Punch - Counterpunch: Is he an Autobot, or a Decepticon?

In the world of the Transformers, some characters master in espionage. The Autobot Punch can go into DEEP COVER by disguising himself as the Decepticon Counterpunch. Or is it the other way around? NOTE - While the vehicle that G1 Punch-Counterpunch transforms into is BASED on a Fiero, he is altered enough that Hasbro did NOT need to pay for licensing. Therefore, I'm not incorrect in calling it a generic blue sports car.

For me, Punch-Counterpunch were and always will be a deep-cover agent Autobot at Spark that can disguise as a Decepticon. Actually I love the Autobot-Decepticon conversion concept because in a way it's LITERARY Robots In Disguise. Like one of Optimus Prime's line in his Nemesis Prime DLC redeco in Transformers: DEVASTAION, "This is what I call a Robot in Disguise". I also remember this one time in a particular con that I saw POTP Punch-Counterpunch and regretting not buying it, so when I heard they're gonna re-release the figure with Barricade in Earthrise, I was happy and will DEFINITELY get that set.

I remember finding this toy in my legendary $20 box o' Transformers flea market find. I was pretty perplexed/impressed by it, as I had never seen or heard of a Transformer that had two robot modes, much less two allegiances. The way it came across to me in The Rebirth, is there were actually TWO characters. The Autobot Punch who can disguise himself as the Decepticon Counter-Punch, and the Decepticon Counter-Punch who can disguise himself as the Autobot Punch. So you were really getting two Transformers in one with that toy! Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for Counter-punch to say his counterpart is nearby, if there wasn't a separate character? If there really is just one guy, wouldn't the Decepticons figure that out pretty quickly? I don't know what to think. This is so crazy, haha.

It's a crime we never got a TFA version. His alternate personality could have been a result of triple-changer technology forced upon him by the Decepticons to make him an unknowing double-agent for them. Whether or not he gets a second alt mode for Counterpunch, idk. Maybe a monster truck version of Punch's alt mode 🤷‍♂️

I call him a reverse triple changer. 2 robot modes and one alt mode. When Doubledealer, Apeface, Snapdragon and even Alpha Trion I was imagining them also as Transfaction reverse triple changers. A decepticon beast modes and autobot robot modes. As a sort of an Animated "Elita-1/Black Arachnia" eww of organic modes. So the character believes they have to be aligned with the Decepticons and must hide their beast mode from the Autobots.

I wish there was a little more focus on Punch becoming a Decepticon sympathizer and maybe playing both sides in accordance with his own decisions.

Although I used punch /counter punch as an Autobot spy . . . It might have been interesting to use him as two separate people or a Jekyll & Hyde type person. It might not be wise for a toy company to base a character on a real physiological disorder like multiple personalities. As I've heard in a review of the classic Zartan G.I. Joe figure including details like that can be problematic or offensive.

This is why I refuse to hate Hotrod. He was the first to notice the hijacked shuttle. During the moment that most see as his failure he was the only one to have battlefield awareness and realize Megatron was going for a gun. He rallied the Dinobots, he saved Kup, he recruited the Junkions and he defeated Galvatron and Unicron. Not bad for a first day.

Tho many still hold Hotrod's supposed part of Optimus Prime's first ever death against him, some still even to this very day. I used to not like Hotrod because of his jumping in between Optimus and Megatron, and then having to replace Optimus, however over time I saw the regret in Hotrod/Rodimus as he felt terrible and responsible for what happened to Prime, and he did his damnedest to make up for it until Optimus came back. I started to go easier on him as a character since then. Once Optimus came back and not only showed not holding ill-feelings for his successor, he also forgave him/sorta gave a no forgiveness is necessary moment. Once I saw that Optimus was willing to forgive and be cool with Hotrod/Rodimus, I figured it was time for me to forgive Hotrod as well. Now every time he appears I think of him much like his G1 self, fast, fun, and always tries have the best intentions, and if he gets a Rodimus/leadership arc in place of Optimus, I'm willing to give it a chance and see where it goes. I hope there are others who've learned to let go of the "Hotrod made Optimus die" thing and try to see him as to what he really is, a well intended, stylish and fast young Autobot who always tries to have his spark be in the right place with a hidden potential for leadership.

It's really a shame that Punch/Counterpunch hasn't appeared in a lot of Transformers media. He really does have an awesome gimmick that makes for such a complicated but compelling character. Personally, I tend to follow closely with the American G1 cartoon continuity, and believe that Punch was always an Autobot who had the ability to turn into a Decepticon. Hopefully he does get recognized some more in the future.

Rodimus, I love how you turned the background grid from Autobot red (when you spoke about Punch) to Decepticon purple (when you mentioned Counterpunch). I also want to give a shoutout to Hasbro, who came out with some dang good toy designs in the dying days of TF. Some real thought went into the designs of Doubledealer, Sixshot & Quickswitch, obviously Scorponok & Fort Max, and Punch/Counterpunch. Had the US cartoon continued, we undoubtedly would have gotten a P/CP episode dealing with his loyalties to both sides, some Bots and Cons not fully trusting him, etc. I imagine he would have to be EXTREMELY cautious around Soundwave with his mind-reading abilities. And in the Japanese cartoon, it looked kinda sloppy, him relaying info to the Bots in the middle of Con home base! Guess that's how confident he was at not getting caught! I'm glad Master TF Scribe Simon Furman gave him some love in SECRETS AND LIES, itself a fantastic gaps-filling mini!

I've always liked the idea of Punch, being loyal autobot and he did make a good spy. But the prolonged stress of the war and personality he puts up as Counterpunch, he developed a second personality. The second personality only coming out slowly during Megatron's reign whenever someone questioned him on being soft, so Punch dug deep into a dark place within him to prove the others wrong. Mortified at some of things he had to do, to his fellow autobots. He'd black out from the stress, and during Galvatron's reign as leader. That personality became more and more stronger.

Multiple Personality Disorder as Weird and Scary as it can seem is a very Fascinating Mental Condition to have. My mom was actually Diagnosed with it when she Raised me so I'm no Stranger to it. Despite that, it's still makes for an Interesting Character Trait in certain stories when it's well written.

She also had Schizophrenia as well unfortunately @@ls_rus4666. But yes I witnessed it First Hand growing up. So I had a Exotic yet Ruff Upbringing to say the least. Despite that though, I'm still thankful that she brought me into This World nevertheless. She may not be in our Family anymore, but I'll use my Experience to Help Others when the Opportunity Arises. I needed to get that off me so thanks for the giving me some Courage with you're Response. Thanks Alot.

I say that Punch is a real robot and Counterpunch just a disguise. And there was a Shattered Glass version of him ans he doesn't count I add him in Counterpunch is a real robot for the Good Decepticon side as a and Punch is a disguise of the evil Autobot. We need morw Autobot and Decepticon spys in the future and him or them back as well thanks for the video. Megatron: That Decepticon is a Autobot spy. Optimus Prime: That Autobot is a Con spy.

I recently dove into the comics, and read Secrets & Lies. I liked Punch, and was glad when he appeared in the Domino's 2-pack. I really wish they did episodes showcasing the adventures the Transformers had on the other planets in War for Cybertron.

I think Punch/Counterpunch is an anti hero, willing to work for whomever side benefits him the most regardless of status or power or superiority. He will only work for those who meet or exceed or benefit his expectations and not those of his comrades. That’s what I think.

I must say I like the original one still moast since it makes sence for him to change wappons when he transformes into the other given that diffrend part are used for the transformations and given his wappon change he would be less likely to be found out as being the other.
