The tiny '''Scalpel''', also known as "the '''Doctor'''", looks harmless enough with his big, inquisitive eyes. But beware—in the world of the Transformers, things are not what they seem! Scalpel has vast databases of anatomical and mechanical knowledge, being familiar with most species in the galaxy. He's extremely adept at getting to the root of a problem and can handily disassemble most technological devices... or life-forms. Unfortunately, when he goes to put them back together, he always has a few parts left over. This has left most of the Decepticons reluctant to come to him for care, in spite of his duties as their field medic.

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
:''Voice actor'': [[John Di Crosta]] (English), [[Naoki Tatsuta]] (Japanese), [[Santiago Ziesmer]] (German), [[Fabrizio Mazzotta]] (Italian)

Scalpel was transported to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Long Haul (ROTF)|four]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|of]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|the]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]]. Once the Decepticons reached the sea floor, Scalpel was released to assess the extent of the damage done to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After a cursory examination, Scalpel concluded that they would need spare parts, and ordered the death of the [[Ze little one|smallest]] Constructicon. Once he had the "donated" parts and the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] shard stolen by Ravage, he rebuilt Megatron into a more powerful—and very much alive—form.

Later, at a factory in the same city as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s university, Megatron ordered Scalpel to examine Sam, in hopes of finding out what he had learned from the All Spark information downloaded into his brain. Using several ''extremely'' invasive techniques, Scalpel deduced that Sam's mind was definitely full of handy-dandy information. And the best way to get said information was to examine Sam's brain...while it was laid out on the table. Scalpel's attempt was interrupted by the timely arrival of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]].

{{note|Though the movie itself does not show Scalpel's fate, [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|the novel]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation issue 2|comic adaptations]] show him being blasted to scrap by Optimus Prime.}}

*'''Scalpel''' (Scout, 2009)

:Scalpel transforms from a dissecting microscope to a creepy, almost cute insectoid robot with detachable "glasses". He has six insectoid legs that crack very easily and will pop off if you look at them funny, and two adorable transcluscent 'arms'. His microscope mode is slightly different from the one featured in the movie. He is ''seriously'' mis-transformed in-package, presumably because there was no other way he was going to fit on the card otherwise.

:A running change has given later versions shorter antennae which fold away better during transformation. It's not clear which version is more common or whether the running change has spread to markets outside the US.

==Trivia==
*The combination of Germanic accent, monocle-like eyes and murderous personality all give Scalpel the air of a Nazi-scientist stereotype, not unlike a [http://reboot.wikia.com/wiki/Herr_Doktor certain other doctor] before him.

*In the Movie itself and the novelization he is simply called "the Doctor". He goes unnamed in the comic adaptation.

*While his toy is grossly out of scale as a microscope usable by a ''human'' character, it's perfectly sized for Voyager and Leader class figures to use.

*The only reason his toy has pop-off glasses is because [[Hisashi Yuki]] thinks it's funny.

*In the [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|second issue of the movie adaptation]], Scalpel suddenly has mouth, complete with teeth. And he looks really weird because of it.
