#could be a lot of fun with nervy paranoid stunticon breakdown just snapping seemingly out of nowhere and ripping a guys eye out.

New fun (and pretty violent) kobd concept hauntin me.

Its not really a plot but I was reminded of breakdown losing an eye in prime, and I saw some fanart at some point where the situation was reversed and it was KO who was captured by mech, killed, desecrated by Cylas, etc. And I started thinking about Knockout being the one to the lose an eye and it started developing into this whole concept.

So, theres a battle and knockout and breakdown get caught up in it (can probably be any continuity or an au or whatever you feel like) and theres this particularly brutal bot on the battlefield (again can be whomever you please). Poor knockout winds up on the receiving end of them and winds up losing an optic in the process.

Breakdown gets him out of there but knockout is understandably upset about the injury. Worse yet, not only does he not have access to an optic that matches his eye color, but he doesn't have access to new optics at all.

And this can be for any reason. LIke its the war, the supplies are low, nobody is creating replacement optics, etc etc.

This bums him out for obvious reasons, but it also effects his medical skills as he has to adjust to his loss of vision. So things are incredibly hard on him for awhile.

Anyway a lot of time passes, Breakdown is off on missions, and who should he start running into again? Why, the bot who destroyed knockouts optic thats who.

I have no exact idea of what happens in between, but after weeks/months of being apart/breakdown being on active duty/off doing something else, he returns and tells knockout he has a surprise for him.

Its not an exact color match, and will likely need adjusting to match knockouts other eye but its a replacement optic! Knockout is naturally overjoyed. Even if the color clashes, it will make things much easier for him. Naturally he asks breakdown where he got it and he just responds that he received as a form of repayment.

Naturally cut back to the bot who hurt knockout and they are very obviously missing one of their optics.
