Transformers LEGACY Deluxe Class KNOCKOUT Prime Universe Review

[@wayneigoe6722]

The best part about this figure is since you have to be delicate with it when transforming it, you can just imagine him saying "Watch the paint!" Every time you fiddle with it.

[@Hessiano77]

My exausth have some paint damage so if i have this figure i imagine knockout angry at my exausth

[@Maurice37374]

No it "hey the watch the finish"

[@bw1678]

Speaking of Prime Knockout, I wish they would make experimental remolds like the Beast Hunters series again. Knockout's Skullcruncher-inspired crocodile makeover was really fun.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Me too! I would love to see some of those conceptualised characters back!

[@isaandreso215]

Maybe as a Selects release if this figure does well

[@wizardsebastian5384]

Knockout Terrorise!

[@dinobot66]

Hell no! Please, never again! Haha

[@sideways409_4]

you mean crockout?

[@ReallyTwistedHumor]

I honestly really like it.....I just wish they'd done something to incorporate the way Knockout's wheelarches formed more prominent shoulder pads and his hood shifted in transformartion, kinda like movie & Prime Bee

[@billmcquown4168]

Agree- it would have gone a long way towards capturing his Prime character design more accurately. Too, had they been able to hinge his rear fenders into his hollow calves to streamline the legs a bit, it would have improved the fig, but likely at the cost of knee articulation. I don't think Jazz was the most ideal design to begin with, but as a cost cutting measure, and given the amount of retooling this fig received, it's not terrible.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Indeed! Love that design!

[@baddabing4494]

Now THIS prime character translates well to G1 stylings. Kinda miss the big "popped collar" look tho. I feel like if they just made the end pieces of his chest accordion out and pushed inward, it would go a long way.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Simple, the other characters' designs don't fall far from the G1 aesthetics tree, the Prime characters take inspiration from the movies and have very different designs that really lie far from G1.

[@isaiahp.4609]

Basically, the Prime designs are extremely stylized and the Cybertron/Unicron Trilogy stuff are already based on their toys.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

That’s true I guess that makes sense. I still wish these figures were faithful representations tho

[@isaiahp.4609]

@@PrimeVsPrime eh, what are you gonna do, there’s always Studio Series with the Predacons Rising movie.

[@LemonConsumption]

@@PrimeVsPrime the prime characters didn’t transform, they literally morphed between modes. That why the old prime toys were so wretched. I think the legacy redesigns have made the characters look infinitely better, minus arcee

[@kurorekku]

@@LemonConsumption neither did the bulk of G1 characters in the animation. You can redesign them in G1 style and still remain faithful. They were just lazy about the engineering and made him transform like 90% of the other sports car transformers from the main line in recent years.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

This new incarnation of TF: Prime Knockout for Legacy looks great. Sure his robot mode isn't accurate to the Prime show, but he still looks great, from a G1ified stand point. Like how Hasbro remolded SS86 Jazz for Knockout, especially when it comes to his car mode. It looks awesome. Looking forward to getting this Prime Universe Knockout for my legacy collection. And hope for more Prime Universe characters to appear in Legacy.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

The car mode is so nice! Probably one of the best from legacy so far!

[@thrusttheconehead5369]

Good with War for cybertron trilogy figures.

[@19TheFallen]

Out of all the characters in the _Transformers: Prime_ show, I found Knockout to be the most interesting.....His story arc reminds me quite a bit of Drift's, seeing as both are former Decepticons who came to question their loyalties and whether or not they were serving the right side before turning against them and becoming Autobots.

[@That0neRandomDino]

I actually agree with you..the chest DOES jut out a bit too much…I wish they made it so that the chest does split apart a bit and compress into the body. Other than that, it looks good!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yes definitely a little too chunky haha! Had they broken it up or something I think it would’ve looked neat

[@dryceraidfanficksyoutube]

@@PrimeVsPrime If in the chance, I wind up with this figure, this would NOT BE Prime Knock Out. Instead, this would be a fembot(i.e., once I'm done tinkering with it!) known as my ALIGNEDVERSE version of Circuit Breaker. F.Y.I., I just figured out something: BlueStreak(or any of the other Datsun 'bros'!), *WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER FIT FOR KNOCKOUT!* YET, another swing & a miss, since the Kingdom Cheetor mould could have also worked for AirRazor.......

