You were close - it's a Pontiac Trans-Am, a variant of the Firebird that had the famous noselike hood scoop (which typical Firebirds and Chevy Camaros at the time didn't have) The "shorts" are supposed to be a representation of Michael Knight's jeans (with the black shins apparently being his occasional cowboy boots, the black torso being his leather jacket, and the visor over the eyes being his shades).

I always liked that slick black car from the show I never saw because I only knew about the show thanks to the opening and the fact that I think David hasselhoff was the main protagonist in the show and was drving KITT but the fact that even this show has a cross over toy and it looks this cool, I got to say I am very impressed. This transformation looks very simple but not overly complicated, his posing is very strong and I don't think it needs to be said how very sick the car mode is. It was pretty funny in the beginning when you were trying to transform it to actively want the thing to show you why you should take it slow for the arms only for it to actually be good until it decided to finally pop off lol but either way, another fun revew!

Finally got a couple of cross overs this year. Ecto Tron, and Party Wallop, and out of the two I like Ecto the best despite how dated the engineering is. Agent Knight looks like a lot of fun, and looks like a great addition to the Alternators shelf though he shares very little of the engineering or design philosophy of that line. Transformation here is about as G1 generic as you can get but Agent Knight more than makes up for it in size, lights/sounds and weaponry. Just really wish I could budget him in before years end.

If they ever get around to making KARR (KITT's older evil brother), I hope they give him a new face. KITT's head looks nice, but it feels weird to have him with a mouth.
