[[File:RBA Medix.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]

'''Medix''' is the [[Rescue Bot]]s' Doc-Bot, ready to help out [[Autobot]]s and [[human]]s alike when they need medical help. A bot not for surprises and who works purely with logic may seem unable to work with the unpredictable, but he has been able to find himself a spot during all the works. Compared to his uncle [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], he is more reserved and less tempermental.

Sometimes he pals up with [[Sawyer Storm]].

[[File:SecretOfFlight Medix upside down.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hi, I’m Medix and welcome to Jackass!]]
Medix was among a batch of new recruits sent to the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]] to learn to be [[Rescue Bot]]s. Like the others, he treated [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]]'s addition to the team with skepticism, especially when Hot Shot screwed up a fire rescue training exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Medix and the other recruits were surprised when Hot Shot later turned up with two additional alternate modes, however when it turned out he could only pick one a day, and the jet mode he'd picked was useless for the cave rescue they were assigned, Medix and the others encouraged him to persevere and they completed the exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} After Hot Shot got some flight tutoring from [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], Medix ended up magnetically stuck to the other recruit's undercarriage so he could rescue some firefighters. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}

Following a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]], the recruits persuaded [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] to make new rescue tools for them all. Medix got new claws to allow him to cut through things, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, he and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder, and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and then shirked his duty in bot-sitting, the recruits were forced to hunt Chuck down through the streets of [[Milford]]. Medix later repaired Chuck using new parts created by [[Boulder]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Medix and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Medix in need of rescuing.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]
Medix and the other recruits were bugged when [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} Medix served as the victim in need of rescuing for an exercise, a role he threw himself into enthusiatically, though it took a while for the recruits to actually rescue him because Hot Shot and Wedge had trouble following Hoist's orders. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Medix found it difficult to complete a rescue simulation when a girder started glitching on them, however it later gave him any idea during a real rescue on a bridge, and he came up with an unorthodox plan that ended in success. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Medix provided three hours of footage of him discussing bandages. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Medix was bemused by the idea of surprising [[Cody Burns|Cody]] with an EMT certificate, and the other recruits ended up setting up a surprise rescue mission to demonstrate to Medix how great surprises were. He remained unconvinced. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

[[File:FiveIntoFour Medix vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]] visited the base, Medix spent some time instructing him in the fine art of bandaging. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Medix and Whirl acted as commentators for the building and Cube challenges they undertook. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} Medix and the other recruits had to round up a small rock alien that got loose in the academy. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Medix took part in the rescue of [[Dr Hart]] from a rogue iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

Whirl tried to get the other recruits into cheerleading, but it wasn't until they were able to employ the skills they were learning during a rescue that they were convinced it would be useful. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} After Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with smartphones, they ended up neglicating everything else, resulting in them screwing up a rescue exercise. Also Medix wanted to know why Wedge wasn't answering his texts (Wedge was addicted to a mobile game). {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a field trip to the museum in Milford, the other recruits helped Whirl apprehend a thief in the act of burgling the place. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

After the ''Sigma'' returned minus the teachers, the recruits were forced to try to pilot it to go to their rescue. Medix, naturally, was the first to think to consult the instruction manual, and they successfully rescued the teachers. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} During an undersea cleanup mission, Medix assumed a shark would assist them, but instead it trapped him in the side of a ship wreck, requiring the other recruits to rescue him. {{storylink|All at Sea}} With the teachers on another off-planet mission, the recruits were left to tidy up the Academy, and had to deal with Hoist's [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] when it went rogue. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}

[[File:HackAttack Medix gooped.jpg|thumb|right|260px|We believe "he slimed me" is the correct phrasing to use in this situation.]]
Heatwave suggested the recruits try their hand at teaching, which resulted in Medix first helping Hoist out by demonstrating a driving course, and Medix's own lesson going poorly when he handed out large books and told his pupils they had to work out what the exercise was. Their teachers later put what they'd learned to use during a real rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} When Hot Shot combined his video game with the car inspection sim Chase was having them complete, the recruits had to contend with giant hedgehogs which covered Medix in goop. {{storylink|Hack Attack}}

Realizing that the other recruits saw him as something of a stick in the mud, Medix asked Chase for help in developing his humor. Unfortunately he overcompensated which caused problems for the team on their next mission until the others got him to tone it down. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} The recruits were keen to be taught by new teacher [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but discovered Hoist was afraid of Dinobots. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} A trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]] hit a snag when a dinosaur escaped back through the GroundBridge, disabling it in the process so Grimlock and the recruits had to make their own way back to the academy. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} Chase assigned the recruits a stealth mission and Medix paired up with Wedge to hunt through Griffin Rock for Chuck. Unfortunately before they could find him, they were caught by Chase. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} During a series of search and rescue missions, Medix and the others were surprised to learn Hoist had cheated on one of the tests. {{storylink|All that Glitters}}

[[File:MonsterSavings Medix dead monster.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at Dig Fest while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} As Medix was unclear on the concept of advertising, when he saw a monster attacking a car dealership on [[television]] he assumed it was a real monster attack. His attempts to stop the attack resulted in him almost outing the recruits to the population of [[Milford]], until the rest of the team were able to mount a hasty coverup. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Medix and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}}