[@Envisaged0ne]

Everyone asked for a more cartoon accurate version of Knockout. So what does Hasbro do? They release him as a slight remold of SS86 Jazz. Way to listen to the fans

[@brotquel1592]

Hasbro just don't care about Prime fans... they turned Bulkhead ito Kronk, they ruined Arcee and now G1 Jazz in red... worst part is: look at Beast Wars and Cybertron characters, they look great! Why not Prime?

[@DavidWilson-tr2qj]

I'm totally loving Knockout's alt mode!!! I usually buy my figures depending on the robot mode, but this car mode is awesome!!! I got Legacy Bulkhead because of his truck mode!!! I think I'm definitely getting Knockout as well!! Appreciate the review, Prime vs Prime!!!

[@UnknownSeekerProductions]

I’ve never really been a big fan of TFP, but these redesigns aren’t half bad. I would want to see a rerelease of SS 2007 Ironhide eventually, either in the Premium Finish line, or as a standard release of his DOTM counterpart, with the new guns Que made.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I think we will definitely see SS Ironhide again. Hopefully a DOTM release or like you said in the PR line

[@UnknownSeekerProductions]

@@PrimeVsPrime yes! Especially since his original figure is severely overpriced everywhere right now! And I will say, that premium finish ROTF Optimus definitely looks like an upgrade of his original SS counterpart.

[@poseidon2363]

Nah they are terrible. Knockout in particular is the worst

[@katiepersons6575]

I'm so salty we didn't get a PF SS Ironhide instead of that ugly dot matrix plastered Siege Megs that was already done better not once, but twice! (Once in netflix wave, again in the spoiler pack wave. )

[@cahillrebel]

@@poseidon2363 None of these redesigns are bad. Yes they don’t look exactly like the prime designs but I find these just loosely based on those designs. Bulkhead and Arcee are awesome when I got them. I didn’t even think I’d like them. Just consider them their own version of the character.

[@codaboi138]

Personally, I'm really on board with this G1 restyling of characters. I love the Prime designes, but War For Cybertron really made me fall in love with the G1 esq look. Some of my favourite characters are from Prime, especially Knock out, so being able to set him next to my other favourite characters from the original Show, like smoke screen and Jazz, it's just really cool. I think it's okay to have a more unified look for the transformers if some of us want that. But I'd never advocate that replacing all the unique styles many of the shows have given us.

[@sebfolgero]

Seeing that vehicle mode, I totally understand why they chose the jazz mold. The robot mold is slightly to g1ified, but that vehicle mode totally counters that.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

I wish they could have done the doors on the arms for Knockout. The arm doors and the back wheels would have been a treat if they'd have pulled it off. Car mode looks fire though, love that

[@DarkScorch]

This figure looks fantastic! The main reason the other universes of characters didn’t get as redesigned as these prime universe ones, is because they were already G1-esque. But prime was more of an anime styled Bayverse. Great review as always PvP

[@jdpragmatic8644]

“What can I say, I like the way I look in steel belted radials.”

[@ComradeBobcat39]

I hope somebody makes a upgrade kit that adds the arm doors and the wheels on the back and a new staff that would make this perfect in my mind

[@samurexatlas7373]

You do beg the question, why the design shift? So many other characters remained faithful, but Prime had to suffer? If they want bulky, RID 2015 should be good.

[@harpybeagle4931]

prime sold poorly and was a huge loss to hasbro at the time so theyre testing the consumer demand rn by reusing molds and trying to not go so deep keep in mind that tf prime was a very expensive project meant to usher in a whole hasbro universe with MASK and GI Joe and etc, but it didnt meet demands at ratings and viewership and is in hasbros eyes a riskier venture than anything theyve done b4

I think Hasbro going for a blockier look allows them to reuse the mold for other characters. I wouldn’t be surprised if see this more at least two more times. After seeing the vehicle mode, I see Wincharger and Tailgate repaints coming. That or an Omnibot or two. Overall he looks good and can’t wait to get my hands on it.

