Encyclopedia
First Aid is the name of several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes
.
.
First Aid first appeared in the U.S. Transformers television series in episode 63, "The Revenge of Bruticus" with no explanation as to where he or the other Protectobots came from.
After the death of Ratchet
in The Transformers: The Movie
, First Aid became the Autobots' chief physician.
His most prominent role was in episode #85, The Ultimate Weapon. In that episode, First Aid returned to Metroplex after fellow Protectobot Blades
was shot down by the Decepticons. Since First Aid was the only Autobot inside Metroplex
at the time, the Combaticon Swindle
infiltrated Metroplex to steal his transformation cog. First Aid attempted to stop him, but was unsuccessful. Feeling guilty about his inability to stop Swindle, he resigned from the Autobots and went into seclusion. Meanwhile, the Decepticons used Metroplex's cog to revive Trypticon
. To prevent the Decepticons from gaining the advantage, the Autobots managed to steal Trypticon
's cog for Metroplex. However, due to the incompatibility of the cogs, both robots began to experience major glitches as they fought. Hot Spot had no choice but to track First Aid down and try to convince him to rejoin the Autobots. Being the only Autobot to understand Metroplex's systems, he agreed and returned to repair Metroplex. This allowed Metroplex to defeat Trypticon yet again, and First Aid rejoined the Autobots with renewed confidence.
He is also credited with rescuing scientist Jessica Morgan, who was severely injured by the Decepticons in The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1. He was able to construct a biomechanical brace that allowed the paralyzed Jessica to walk again. Jessica's father, Dr. Mark Morgan, became enraged by his daughter's mechanical legs and decided to seek revenge on the Autobots by using the hate plague spores against them.
First Aid's last appearance was in The Rebirth, Part 3.
First Aid appears in episode #27 of the Japanese Headmasters series, called "The Miracle Warriors - The Targetmasters (Part 1)." Spike orders the Protectabots, Technobots and Trainbots to destroy the abandoned Decepticon headquarters on Earth. Combined into Defensor, Computron and Raiden the Autobots quickly demolish the building.
In issue #2 of the third Generation One series, titled "Black Sunshine", the Protectabots were ordered by Prowl
to investigate the energy anomaly created by Sunstorm
escaping Shockwave
's abandoned secret lab. When they arrived they discovered the hole left in the roof by Sunstorm and the deactivated Battlechargers Runabout
and Runamuck. Streetwise
reported back to Prowl as First Aid repaired the Decepticons.

Sireen turns into an ambulance. As his appearance suggests, Sireen is a doctor who conducts the Cybertrons' health care and medical treatment. The equipment over his head doesn't store offensive weaponry, but rather various medical tools and devices so he can deal with all sorts of emergency repairs. He and Digo of the Liner Team are old friends, and the two of them work together as the "central processors" of the Micromasters for designing strategies.
According to the story for Reverse Evolution Sixturbo, a computer virus briefly turned the Sixturbo team into Decepticons.
