Alright I’m getting out of art block YIPPEE

May I request an interaction with tfa blitzwing (any face) and tfp knock out? You can come up with what they do/talk abt, I just wanna see my favs :D

This turned out more silly than I imagined but I like it UAEHAU.

I and had to do random because…he is my fave sorry not sorry guys I am a little freak. I think he would enjoy getting a touch-up from Knockout though.

I would like to introduce to the Transformers community my human OC, Leon.

Canon is irrelevant let me enjoy this.

The universe Leon is part of is mainly TFP, although I may or may not include stuff from other universes; in other words TFP universe mixed with others.

Lmk if you guys like and what I should add/change, I’m low on ideas.

Alani Bui is not my OC, she belongs to a friend.

Yes I used picrew for I cannot draw.

Things that would definitely happen in "comfy fugitives"=

KO and Fio end up sharing the same brain cells on several occasions, especially in moments where anger would otherwise dominate them (the most reasonable example being when an illegal drag racer tries to flirt with Fio and call Knockout's alternate form an outdated piece of junk; and they both agree that either they beat him or they drive him off a cliff; either way is a win-win).

One of the biggest problems on their journey, despite starting in Jasper, Nevada, to Holloway City in Oregon (theoretically quite close), is that MECH cuts off their path and often lengthens their escape routes; other times, Knockout realizes that there are still Autobots on Earth and deviates to lose their trail and unconsciously N' sometimes, Knockout ends up returning on their tracks.

For some reason, when Fio needs to buy something, Knockout gives her an exaggerated amount of money (obtained legally/illegally through racing and accumulated through racing)

He complains about the bad movie the other chose at a drive-in movie theater, but still pays attention to him.

Fio is a die-hard musical lover and would drive Knockout crazy more than once because of the songs; being a method to annoy him into doing what she wanted (the only musical he liked was "Heathers" and just because he likes the movie more).

Knockout returns the "favor" by threatening her with spoilers for horror movies that she never finished because she falls asleep halfway through (he tried this with his torture tools, but Fio wasn't fazed in the slightest, so he quickly dismissed the idea).

Fio once tried energon, causing KO to panic; and she only responded, "It tastes like a sprite!" minutes before she was poisoned by it

The first time Fio saw KO's holo-form, she told him straight to his face that the look was so ordinary and bland that it overshadowed the effort he'd put into in his alternate mode and his finish... and they lost a day of travel just to "design" a holographic appearance worthy of his chassis (and neither of them regrets it).

In moments of weakness, Knockout prevents Fio from leaving his interior until she's in a position to speak; for her part, Fio immediately notices when KO isn't well and asks him about various topics until she finds the one that's bothering him.

What horrifies Fio the most are the moments when she needs a check-up (thanks to the fact that she suffers from various phantom pains) and accidentally activates some strange quality of her "prosthetics" while KO is playing along as if nothing had happened (among them extendable arms, an energy cannon, the wheels on her legs, a deployable hammer, etc.)

The thing that surprised Fio the most about KO wasn't that he was a doctor, an evil doctor, or even a former war criminal… what surprised her the most was that he was married.

KO tries to contextualize Fio about many things about Cybertron, the Bots, the Cons or the Cybertronians in general… but Fio only understands them by comparing the situations with things from her world or situations she has seen in movies.

Unconsciously, Fio compares KO to a cat for better or worse.

TFP MINI STORY= comfy fugitives.

Well, one person voted to hear my vision of what Knockout would be like dealing with his own human teenager.

And out of respect for that vote, here it goes~

SUMARY=

20 years after the events of TFP, Knockout fled from the Autobots and returns to Earth hoping to end his existence with a strange feeling of being fed up with everything... unfortunately his pre-mortem plans are interrupted by a human military chase towards a test subject; a teenager with mechanical parts who asks him for help escaping home. KO is initially uninterested in helping until he recognizes that those chasing him were MECH and decides to intervene in the name of sabotaging them for "boredom" (everything they did related to Breakdown and Silas). The teenager, Fio ; more horrified by humans than by him, makes a deal: she is the daughter of a military man who had been chasing MECH for a long time, so in exchange for taking her home he can get whatever he wants as long as he is within his rank. KO accepts the deal on the condition that if the girl is lying, he will eliminate her in the most horrible way he can think of, the girl, without nerves, accepts the condition.

A journey filled with fights, disputes, sarcasm, crises, and imperfections, but in a strange way; a bond of sincerity and friendship develops between the ex-Con' and the girl.

About KO:

The former Decepticon doctor, despite betraying Starscream and being accepted by the Autobots, has proven more vulnerable than he expected, feeling it was so easy that he ended up overwhelmed and escaping to Earth at the first opportunity, hiding from them as much as possible; keeping his reasons for returning to Earth to himself. He's still a conceited and narcissistic jerk who, above all, hates scratches in his paint and will get angry and ready to pull out his buzzsaw. But in Fio's company, he begins to soften and become more sincere… trying to disguise it with sarcasm and arrogance; but at a point where the human knows when he's seriously bragging and when he's just doing it to protect himself.

Feeling he has nothing to lose and the reward Fio offered him, he agrees to take care of Fio until he can bring her home, thinking that "without a war, it's something Breakdown would definitely do."

About Fio:

Fiorella Ricci, or simply known as "Fio," was just an ordinary girl who had the misfortune of becoming MECH's biggest target when her father was a researcher and actively wanted to wipe out the group. She ended up being mutilated and having her body parts replaced with prosthetic prototypes made from fallen Cons and Bots. She has no clear sense of how much time she spent as a subject of experiments or even processed the pain of her Cybertronian parts… she doesn't care at all (or she tries to); she ended up so affected that her only thought is to stay away from anything related to MECH and just return home, regardless of the means or ally.

