Chief among them is the fact that if a member is incapacitated, the Combiner cannot be formed while retaining its full strength. With protection of humans their top priority, the PROTECTOBOTS have brought new members into their ranks to avoid this. MEDIX is the ninth member of the team, following ROOK, HEATROCK, and SKYFEATHER. His specialty is stabilizing the wounded and otherwise simply keeping them functioning until they can get to the advanced care of AUTOBOT RATCHET or FIRST AID. He has an extremely dry sense of humor and can seem distant at times, but his job usually doesn't allow him the comradery that his teammates share on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>ABILITIES: MEDIX's primary job as a medic doesn't allow him the finesse of his medical colleagues, and his skills demonstrate this. He can work quickly and concisely to tie off bleeding Energon lines or jumpstart a fading spark, but the results are usually not pretty to look at. Anyone in dire enough straits to need MEDIX's help on the battlefield is probably not in a position to argue. As a member of the PROTECTOBOT team, he can form either an arm or leg of the super robot DEFENSOR. In his spare time, he is also attempting to learn about human medicine so that he can function as an Emergency Medical Technician if needed.<\/p>\n<p>WEAKNESSES: As he seldom is called upon to help form DEFENSOR, his integration into the Combiner mind is sometimes glitchy. Since his job often has him jump from patient to patient quickly to perform triage and treat dire injury, he sometimes ignores the situation around him, which can lead to his own injuries<\/p>\n<p>STRENGTH: 5<br \/>\nINTELLIGENCE: 7<br \/>\nSPEED: 7<br \/>\nENDURANCE: 5<br \/>\nRANK 5<br \/>\nCOURAGE: 9<br \/>\nFIREPOWER: 6<br \/>\nSKILL: 8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/toys.tfw2005.com\/ratchet-2016-47426\" target=tfw>via<\/a>)<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Titanium Bumblebee\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/11\/soon-forget-titanium-bumblebee\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Titanium Bumblebee<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - December '12\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/12\/flippin-through-previews-december-12\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - December '12<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"BotCon box set part 4 - Drag Strip review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/06\/botcon-box-set-part-4-drag-strip-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">BotCon box set part 4 - Drag Strip review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers BotBots Tricitrustops and Trisourtops reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/12\/transformers-botbots-tricitrustops-and-trisourtops-reviews\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers BotBots Tricitrustops and Trisourtops reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Once MOTU\/TMNT is done, they can move on to these\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2024\/09\/once-motu-tmnt-is-done-they-can-move-on-to-these\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Once MOTU\/TMNT is done, they can move on to these<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in today's review, here are the five robots attendees of BotCon 2016's Customizing Class could have made: &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Transformers BotBots Javasaurus Rex review Avengers vs. the Transformers If Hasbro wants to repaint that Oxcartimus Prime &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2025\/06\/transformers-medix-addendum\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,143,200,8],"tags":[475,14],"class_list":["post-44601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-addendums","category-botcon","category-customs","category-hasbro","tag-botcon-2016","tag-transformers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44601"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44604,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44601\/revisions\/44604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