I like the paint and sculpt, just wish it was a voyager or a slightly bigger deluxe. Let's hope we get a prime wheeljack.

[@autobotzein4689]

I just hope that Hasbro begin to do a Transformers animated universe when they do a character name Wasp

[@optiTHOMAS]

This design is pretty cool! I do wish it was a little more faithful to the Transformers prime character design, but still pretty nice! Knockout was always a favorite of mine with his great personality, design, and absolutely aggressive and beautiful custom Aston Martin based car mode! Very fun character! Might get this guy! 😁👌🏻

[@CameronM1138]

The only thing I wish they'd done differently is given him new spikier shoulders, seeing as there is space there in alt mode for slightly pointier shoulders than what he has. Otherwise he's exactly what I was hoping for from a G1 Knockout.

[@Ryan4Media]

I love knockout as a character, so I can proudly say when this came out, I bought it, and now hes in my collection, being a proud Knockout and Shockwave fan.

[@thelastprime4978]

Totally agree with you as good as the figures are as much as I like them I just feel that they had a major missed opportunity or basing them directly off of the prime series but I do understand how hard it would be to recreate those designs but considering they did these designs before with the first edition line I’m sure a lot of people would have been happy if they just rereleased those figures cause they are so hard to find and go for ridiculously astronomical prices on the aftermarket

[@lesliepark728]

I like how he looks in steel belted radials

[@RunItsHades]

11:52 I could be wrong, but I believe the leaked listings suggested that Breakdown was going to be inspired by his Prime counterpart and not his G1 counterpart.

[@awesomusprime8611]

Hasbro clearly hates Prime fans. We can get all of the G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Unicron Trilogy stuff that we want but we can’t get any proper updates to the Prime designs? These are being marketed as the characters from the Prime universe but they are very clearly not. This is not only giving the middle finger to Prime fans, but it’s also false advertising. Why are so many people praising this crap? It’s just G1 fans more and more and Prime fans getting nothing, now we still don’t have a proper update to the Prime Knockout design.

[@DkunPete]

I really like what they did with this design. So far I lm loving that they are G1 ifying other universes lol. even if they are making us rebuy the same molds..Maybe they'll do a Go Bot Universe next.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

[@pixelgun4789]

Honestly, I am kinda fascinated with Hasbro experimenting with combining G1 and other series themes in Legacy. I mean, Skyquake looks sick and Arcee looks acceptable, especially if you catch her figure with discount.

[@uainjansun]

[@hotwheelsbrothers687]

I recently got transformers prime universe autobot Bulk head!

[@beanzilla9513]

So does this have the same clear plastic issues that jazz has

[@corey-cg01]

tbh they should've used the studio series hot rod. cause think about it, knockout in tfp- thin, wheels on back and in the feet, has a saw, drill and staff, and yes he has a car chest but instead of being pushed out its compressed in. studio series hot rod- thin, wheels in shoulder and lower legs, has a saw, matrix and two guns, has a foe chest and flip out glasses. all you'd have to change for studio series hot rod to be knockout would be make him red, redo the chest to make it look like the front of the car but split, redo the leg detail and the sides of the legs to make the wheels in the legs shown a bit more change the head to look like how it should, But keep the shades just make them like dark grey, recolor hot rod's saw, take away his guns and matrix for a drill or the staff legacy knockout has and get rid of the back fin(vehicle mode would have to be drastically different but i don't think it'd be too hard.)

[@Superb23]

Having RED and Legacy Knockout is an awesome display for TFP fans, like myself.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Awesome! Glad you like it!