At first, she remains reserved with the bot, only giving vague clues about how to get to her city, but sooner or later she begins to have conversations, ramblings, and arguments with it to make the journey more pleasant.

I'm hooked on Transformers, I've rewatched TF PRIME and I love it… but… I have a problem with KnockOut.

Don't get me wrong; I love KO, I love his character, I love his design (this damn racer-car makes women fall in love and caused a bi/gay panic in men without a doubt), I love his villainous actions, I love his comedy and quotes… but I don't like how he joined the Autobot team in the end. As if the creators had become so attached to him that they didn't have the courage to give him a dead or captured ending.

When you read between the lines, they could have gotten to that same point by making a redemption arc.

so.

HEAR ME OUT PLEASE.

Are you still here?

Perfect!

I don't know if this is considered a character rewrite or a "whT IF"; and I'm not a professional writer, just someone who, thanks to a friend, recently got me hooked on the TF fandom and grew fond of this villain, but not enough to forgive the inconsistencies, so consider this a disclaimer of OOC stuff and a canonical character rewrite.

Thanks~

The things I would change are:

Knockout is presented from the start as something "too out of place" for the Decepticons. Of all the vehicles, and being from a faction where aerial vehicles stand out above all else, he chooses a land-based sports car. He often says and cites that he enjoys certain human activities, such as going to the movies or competing in underground races, and if they tolerate him, it's because he was the only medical personnel trained before Shockwave's arrival.

He loves that appearance so much that it's a necessity to maintain it in good condition. I don't know if it was an unconscious idea to emphasize it or if it was always intended to show that he didn't quite fit in with the Decepticons.

Nerf his lab skills=Make him make more mistakes in the lab and be reprimanded. Knockout is a doctor, not a scientist; And even if he could rival Ratchet's abilities, Ratchet had more capability because, in his disadvantaged position, he had to be more resourceful in taking a scientific approach. This is something KO couldn't match, even if he tried. Doing things like stealing information about artificial energon would give him an even bigger chance of victory. Also, even if he didn't receive physical punishment, he'd be terrified knowing that if he doesn't end up like Starscream, it's because he's still useful, but the day someone more capable arrives, he'll already know his fate.

Intentionally ending the rivalries on an unfinished note= I noticed that KO tried to create several rivalries against him that didn't go very far in the end (Bumblebee being a sports car, Ratchet being a doctor, Arcee for… some reason) but that were either cut short or didn't go very far. Okay, I know the most logical thing would be to give him a fixed one and forget about the rest… but… what if we make this point on purpose? And no matter how hard he tries to antagonize someone on the opposing side, he simply can't muster anything but respect for the Autobots? You know… like Bulkhead and Breakdown.

More human fascination= KO is a weirdo because he loves many things of human use and authorship; but it's so easy to imagine that before torturing Jack, he wants to extract more information about human culture or extend the conversation when he kidnaps Agent Fowler or June, that it's a plot that writes itself. Even imagine that, in what begins as manipulation, he befriends a teenager from Jesper to get him up to speed, and in the end, the teenager runs away in fear when he realizes he's a robotic alien. That would make him resent them but also create a need to know more about them. Something that would give him more negative points (and please, someone introduce him to Miko; these two would destroy the world if they wanted to).

Failed escape attempts (aka. Why did he help Starscream assassinate Megatron?)= Okay, I've already included the points where he doesn't quite fit in. Doesn't ends up hating the Autobots and he doesn't end up hating humans. What's his best bet? that while Megatron is offline he tries to manipulate Starscream to be able to leave the ranks and take advantage of any weak point so that they leave him alone... something that didn't end up happening but he was able to manage to get out of it, but at the same time feeling envious of Starscream's expulsion.

Breakdown= okay, let's talk about the conjunx... and how it's a [___] that they gave us absolutely nothing about their reaction to those events!! I'll deliberately ignore the series' clear censorship of calling them conjux → patners because we all know this. I could indicate Breakdown as the indirect trigger for Knockout's change of attitude as light mentions; as the resignation of remaining in the nemesis to risk changing sides after some thoughts from the episode "Operation: Breakdown" and other events lead Breakdown to doubt out loud whether it's still worth it to continue on the side of the cons' at that point. and that the facts surrounding his death and the theft of his body by Sylas are deliberately omitted towards him by order of Megatron to avoid deteriorating his work. and his empty reaction is due to a set of mixed feelings = anguish over his death, anger at what they did to him, anger because his own side lied to him, an uncontrollable desire to harm everyone and especially Silas... etc. He starts sabotaging, damaging, hurting or doing anything without his tracks being discovered by applying a "fragged me, fragged everyone!". In his lowest and cruelest moments he mutters things that perhaps Breakdown would like that... but he knows that's not true.

Alliance and union with the Autobots = After many things and thinking about running away, he prefers to give up, already fed up with all that, unlike Starscream. With less hostility but with all his sarcasm, he helps the Autobots and ends up becoming one even though he doesn't really want to (in fact, he would joke that he thought he would have at least a couple of groons in jail). For a moment he considers that it would be better to stay on Earth than return to Cybertron, claiming that he had unfinished business in the earth and that he could avoid jail if he revealed all the information that the Decepticons had that he knew. He doesn't feel he deserves the badge or to be called that; but since he's switched sides, at least he'll do it by opening his mouth as wide as possible to even the odds.

And that's all~

I know it's not much or the most refined ideas; but it's what occurred to me. I also didn't want to include Airachnid or any revenge against her because... it actually makes sense that he doesn't know it was her but rather Sylas all along.

And as a bonus, that strange habit of admiring something beautiful only to immediately destroy it would disappear.

Through thick and thin.
