Fixit (G1)
| The name or term "Fixit" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Fixit (disambiguation). |
- Fixit is an Autobot Micromaster(usually) from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Fixit approaches life with a never-say-die, never-quit attitude. His unwillingness to give up on even the most hopeless of causes earned him the leadership of the Rescue Patrol, a position that came as something of a surprise to him. When then-leader Stakeout's overly-aggressive, rule-breaking methods had gotten the Patrol into trouble with Autobot command one too many times, Fixit took it upon himself to counsel his commander. Stakeout eventually ceded command to Fixit, realizing it was for the betterment of not just the Patrol, but for the Autobot army in general. It certainly helped his decision that Fixit is not only one of the best medical minds Cybertron has ever produced, but he's also quite handy with a laser rifle when the chips are down.[1]
Fiction
Marvel comics continuity
Fixit and the Rescue Patrol were one of the first Micromaster teams, and were part of a three-team mission to destroy the Battle Patrol so the Decepticons couldn't gain Micromaster technology. They disobeyed orders and rescued their comrades instead. A Small War!
When his comrade Seawatch was traumatised to the point of going offline after a grisly murder, Fixit was tasked to bring him back online to find out what happened. He did this reluctantly, worried about possible long-term effects. Demons!
He and his team-mates were sent to Earth alongside the Classic Pretenders as reinforcements, but their journey via Trans-time portal was disrupted by the Mayhem Attack Squad and they instead ended up at the center of Cybertron. Yesterday's Heroes! Here, they saw the face of Primus, witnessed a retelling of Cybertron's creation, and fought the Mayhems before arriving on Earth - but Primus had awakened and Unicron was coming... Primal Scream
He was part of a mission to capture Decepticon assassin Whisper, but Optimus called it off to prevent damage to the environment. The Greatest Gift of All!
Fixit later served as medical officer on the Ark in the absence of Ratchet and First Aid, and was tasked with repairing those injured by Thunderwing. He was instrumental in Chromedome's self-proclaimed "Leg Quest". Eye of the Storm
It was Fixit who carried out a diagnosis on the fused Ratchet-Megatron being, and despite his warning that to save Ratchet, he would also have to save Megatron, Fixit carried out the operation at Optimus Prime's insistence. The Pri¢e of Life!
He was last seen on Cybertron, listening as Primus revealed the origin of the Transformers. The Void! How he fares in the subsequent battle with Unicron isn't shown, but he is not seen again.
Dreamwave comics continuity
Fixit was one of several Micromasters who joined up with the Autobot cause after the Micros chose sides in the war. He was present in the Autobot barracks when Big Daddy and Sidetrack had their scuffle, and saw the Hot Rod Patrol walk out on the army. Destined for Nothing Later, in Little Iacon, Fixit had a ring-side seat to a brawl brewing between Trip-Up and Roller Force. On the sidelines, Fixit showed himself to be a little more naive than his fellow Micros: when he pointed out it was against the rules for Roller Force to have a weapon in the bar, the others just stared at him incredulously. The Gray Race
The point was driven home again a few hours later when Venom and his Decepticons attacked the Micromasters. Fixit was all, like, "Oh no! None of us are armed!", and the other Micros just laughed at him and drew out scrap-loads of weaponry from hidden places on their bodies. It didn't prove to be enough, however, and the Decepticons corraled the Micromasters together, demanding they choose sides then and there against the Autobots. When the Decepticon Micromaster known as Blaze Master tossed in his purple badge at these heavy-handed tactics, Barrage blasted the turncoat, and Fixit tended to his injuries. Recipe for Hate The Autobot Micromasters were taken back to Decepticon headquarters and imprisoned, but Groundshaker and the Hot Rod Patrol managed to break Fixit and his buddies out of the holding cells. After reaching the site of the latest battle between the guzzler factions, Fixit started triage work on the injured Autobots. Tragically, there were still casualties, including Sidetrack of the Battle Patrol. Victims of the Revolution
IDW comics continuity
Guzzle came to Fixit complaining about feeling "hollow", and was examined for any signs of Corrodia Gravis. When he failed to find anything, Fixit suggested it was more likely an emotional issue, one which Guzzle later recognized as mourning. Bullets Apparently not a Micromaster, he assisted the Protectobots on Cybertron after a massive explosion mysteriously went off. Stick Together
