Knockdown (Cybertron)
From Transformers Wiki
| The name or term "Knockdown" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Knockdown (disambiguation). |
- Knockdown is an Autobot-allied Animatronian Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Knockdown is one of several Mini-Cons who have allied themselves with the Autobots. Natives of the Jungle Planet tend to flee in his wake—not necessarily due to the awesome strength he packs for his size, but because he never shuts up about the world's amazing technorganic flora and fauna. Like a saurian Mark Trail, he will senselessly pummel anyone he catches messing with nature, although whether he can punch off anyone's beard is up for debate.[1]
He is a member of the Prehistoric Team of Mini-Cons.

Notes
- A Mini-Con called Knockdown was planned for release in one of the Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs as part of the Night Rescue Team, facing off against Predator Attack Team member Terrorsaur. His bio describes him as a mighty but clumsy bot, but he might not necessarily have used the Triceratops mold.[2]

"KNOCKDOWN has always been bigger and slower than the other MINI-CON robots, a fact that caused a lot of ridicule when he was in primary programming. Without the self confidence to use his incredible strength, he often comes across clumsy. The only others to ever be truly kind to him are his friends on the Night Rescue Team, STRONGARM and NIGHTSCREAM. He enjoys his nighttime patrols with his friends more than he can say, and even though his life in this little town has been unpleasant, he looks forward to using his strength in its defense."—Hidden bios for the unreleased Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs found on the Transformers website
