Fixit (RID)
| 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 Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Left in charge of the prison ship Alchemor for who-knows-how-long, Fixit has a few tires truce- pliers moose- wires loose. A long time in isolation has left him with a bit of a motor-mouth and real lack of social skills, as well as a habit of getting words wrong or getting locked in a verbal loop. He's also naïve, and a bit of a coward as he has virtually no combat skills, but despite all that he's energetic and willing to do what he can in order to help Bumblebee and his team re-capture the escaped Decepticon prisoners left under his care.
Luckily, his scatterbrained nature hasn't affected his technical skills too much. His arms are capable of transforming into a multitude of tools, allowing him to tackle just about any repair job the Autobots might need.

On Cybertron, Fixit was an avid sports fan, with a particular fondness for gladiatorial combat. His favorite competitor was the hulking gladiator Groundpounder. Fixit was eventually assigned to the maximum-security prison ship Alchemor, which contained some of Cybertron's most dangerous Decepticon war criminals. Pilot (Part 1) As the only conscious member of the ship, he spent most of his time doing nothing, More than Meets the Eye and relied on his various built-in weapons systems to keep the inmates under control in the event of a prison break. The Trouble with Fixit
Unfortunately, Megatronus caused the ship to crash on Earth. Lockout Fixit sustained major damage in the crash, leaving him with his verbal tic, major gaps in his memory, and an inability to access his weapons systems. The Trouble with Fixit The crash also deactivated most of the stasis cells intended to keep its inmates under control. Fixit struggled to reactivate the ship while trying to reestablish contact with Cybertron. He was eventually found by Bumblebee and Strongarm, who had arrived on the planet in response to a vision from Optimus Prime. Fixit briefed them on the Alchemor and its cargo until the ship's tracking system eventually rebooted, and the pair went to investigate a nearby signal. The Autobots encountered Underbite, and ended up having a fight in the wreck of the Alchemor while Fixit tried to take cover with Russell. Pilot (Part 1) While the others pursued Underbite, Fixit failed to make friends with Sideswipe, and continued with his repair work. He was able to get a stasis cell back online and scrounge up some capture tools which he supplied to the rest of the team. After Underbite's defeat, he and the other Autobots moved their equipment to Denny Clay's scrapyard. Pilot (Part 2)
Fixit succeeded in detecting some nearby fugitive signals, and also in receiving a human distress signal. Trust Exercises After hearing tales of the Autobot's fight against Bisk, Fixit wished to be able to go out on a field mission, though it was against regulations. He got his chance when Chop Shop attempted to steal liquid oxygen from a manufacturing plant, accompanying Denny while disguised as a human as they searched the plant for the Decepticon. Unfortunately Fixit found himself captured by Chop Shop and forced to act as the combiner's right arm, and to his alarm, he was used to batter his own friends. He finally managed to fight back, allowing the Autobots to capture Chop Shop. More than Meets the Eye
Fixit undermined the sobriety of Bumblebee's presentation of stasis pod locations by pointing out they resembled Megatron. After the team was sent to the Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences, he was able to fill them in on the Buffaloid Terrashock. W.W.O.D.? Sideswipe took advantage of Fixit's gullibility in order to skive off. He was later able to identify a Decepticon Hunter Strongarm managed to find, and also work out that Thunderhoof was working in the area. As the Kospego Commands! While trying to monitor the capture of Filch, Fixit managed to record himself on Larry LaRue's camera in the process of trying to work out how it induced stellar fusion. Collect 'Em All
Fixit rigged up a proximity alarm for the scrapyard. After Grimlock turned on the others and demolished them, including Fixit, Russell and Fixit discovered that Grimlock was being controlled by the cyber-tick Minitron. Fixit repaired the comms system so that they could warn the other Autobots. True Colors Denny began clashing with Fixit over the former's participation in the repair of the Cybertronian weapons they'd found, leading to an all-out feud between pair until Russell succeeded in getting them to work together. Rumble in the Jungle

When Fracture turned up looking to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Fixit helped Russell attempt to bluff the Decepticon with a video game.

Even Robots Have Nightmares

After a major malfunction left Fixit stationary and repeating the word "escape", the other Autobots insisted he get repairs. Fixit asked Denny to perform a diagnostic, however Fixit's original guard programming reactivated during the procedure.

The escape of Chop Shop turned his attention from his friends long enough for Denny to deactivate him and restore him to his regular self. The Trouble with Fixit
Fixit picked up a Decepticon signal from outside the scrapyard, which belonged to Kickback. Unfortunately, Kickback was bait for the other Autobots, and while the other Autobots were out Steeljaw and his gang broke into the scrapyard, intending to free their Decepticon brethren. Pressganged into following Steeljaw's orders, Fixit managed to stall long enough for the Clays to rig up a distraction.

Fixit tried to help Russel spy on Denny's attempt to build a new trailer for his son. He later called up information on the Decepticon thug Scowl to assure Grimlock that Scowl had no intention of changing his ways.

Similarly Different The Autobots met Windblade, another Autobot on a mission of her own. She won over Fixit by complimenting his knowledge and technical expertise, and helped him to pinpoint a concealed Decepticon signal. When the other Autobots set out to recapture Zizza, Fixit recounted Zizza's rap sheet, and helped to redirect air traffic away from the fight. The Buzz on Windblade
After the Autobots decided to take a vacation of their own, Fixit helped by GroundBridging them to a random location on Earth. This turned out to be an active volcano, which wasn't as pleasant as he had hoped. Fixit tried again and sent them to scenic Edmondville. He later helped fill them in on Pseudo, who was also hiding out in the town, and opened a GroundBridge home after Pseudo had been captured. Ghosts and Impostors
