The 1987 Battle Force 2000 vehicles did not come with any figures, but each of the six Battle Force 2000 carded figures were assigned to a vehicle. Knockdown's file card listed him as the Sky-Sweeper Driver, so he's pictured above in the driver's seat and featured below.

Creator Commentary
Guy Cassaday discusses the initial concept for the Battle Force 2000, and how that evolved (or devolved) due to cost reductions. He also describes the six vehicles and their dual functionality.
The six 1987 Battle Force 2000 vehicles combine to form the Future Fortress, "the most indestructible stronghold in the world!”
