Like his teammates on the [[Emergency Mini-Con Team]], '''Makeshift''' throws himself wholeheartedly into his search-and-rescue operations. However, unlike his somewhat emotionally-needy ally [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]], Makeshift seems completely selfless in his duty, not even seeking verbal praise for his works. When he's not helping people, he's learning more methods of helping people... be those people mechanical or organic.

Though he's not much for battle, he's seemingly indispensable on the battlefield, thanks not only to his ability to tend to the injured quickly and competently, but because of his sharp mind and improvisational skills in a tight spot. If Makeshift has a fault, it's that his desire to save seems to extend even to his enemies; he will only fight in self-defense, and even then he'd rather scare attackers away without hurting them.

In the [[Universe war]], Makeshift (or an alternate-universe version of him) is partnered with the [[Autobot]] [[Whirl (Universe)|Whirl]] and fellow Mini-Con [[Gunbarrel (Armada)|Gunbarrel]].

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
Makeshift is one of the many Mini-Cons who gathered on [[Earth]] in preparation for the trip back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the battle with the chaos-bringer [[Unicron]]. Presumably, he joined [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] at the [[Loop]], where the Mini-Cons channeled their energies through the [[Mini-Con Matrix]] and dealt the fatal blow to Unicron. {{storylink|The End}}

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Emergency Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MM-20'''

: Makeshift transforms into a twin-rotor helicopter similar to an Osprey. He has a third "weapon mode" transformation, becoming a double gatling-cannon. He was only available with his teammates [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]] and [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]].

: Late in the [[Armada (toyline)|''Armada'' toyline]], the Team was [[Redeco|redecoed]]. Makeshift got a predominantly blue color scheme in this release, the only one of the set to not have an apparent G1 homage deco. (Though he does kind of dimly resemble [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]].)

: This mold was also used to make [[Impulsor]], [[Rotor]] and [[Scythe]], and slightly [[retool]]ed to make [[Bulge]].

*'''Emergency Micron X-Dimension''' (Basic, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MM-21'''

: A low-run regular-retail "[[X-Dimension Mini-Cons|X-Dimension]]" redeco of the Emergency Team was made available in Japan, with "Twist" now colored black and orange. This was the final set of X-Dimension Mini-Cons released.

: This toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Holepunch (SG)|Holepunch]].

*'''Autobot Whirl with Makeshift & Gunbarrel''' (Ultra, 2004)

: Makeshift was redecoed for the [[Universe (2003 toyline)|''Universe'' series]], in a scheme very similar to Impulsor, but darker and less saturated. He was only available as part of an Ultra-sized multi-pack along with [[Whirl (Universe)|Whirl]] and [[Gunbarrel (Armada)|Gunbarrel]].

: This toy was later repurposed as ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Skysickle]].
