TFA Breakdown and Knockout

Knockout was both really easy and really difficult (TFP Designs WILL be the death of me WHY ARE THEIR SO MANY MOVING PIECES) but I do love how he turned out. I'll probably shift his wheels back to his back next time though.

I don't say this kind of thing often, but I wish people would use the canonical design for TFA Breakdown, at least as a base for their designs.

Yeah, it's a recolor of Rodimus, but it's still fun to play with

Thinking about Knockout and Breakdown but like. TFA edition

[tf-animated-out-of-context]

One last round of trivia:

"The Stunti-Con Job" exists as both a comic and a BotCon script reading; the plots are the same, but the script reading added a subplot featuring Minerva, a medibot determined to meet Ratchet at all costs, who's somehow dragged Warpath along on her quest. (She does also appear in the comic version - see below.)

The script reading also featured a musical interlude - a duet sung by G1 and Animated Grimlocks. I don't think it went according to plan.

Like the story's title, the comic's original cover pays homage to the classic British comedy film "The Italian Job". (As do the picture captions on the relevant TFWiki page.)

Sideswipe and Breakdown share a body-type (first seen on Rodimus Prime) - possibly a callback to the G1 episode "Masquerade", in which that iteration of Sideswipe was disguised as Breakdown. (The same applies to Jazz and Dead End, and, more or less, to Optimus and the Motor Master.) In-universe, all the Stunticons underwent spark transplants into Autobot frames - except Toxitron, who's a clone of Optimus. Not a very successful one.

Cheetor, meanwhile, is a retool of Blurr - a fact Sideswipe remarks on four BotCons later, in "The Return of Blurr". which takes place at about the same time as "The Stunti-Con Job". Hence Blurr's appearance in the latter, in the High Council box alongside Cliffjumper - still cubified, and no doubt still talking twenty-four to the dozen.

Strika's Team Chaar, seen at the very end of this story, has undergone a reshuffle since "Transwarped" - Oil Slick is still there, unfortunately, but Cyclonus, Blackout and Spittor have been replaced by Mindwipe, Sky-Byte, Scalpel and Blot.

As for Autobot cameos, there are too many to list, but most of them are here:

(Botanica is also in this frame, but further up in the High Council box. TFWiki claims that Tap-Out is somewhere in the crowd; I can't see him, though.)

(TFA) KO breaking BD outta jail but none of the other Stunticons.

Breakdown doesn't know who he is and thinks it's some evil scheme. KO thinks he's being super romantic.

Help😭

I’m picturing this in my head lmfao

More Breakdown gifs have been made 🫡

[wonderwomanpleasesteponme]

More shit for my tfa future au!

F!Sentinel Prime: why is it whenever something happens it's always you three group of bots

F!Team Detroit: the universe has it out for us

F!Team Athenia: somehow we always end up at the wrong place at the wrong time

Alastor, her brother and their Decepticon friends: we... we have nothing say

Or alternatively

F!Sentinel Prime: why is it whenever something happens it's always you three?

Goldbug: the universe has it out for us.

Cheetor: somehow we always end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Windblade: I.. I have nothing to say.

Goldbug: people always ask me 'Goldbug how do you manage to control five younglings' the simple answer is that I don't, yesterday Trash called me into the recreation room only for Twitch to shoot me in the throat with a nerf gun.

TT!Team Detroit @ Cheetor:

Cyclonus after being changed from being Skywarp: if things go wrong please remember I've only been online for less than 10 vorns and cloned from a psychopathic liar.

Everyone whenever the time displaced Team Detroit says something tone deaf or borderline racist:

Trypticon looking up at the Nemesis: Milady I humbly ask you to step on me.

F!Soundwave looking at ads for sparkling supplies: I want one.

Alastor: why would you want stuff for babies?

F!Soundwave: I don't want the sparkling stuff I want a sparkling

Alastor: I hope this is not you asking me to have one with you because if you haven't noticed I'm organic-

F!Sentinel Prime: how did none of you hear what I just said!?

Cheetor: I've been zoned out for that past two and a half hours.

Goldbug: I got distracted halfway through.

Windblade: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

What would TFP Knockout be like if he was in TFA?

Why I'm so glad you ask. ~

I acutally sorta showed this in a "Ask tfa Starscream" drawing where someone asked who'd be a good second in command. I showed knockout in the background because I'm utterly obsessed with him.

Show casing him as being a friend Starscream hadn't seen in a while!

But! To make it clear. Knockout as far as personality i think would not change barley at all. Why change perfection?

His personality i think would fit well in the tfa universe. Though I've seen many ppl interput his design in a tfa style. And many I have liked !

As far as background i see him much like Lockdown in the sense he is neutral, Decpeticon leaning.

He is a back alley Doctor (lenses expired) and yes Rachet knows him. A sleek doctor bot who refused to come form to his medical vechole alt mode and had a much sportier look , who loved racing. And considering TFA cybertron is Functionalist. I'd say he was told to get out of Cybertron.

Decpeticons are more willing to work with him and vise verse. I'd think Starscream would find himself in position where he was doctor for hire here and there and got to know him. Aka KO didn't mind listening to Star rant about Megatron cause he's a drama whore.

I can see Star picking up his signal and being like "OOOO I know Excatly what to do~" girls reunion party let's go.

Cause I need these two dumbasses to scheme together. Please and thank you.

Hell id love to see a racing episode like the ine with Bumblebee and Blurr , with KO included. This KO would get under Bumblebee's frame so bad.

"What was that? float like a butterfly, Fumble like a Bee!? HA HA!"

lots of people know KO to be kinda a mad doctor. Mostly for taking parts and selling them around of patients who "passed and totally didn't die on the table". Megatron knows him, Swindle whos he's sold stuff to and Lockdown who he's given augments to.

He's made a good reputation for himself. As to why he's friends with Star alot of ppl don't know. They do get along well enough!

Rachet got some issues with him because he left during the war. But good deep dive into "ah rachet you fought a war and are still oppressed btws" i think they were going to touch on that in season 4 but it never happened.

Have a moment where like Lockdown he's being chased by the prime gang in a high speed chase.

After basically pit maneuvering him "Now come out you have no where eles to go! Stop"

"You got alot of nerve scratch my pain" //Transforms//, "Autobot" //the smuggest face you ever seen.

Que Rachets gasp , "Knockout?!"

"At your service~ looks to me like you'll need emergency surgery" //buzz saw hands//

Crys i love him.

Also Breakdown is there cause I refuse to serpate the husbands. And yes Breakdown is also pretty much the same. But he grew up in a engeron farm like BulkHead and they did know each other.

I mean Tracks is a flying car normally which leads me to.

Interesting TFA Tracks idea to note down. Since Breakdown is flight capable, maybe Knockout was an Autobot who ran off with Breakdown and still a car. They end up with Tracks, who is a car with wings.

The Decepticon babysitters have never known more fear than the day they were watching him thinking it wouldn't be a big deal with tiny car getting zoomies then they hear shhhnk and turn to find wings just suddenly there and now he's flying away.

The goddamn noise i made upon seeing this because oH YEAH YEAH HE WAS!

Is Tracks in tfa actually wait??

He is indeed in tfa

And, while he "might" not fly in tfa, his wings/doorwings are conspicuously not visible in his altmode... hmm...

Plus he's an extra meaning we can do whatever the fuck we want

Oh and since he "shares a body type with Road Rage" we can say she can do this too.

Ooooo yes yes yes. Kobd menace child Tracks. That had to be such a surprise, and i can fully imagine how that went down.
