- Universe Knockdown is a redeco of Classics Wideload, transforming into an "earth-mover" dump truck. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows him to connect to larger toys with compatible plugs; however, Knockdown's socket is on the top of his dump-bed, on a hinged piece that doesn't lock down attached to another hinged piece that doesn't lock down, making him incredibly awkward to Powerlinx with other toys.
- He was only available as part of a Kmart exclusive Mini-Con 12-pack, along with Backstop, Blight, Boltflash, Bodyblock, Brimstone, Cloudraker, Flatfoot, Heavytread, Makeshift, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.
- This mold was also used to make Refuser, Mighty Dozer, and Heavy-Liftor.

- Knockdown (Candy toy, 2010)
- In the UK, all twelve Mini-Cons from the original "Mini-Con Class 12 Pack" set were released in individual blind-packed bags with "energon fizzy jellies" candies, distributed by The Little Factory Ltd.
- This version of Knockdown is actually a new tooling with numerous tiny differences from the original, but is functionally the same toy. These changes include a thicker Mini-Con sigil print, altered production stamping (removing "Hasbro China" and "Takara" from them in favor of just "Hasbro"), smaller pin-heads on the steel connector pins, and generally less crisp molding.
