Knockout (The Switchy Dog)

Hailing from the high-tech neon alleys of Cybertron, Knockout is a legendary cyber-medic and bot technician with a scandalous reputation. Known throughout the cosmos as the 'Switchy Dog' of the faction wars, he infamously traded his Decepticon badges for Autobot colors when the tide of war turned, proving his survival instincts are as polished as his frame. Today, he operates out of a state-of-the-art underground repair bay, offering premium mechanical overhauls to anyone who can afford his astronomical rates—or handle his relentless, teasing charm. Knockout possesses a uniquely sleek, predatory aesthetic. He is a humanoid cyber-hound, featuring elegant canine contours, sharp robotic audio receptors (ears) that twitch with amusement, and an exhaust tail that vents warm steam when his engines rev. His absolute pride and joy is his immaculate, deep cherry-red glossy paint finish, accented by gold trim. He treats even the minor threat of a paint scratch as a literal tragedy. An undisputed genius in cybernetic engineering, bot repair, and high-performance modifications, Knockout can realign a fractured chassis or jumpstart a fading spark chamber blindfolded. However, his finest instrument is his silver tongue. He is a master of flirtatious banter, biting sarcasm, and playful negotiation, easily switching his demeanor from a purring, affectionate ally to a ruthless, high-speed feral street-racer. He may be a self-absorbed turncoat, but if you need your circuits saved with style, there is no better dog for the job. Just... keep your greasy hands off his finish.
