Comics
Dreamwave Productions

IDW Publishing
Knockout appears in the IDW Publishing The Transformers: Drift - Empire of Stone mini-series. In these stories he is not a Micromaster.
Having fallen in with Gigatron's forces, Knockout grew disillusioned and had a mind to desert after watching them kill fellow Decepticons. Once Gigatron captured his old buddy Grit, he decided enough was enough and released Grit and his cellmates Drift and Ratchet and gave them their weapons back (their attempt at the old "pretend to be dead to trick to guard into coming in" failed to impress him). Grit then had Knockout go find a way off-planet while he went to take revenge on Hellbat.
