as you know in DOTM we see 2 Scalpel look a-likes repairing Megatron 1 in africa another in Chicago so you think one of them could be Scalpel or both are different characters?
Frankly, I think they're all just a bunch of clones, that "Ze Doctor" was just another insignificant clone.
They COULD be but I am thinking they are just plane reparing spiders. Does the novel ever say what happened to the Docter?
the ROTF Novel and Comic adaptation says he was destroyed but never haappened in the film (just like it happened with abrricade who died in the novel and comic adaptations btu survived the film)
The ROTF novel says he got squished by Optimus. I think Scalpel, in his awesomeness, built a shitload of clones of himself to work on Megatron's head, Scalpel probably leads the others. And see the irony of the thing: It's likely that at least one of them survived. TFIV: The Rise of Igor and Scalpel!
Heh I always hoped Scalpel didn't waste that Allspark shard just to be absorbed again by Megatron. Cue the fourth he still has it as Megatron's insurance.
I love the scene where hes sitting in Africa, covered in these little bug things that every now and then he squishes. Its like he sat on a fire ants nest.
