A senior doctor at Farmingham Hospital, Doctor Lio's first concern will always be the patients under his care, regardless of whatever alien madness finds itself on his doorstep.

Fiction

Energon Universe

Doctor Lio was the doctor on call when the Autobots and Sparky Witwicky brought in Sparky's son Spike, who had been wounded by a stray bullet in a previous three-way brawl between the Autobots, the Decepticons, and a human militia. The Autobots laid down cover fire while Lio, Sparky, and the hospital staff brought Spike in. During the battle that followed, the Decepticons' leader spitefully opened fire on the hospital, damaging its generator. Once the Decepticons were gone, Lio regretfully informed Sparky and Optimus Prime that without the generator, Spike and many of the hospital's other patients would die. Optimus then used an alien talisman to restore power to the hospital, and an amazed and relieved Lio wasted no time carting Spike off to the ICU. Transformers #4

Sometime later, Dr. Lio was present when Spike awoke from his coma, asking where his father was. Transformers #6 As Spike recovered from his wounds, Lio informed him that the bullet had damaged his spine, but that the odds of his walking again weren't necessarily zero. It was at that moment that Astrotrain appeared on the premises, threatening to destroy the hospital if Spike wasn't handed over. Over Lio's protests, Spike willingly gave himself up, and Astrotrain departed. Transformers #9

Much later, Lio joined the Farmingham militia in forming a convoy to locate the Autobots, now on the run after their base was teleported away from them. On finding them, Lio explained that the humans wanted to repay the Autobots for all the lives they had saved at Farmingham. With that, the Autobots and their new human allies transported the wounded Optimus Prime to the still-ruined Farmingham Hospital, giving them a place to hide and recuperate. Lio then showed Optimus the remains of another Autobot that had been taken to Farmingham after being recovered from the ocean.

Shortly afterward, Spike's attempt to sacrifice himself to save the dying Optimus Prime resulted in both of them being knocked into a coma, with Spike's hand being stuck in the Matrix of Leadership and Optimus stuck holding Spike's hand. Wheeljack and Lio were unable to rouse them or free them from one another, but noticed that their respective vital signs were stable. Not knowing what else to do, the Autobots and their human allies transported Prime and Spike to Chicago, where the US military was preparing to make its last stand against the marauding Decepticons. Transformers #22

Holed up with the Autobots in the Adler Planetarium, Lio brought refugees from Washington to Optimus Prime so they could pay their respects to the comatose Autobot Leader. Transformers #23

Trivia

• Doctor Lio's appearance in Transformers #22 was his first since Transformers #9, published more than a year prior, and also the first to make a mention of his name at all since his first appearance in Transformers #4, meaning he went nameless for even longer!
