>>8807033Trading out other Knockout's smirk for this grimace lends itself to headcanons and imagination, I think.
Somehow the windows on the arms feels even more restrictive than before even though they are exactly the same.
Chained weapons are something very few Transformers are privileged to, especially one as weird as this. So it really is the statement piece of the toy.
Functionally he's exactly the same as regular Knockout just with a very very different flavour.
