'''Paradron Medics''' hail from the planet [[Paradron]] where a group of pacifist Autobots settled while trying to escape the Great War. As such, they are all likely cowardly peaceniks who'd sooner be shot in the face than defend themselves. They all share [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]'s [[body-type]] in a green deco, but without the shoulder-thingies. Each of them carries an [[energon infuser]] as part of their standard medical equipment.<ref>Paradron Medic "Heroes of Cybertron" tech-spec.</ref>

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
During an outer space battle with the Autobots, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] found themselves defeated and left unconscious on the hidden world of [[Paradron]]. There they were then taken in by a community of pacifist refugees from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Near the fountains flowing with [[energon]], the two Decepticons were nursed back to health by a pair of Paradron Medics. Upon regaining consciousness, Cyclonus and Scourge smacked the Medics in the face and tossed them to the side so that they could gorge themselves on energon. The Medics simply got up and left without saying a word. {{storylink|Fight or Flee}}

Following [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s beatdown by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], a Paradron Medic on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] patched him up and warned him not to strain himself. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

Nine million years ago, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and a medic tended to [[Dion]]'s injuries following [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]'s rampage. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}} At least two medics would later leave [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for Paradron with [[Landshark]] and [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

*'''Paradron Medic''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun

:Paradron Medic was to be a [[redeco]] of ''[[Binaltech]]'' [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] (herself a [[retool]] of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]/[[Overdrive]]). She was intended to be released simultaneously with Arcee, but she was apparently canceled without much fanfare.

:This mold was also used for [[Decepticharge]] and as the robot mode (sans head) of [[Legion]].

==Merchandise==
[[Image:Paradron medic PVC.JPG|thumb|right|150px|I've had the bullets in my gun medically coated for the fastest possible injection of life-saving medicine!]]
*'''Paradron Medic''' (Super Collection Figure, 2002)
: A [[redeco]] of the [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] PVC figure, Paradron Medic was a [[chase figure]]. It is easily distinguishable from its American counterpart by its filled-in Autobot symbol, but this is most likely a production error, as there are versions of the SCF Paradron Medic without the Autobot symbol filled in.<ref>[http://www.pbase.com/julienc/image/41831212 SCF Paradrom Medic image by Julian Chang]</ref>

*'''Paradron Medic''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)
: A recolor of the Arcee PVC. It is cast in translucent blue plastic, with the back of the helm and optics left unpainted to provide a [[light-piping]] effect.

*'''Paradron Medic''' (Palisade statue, 2004)

: A repaint of the earlier [[Palisades Toys|Palisades]] [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee statue]], inspired by a pin-up poster by [[Rob Armstrong]].<ref>[http://www.dreadforce.com/creators.html The creators list for Jaran Studios' ''Dread Force'' includes this information in Rob's profile.]</ref> The statue features looks-right-at-only-one-angle perspective and a face so flat you'd swear she'd flown into a window. It was limited to 300 pieces.

: The sculpt is based on the [[Studio OX]] character model, with its obnoxious shoulder-armor rig.

==Notes==
[[Image:En-toy_ArceeParadron.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Probably buddies with [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Chromia Minerva-Type]].]]
* The Paradron Medic inspired the limited-edition Japanese "Paradron-Type" [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]]. This toy was ''not'' a separate character, but just that series' Arcee with a different color scheme.
* The script of [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s [[Destined for Nothing|first ''Micromasters'' issue]] called for a Paradron Medic to be visible on the landscape of Paradron, but she wasn't.
