Paradron Medic
- The Paradron Medics are Autobots from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Paradron Medics hail from the planet Paradron where a group of pacifist Autobots settled while trying to escape the Great War. As such, they are all likely cowardly peaceniks who'd sooner be shot in the face than defend themselves. They all share Arcee's body-type in a green deco, but without the shoulder-thingies. Each of them carries an energon infuser as part of their standard medical equipment.[1]
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon continuity
The Transformers cartoon
During an outer space battle with the Autobots, Cyclonus and Scourge found themselves defeated and left unconscious on the hidden world of Paradron. There they were then taken in by a community of pacifist refugees from Cybertron. Near the fountains flowing with energon, the two Decepticons were nursed back to health by a pair of Paradron Medics. Upon regaining consciousness, Cyclonus and Scourge smacked the Medics in the face and tossed them to the side so that they could gorge themselves on energon. The Medics simply got up and left without saying a word. Fight or Flee

Toys
Binaltech
- Paradron Medic (2008)
- Accessories: Engine/gun
- Paradron Medic was to be a redeco of Binaltech Arcee (herself a retool of Windcharger/Overdrive). She was intended to be released simultaneously with Arcee, but she was apparently canceled without much fanfare.
- This mold was also used for Decepticharge and as the robot mode (sans head) of Legion.

Merchandise
- Paradron Nurse (Super Collection Figure, 2002)
- A redeco of the Arcee PVC figure, Paradron Medic was a chase figure. It is easily distinguishable from its American counterpart by its filled-in Autobot symbol, but this is most likely a production error, as there are versions of the SCF Paradron Medic without the Autobot symbol filled in.[2]
- Paradron Medic (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)
- A recolor of the Arcee PVC. It is cast in translucent blue plastic, with the back of the helm and optics left unpainted to provide a light-piping effect.
- Paradron Medic (Palisade statue, 2004)
- A repaint of the earlier Palisades Arcee statue, inspired by a pin-up poster by Rob Armstrong.[3] The statue features looks-right-at-only-one-angle perspective and a face so flat you'd swear she'd flown into a window. It was limited to 300 pieces.
- The sculpt is based on the Studio OX character model, with its obnoxious shoulder-armor rig.
Notes
- The Paradron Medic inspired the limited-edition Japanese "Ariel Paradron-Type" redeco of Energon Arcee. This toy was not a separate character, but just that series' Arcee (named "Ariel" in Japan) with a different color scheme.
- The script of Dreamwave's first Micromasters issue called for a Paradron Medic to be visible on the landscape of Paradron, but she wasn't.
- While the Kreon Paradron Medic's helmet is based upon the Ironhide helmet, it is smaller and more curved to better match her counterpart's head. As only one appeared in the comic so far, it is unclear if there are other Paradron Medics, or if this one is a single character in her own right.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Paradron no kangoshi (パラドロンの看護師, "Paradron nurse")
