Red Alert (Animated)
| The name or term "Red Alert" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Red Alert (disambiguation). |
- Red Alert is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.
Some wish Red Alert'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's command.

Red Alert helped create the data merge that infused Decepticon flight technology into the rehabilitated bodies of Jetstorm and Jetfire. Rise of Safeguard
Later, she was seen alongside her fellow Autobots Ironhide, Brawn, Hot Shot, and Rodimus Prime near a Space Bridge node fighting Decepticons. Her services were called into action when Hot Shot was hit by 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. Hurled at Brawn and Ironhide, the resulting blast took all three out of commission. TransWarped
She apparently got better because she was later seen in a crowd welcoming Sentinel Prime and the captured Decepticons on Cybertron. Decepticon Air
Notes
- Red Alert was originally intended to be part of the core cast in the early development of Animated, but she was later replaced with Ratchet, what with that whole giant live-action movie thing having a Ratchet too.[1] Her 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.[2]
- Red Alert's body is an homage to the Unicron Trilogy Red Alert, specifically his Armada body.
