Some wish '''Red Alert'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s bedside manner were as delicate as her surgical abilities. However, the enviable level of her skill more than compensates for her gruff demeanor. She's replaced her left hand with an apparatus that can scan patients and emit various hard-light surgical tools.  She serves as a field medic under [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]]'s command.

''Red Alert helped create the data merge that infused [[Decepticon]] flight technology into the rehabilitated bodies of [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] and [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]]. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}

Later, she was seen alongside her fellow Autobots [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], [[Brawn (Animated)|Brawn]], [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]], and [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]] near a Space Bridge node fighting Decepticons.  Her services were called into action when Hot Shot was hit by [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]]—his leg was badly damaged and she told him it would have to be amputated, despite his protests. Her bedside manner didn't help when she told Hot Shot that a new one would be delivered in six to eight deca-cycles. Before the leg could be amputated, she was captured, swallowed, coated in explosive goo, and spit back out by [[Spittor (Animated)|Spittor]]. Hurled at Brawn and Ironhide, the resulting blast took all three out of commission.  {{storylink|TransWarped}}

She apparently got better because she was later seen in a crowd cheering for [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] when he paraded his captured Decepticons on Cybertron. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}} Later still, she was also seen cheering for [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew when they returned to the planet after finally defeating [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

==Notes==
* Red Alert was originally intended to be part of the core cast in the early development of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]''. For reasons unknown, her character was later changed to be male. For reasons known, what with that whole [[Transformers (2007)|giant live-action movie thing]] [[Ratchet (Movie)|having an Autobot medic too]], he was replaced with [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] in the end.<ref>http://tformers.com/transformers-interview-transformers-animated/8992/news.html</ref> Female Red Alert's final design was based in part on a preliminary design by [[Eric Canete]] from that phase of development, as was the choice of her gender.<ref>https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21975298&postID=1516366009698858110</ref>

* Red Alert's body is an [[homage]] to the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], specifically his ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' body.