[@brotquel1592]

4:46 sums up why I hate what Hasbro did with this toy... look at those designs and tell me they resemble each other! I dare you! Seriously, Hasbro didn't give a damn on any of the Prime characters. Worst part is: if they didn't advertise them specifically as the PRIME version of these character they wouldn't be as bad (aside for Arcee, that is just bad), this is false advertising! Just think about it: you are a fan of G1: Hasbro announces AFTER MANY YEARS a new, let's say, Wheeljack, specifically a G1 Wheelkack, and when it finally comes out... it's Prime Wheeljack! You feel betrayed, and rightfully so. Vehicle mode for KO? Great! Robot mode... just the head bares a resemblance with the og KO; it just needs a different expression, a cocky smirk would have been great, this face just looks so dead... especially the eyes. Where is the "back" for that lightpiping? It doesn't seem to work. I still don't understand why the back piece is in clear plastic! KO alt-mode is a car tuned for illegal races with black tinted windows, there is literally no reason for that clear plastic. Also, looking at the three NOTPrime characters, scale-wise, am I the only one who thinks that Arcee should have been a core class?

[@axelgrease69]

I like this figure! Its better than Legacy Arcee, but I still think Bulkhead is the best. Knockout and Bulkhead both have nice-looking robot modes and fantastic vehicle modes.

The way I see it, this is the G1 version of the characters, and thus I like it. I would hope in the future, Has/Tak will come up with a proper update of the Prime characters (same design, better technology) and we can get a better Knock Out Figure.

"One of the slimmest characters in the show" Laughs in TFPrime Soundwave

[@RenikkoEclipse]

I think this figure is giving me second thoughts on Legacy. I was all in for the whole "your favorite characters returning, and being reimagined!" Thing but this is just...sucky? I know people like the figure, and the rest of the redesigned characters but the only thing good about the figure in my opinion, is the vehicle mode. I think the worst part about the figure is the head. I'm sorry but that face is atrocious. This figure has me worried that they are going to do this to even more characters that have perfect designs.The only thing I've wanted for YEARS was a new good mainline armada Optimus, but now I'm afraid it's going to turn out like this. Again, I am aware people like or even love this figure, but I just think they are going in the wrong direction for this line.

[@olvacron22]

Definitely agree with you. So far Knockout is the best looking of the tfp characters, but if characters like laser prime, metropex, override, and even tarantulas are just straight up the original designs with modern engineering, why did the tfp characters get thrown into the g1 reimagining black hole

[@brooklynbud1138]

“Unified aesthetic”, which nobody wanted

[@mp2k1]

I feel like they could have used the SS Dino mold and re-tooled it a little and it'd have been a better figure

[@mp2k1]

The chest would have ended up much better and we might have been able to have the back wheel, other than in bot mode the figure is awesome

[@UnhingedJessie]

Not even the legacy redesigns can cramp Knockout's style too much.

[@sewing3049]

I might pick this guy up and just treat him like one of the stunticons. I think he might look pretty good with a g1 stunticons line up

[@Galavard06]

Again, the repaint/retool is better than the original, might pick him up.

[@gerardootero1149]

I honestly wished that Legacy Prime Knockout wasn’t a retool of Studio Series ‘86 Jazz. Knockout would’ve definitely benefited from having a unique mold for robot mode. That said, the vehicle mode was superb, a definite upgrade from his original Urbana alt mode from the original Prime toyline, as in Legacy, you can definitely see the real life vehicle inspiration that his appearance in Transformers Prime takes from. He’s definitely an Aston Martin, though I am stumped on whether it’s the One-77, the Vantage, the DBS Superleggera or the DB11.

[@lukebaldock4672]

I loved the prime show but I like the g1 style much more for these figures.

[@katiepersons6575]

I fear that Hasbro figured out that when you 100% nail the characters in figure form you basically have no where else to go as far as reselling those characters again. So doing something radically different like "Generations-ifying" Transformers Prime characters is the only way to justify making new molds of them.

[@brooklynbud1138]

They didn’t nail the old designs which, by the way, are well over 10 years old. That reasoning is dumb. I wanted accurate Prime characters, not phoned in pretools of G1 figures. Lame as hell

[@havocmagnuseditz9507]

What's the music name used in the begining of the video?

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

I'm actually pretty on board with this representation in Legacy. Only ever got the Beast Hunters Deluxe of the character during the Prime run and really kind of hated it. Felt really small and flimsy so even with the G1 inspired look I see this as a massive improvement. Transformation I feel is about as involved as it would ever need to be on a deluxe, and really nice to see the painted detail and color on the rims again. Definitely getting this one for the collection.