A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of Scraplets. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}} Medix and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Medix and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair.  {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}}

Medix's highly detailed instructions proved difficult for Hot Shot to follow while blindfolded, resulting in their team losing a trust exercise. When later they had to retrieve a submersible drone, Medix managed to tone his instructions down so the other recruits could successfully follow them. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Medix joined the hunt for some dogs when Hoist's new comms system turned out to annoy animals. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}

As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Medix and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} The remaining recruits decided to tune in to the final using the [[space bridge]] to boost the holo-emitter screen. Unfortunately this led to the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

At the start of year two, the recruits returned to the Academy to find they'd been given personal spaces and were to be put through a series of tests so [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] could assign them an appropriate mentor. Medix was assigned Blades. {{storylink|Back to School}} He and the other recruits got some new training simulations courtesy of Ratchet. {{Storylink|Mission Dinobot}}

===Rescue Bots===
[[Image:RBtoy-Medix.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I go in a category that's a homophone of my name.]]
*'''Medix the Doc-Bot''' (2012)

: Part of the fifth wave of the original ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Rescue Bots]]'' toyline, Medix transforms from ambulance to robot with a press of the flashers on his roof, automatically springing him into robot mode. (Though you'll have to stand him up yourself.) Medix comes packaged with a DVD of the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' episode "[[Under Pressure]]".

: The wave with Medix and [[Hoist (RB)#Rescue Bots|Hoist]] was originally a bit scarce on retail shelves (though it hit [[Target]] clearance in some places), and as such the two demanded some hefty prices on the secondary market. However, there must have been a warehouse find or something, as [[eBay]] sellers eventually started listing them in large numbers for roughly original retail.

: This figure was redecoed and given a new head to create the Amazon-exclusive [[Heatwave (RB)#Amazon|fire search and rescue vehicle version of Heatwave]].

[[File:RB-toy Medix-PH.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The regal flashing lights and royal horns, behold, the great one comes.]]
*'''Medix the Doc-Bot''' (2016)

: A brand-new mold in the smaller ''[[Playskool Heroes]]'' scale, Medix once again transforms into an ambulance in a single "Easy 2 Do Conversion". Robot-to-ambulance conversion is done by pushing his arms in, and ambulance-to-robot by pulling them out - as this typically doesn't fold the legs in all the way, pushing up on the cabin roof can solidify the transformation. In ambulance mode, his back-end roof has a [[5 mm post|5 mm post-hole]], nominally to mount the concurrent ''Rescue Bots'' [[Mini-Con]] partners in their rescue-tool modes. His fists also have 5mm post-holes, though their lack of posability makes holding the rescue tools... ''awkward''.

:He has an entirely new headsculpt that arguably matches the cartoon's general aesthetic better. It was redecoed and given a ''different'' head as [[#RBAAmbulance|''Rescue Bots Academy'' Medix]] to more closely match his appearance in that show.

*'''Medix the Doc-Bot''' (2019)

: The first toy of Medix under the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' brand, and in his new appearance for the cartoon, is sized similarly to the previous Megabots line, at about 11 inches tall. He transforms into a medical emergency car in a couple of "Easy 2 Do Conversion" steps. In bot mode, pressing a switch on his left arm slides out [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|a tool which]] [[Red Alert (Armada)|is in place]] [[Red Alert (Animated)|of his hand]]. He comes packaged in robot mode, enabling this gimmick to be tried in-store without removing him from the package. He shares engineering and a transformation pattern with the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar|Rescan car version of Bumblebee]] and [[Quickshadow#Rescue_Bots|Quickshadow]].

:First revealed at Toy Fair 2019<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/events/gallery.php?event_id=621 Seibertron.com - Toy Fair 2019: Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Photogallery]</ref>, this version of Medix is a redeco of [[#Rescan|his earlier ''Rescan'' figure]] with a new head and color scheme more consistent with his on-screen appearance in the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' show, effectively making his vehicle mode resemble his original toy once again.

:This version of Medix is a brand-new mold, transforming into a modified rock crawler. He shares engineering with the cement mixer Salvage and Wedge figures and the rock crawler Bumblebee/Hot Shot mold, though much like [[Brushfire]], he features a fake vehicle front on his chest.{{comingsoontoy}}

==Notes==
[[File:RB-art Medix-cardart.jpg|right|thumb|"What exactly are you standing on back there, Sawyer?"]]
* The [[package art]] for the first Medix toys shows him paired with Sawyer Storm. This was, of course, before the toyline shifted to better reflect the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|cartoon]].
* His ''Playskool Heroes'' packaging art is just a recolored version of his original toy's.
* [[:File:FamilyBusiness-Medix.jpg|An ambulance that looks a ''lot'' like]] the original Medix toy's alt-mode appears in the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' episode "[[Family Business]]".
* Medix is the only one of the original ''Rescue Bots'' characters to recieve a heavy overhaul on his appearances, getting ''3'' redesigns from his first toy's release to his first appearance in media. The others (excluding Hot Shot, Wedge and Whirl) remained closer to their source material. His [[:File:RescueBotsAcademyMedix.jpg|design]] in the original ''Rescue Bots Academy'' promotional art had antennae much like Optimus Prime's, which were removed on the final model.
