Medix


 * Medix is an Autobot Protectobot.



The newest member of the Protectobots, Medix is dedicated to his job as a first responder. A field medic in only the most basic sense of the word, his main goal on the battlefield is to keep his critically wounded patients online and stable until someone like Ratchet or First Aid can take a look at them. It's messy, sometimes ugly, work, which leaves Medix emotionally distant from the rest of the Autobots, and even his fellow Protectobots. Perhaps as a result of his grim line of work, he's cultivated a very dry sense of humor.

As a standby Protectobot, Medix can combine with his teammates into Defensor, replacing any teammate too injured to combine. That said, his inexperience with the combination process leaves Defensor glitchier than normal.

Timelines
With a growing number of combiners serving in the Autobot military, Autobot commanders recognized that the giants came with several drawbacks, chief among them their inability to function if a teammate was incapacitated. The Protectobots thus inducted Medix as the newest member of their team, joining Rook, Skyfeather, and Heatrock as backup teammates.
