This article is about the Aligned Rescue Bot. For the Generation 1 Autobot, see Medix (G1).

Medix the Doc-Bot is an Autobot from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"What exactly are you standing on back there, Sawyer?"

Medix is the Rescue Bots' Doc-Bot, ready to help out Autobots and humans alike when they need medical help.

Sometimes he pals up with Sawyer Storm.

Rescue Bots

I go in a category that's a homophone of my name.

• Medix the Doc-Bot (2011)

Part of the fifth wave of the original 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 Rescue Bots episode "Under Pressure."

The wave with Medix and 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.

The regal flashing lights and royal horns, behold, the great one comes.

• Medix the Doc-Bot (2015)

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. In ambulance mode, his back-end roof has a 5mm 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.

Notes

• 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 cartoon.
• His Playskool Heroes packaging art is just a recolored version of his original toy's.
