80s
🔥great review love the poses 👏👏👏
I think the only thing that would make this better if it transforms into the pursuit mode as a third mode.
He reminds me a lot of Overdrive. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a retool.
Yes....K.I.T.T gives me strong ALTERNATOR vibes. I need this
I added this character to my Spin out team/lore
