Based on DOTM, I think Autobots and Decepticons alike have small "Scalpels" that repair them after battle. Kind of like humans and cell regeneration. Except we can't grow lost limbs back. But since Transformers are robots, they can probably rebuild their limbs. They probably need medics like Ratchet for more extensive damage. But who knows all the details about robot physiology.
Ture but who would be there medic in the 1st movie? *Sarcastic* Brawl? He's the guy who smashes stuff up.
Bad guys don't need medics. Bad guys are there to die. Scalpel is only in the movies to sew on new faces after a Decepticon has accidentally bumped into Optimus. Doctor Banner turns into the Hulk. That's kinda the same thing.
It would utterly hilarious if Bonecrusher was the medic. Brawl: Crusher, some asshole cut off my arm. Help me! Bonecrusher: I hate arms. Here, I'll stitch it back on with these things I found in the dumpster. Brawl: You mean some old magazines, a gold club and Mr Fluff, the cat from down the street? BC: Yep. Blackout: Crusher, some guy shot me in the crotch. Help me! BC: I hate crotches. Here's a lollypop to help you cope. Blackout: What flavour is it? BC: DEATH.
The wacky adventures of Bonecrusher, the terrible medic! Megatron: Crusher, my face was shot off! Help me! BC: I hate hating to tell you this, but this is a hospital. We're supposed to make people better, not make them worse. Meg: Oh, you asshole. BC: Starscream: Crusher, I have a bomb in my eye! Help me! BC: I hate Doritos. How about a Pom-Bear instead? At least then you'll be some kind of BEARable. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! SS: *explodes*
Barricade: Crusher, I wasn't in the second movie! Help me! BC: I don't need to help you; you helped yourself! Both: HA HA HA HA HA HA it'sbecausethesecondmoviesucked Shockwave: Crusher, I was horribly mutilated by Optimus. Help me! BC: I hate mutilations. Don't worry, I have found a replacement eye for you. Shockwave: This isn't an eye, it's a lamp! BC: Don't worry; at least with this, you'll be some kind of bright! Shockwave: Go to hell. Protoforms: Crusher, we suck at being competent villains! Help us! BC: I hate villains. Here, have these lollypops to help you cope. Protoforms: What flavour are they? BC: Teabags. The Autobots have made you familar with it, I'm sure. YEEEEEEEEEEAAAH!
