Dragging the other bot into the forest had worked in Knock Out's favor -- to an extent. But he still has to do some creative maneuvering to avoid the falling debris from Starscream's ill-shot missile, and things are getting a little too close for his comfort. And without the traction of the road, Knock Out isn't quite in his element with all these close calls. His alt mode might no longer be the most useful choice here.

He comes to a roaring halt with a spray of dirt and underbrush, narrowly avoiding T-boning a tree -- he transforms before he's even all the way stopped, the unmistakable metal sound of transformation ringing throughout the forest. Play time isn't quite over, but it's certainly time to shift gears.

"All right, buster, that's it," Knock Out snarls, raising his arm to fire a few bursts of energon at the other bot. "Now you're playing with fire!"
