Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Born on Caminus, she was in a sorority on with Nautica and Firestar. She was never very good at her exams The Sensuous Frame and worse still, Camien culture's focus on the performing arts as worthy left Velocity believing that her medical studies weren't as worthwhile. The Frail Gaze
Having finally passed her exams (it took ten goes!), Velocity was with Firestar and many of her former classmates The Sensuous Frame on a search for Windblade when their pilot, Vertex, died at the ship controls after they visited the planet Marasma. Luckily they were rescued by the Vis Vitalis and fell into the heroic Thunderclash's crew. The Frail Gaze She served as an extra medic but after a passing doctor fixed his spark, he abruptly took a turn for the worse.
Rather than attend the dying Thunderclash's pre-wake dance party, Velocity stayed in Thunderclash's med-bay, bringing First Aid and Minimus Ambus up to date with what had happened to Thunderclash since she joined up; the leader's ever-failing health, and his single-minded devotion to carving a map to Cyberutopia into the nearby wall. First Aid soon discovered that Thunderclash shouldn't be dying, as his war wound, the thing that was supposed to be killing him, was healed... he was dying from something else, something unknown. When pressed for information on who fixed the damage to Thunderclash's spark, Velocity was unable to describe the passing medic to performed the miracle, able to only come up with "she was normal" despite her best efforts.
The group then realized that Thunderclash was manipulating the readouts of the medical machines to send a warning to the crew. Before they could make sense of it, a knock from Thunderclash's trailer interrupted them The Sensuous Frame and they were besieged by monsters! Only a revived Thunderclash allowed them to escape and take refuge with some others... including Nautica, who congratulated "Lotty" on passing her exams. She helped Nightbeat identify their opponents as personality ticks and how to stop them, only for the things to burst in and overrun them... but don't worry, some other dude sorted it. Afterwards, Firestar successfully encouraged Velocity to join the Lost Light instead of returning home: to "help Nautica" but really to give her a place to properly work on her medical skills. The Frail Gaze
She had only just unpacked when First Aid had to leave, following orders from Optimus Prime. However, his leaving was interrupted when Skids burst in carrying a wounded Swerve. The two of them diagnosed his various problems but Swerve was too weak to operate on without knowing the exact cause of the illnesses. This meant the rest of the crew had to project their Holomatter avatars down to the enormous planet he was projecting.
After he had been found and diagnosed with a shoulder infection, she operated on him and saved his life, the first time she had ever done that to somebody. While he was flying away, First Aid realised something important and ordered her to operate on Swerve's shoulder again, where she found a mysterious bullet... The One Where They Go to Earth
