The Red Cross is a charitable organization.
Fiction
Marvel Generation 1 comics
When Optimus Prime, realizing the machinations of an unknown faction, ordered a retreat from a battle with Scorponok's Decepticons. Hot Rod sarcastically noted that the Decepticons didn't look like they were there to collect for the Red Cross. All the Familiar Faces!
Notes
- The original Ratchet, Minerva and Sireen toys all sport the "red cross on white backdrop" logo that belongs to the Red Cross organization. This logo is trademarked by the organization, who enforces the use of its marks heavily these days. Modern Transformers toys can no longer sport the logo, as it could be considered an abuse of the symbol's meaning. (The red cross symbol was in fact incorrectly used on all of the aforementioned toys to begin with, since the symbol represents a humanitarian organization that normally doesn't operate regular urban ambulances.) Following a short time in which Ratchet sported a Pacman-ized version of the logo, Hasbro typically uses "electrocardiogram" graphics as a substitute these days, which is usually also reflected in fiction. The occasional flub still slips through, though.
