"The worst wrecks are my best patients."
Function: Patrol Leader
Bio
(From Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye Profile Book)
No matter how bad a situation gets, Fixit never accepts defeat. This olds true when he's working feverishly to save a fading patient, thinking of a way out of a heavy Decepticon crossfire, or even just making his way through traffic. This boundless dedication in the face of adversity helped him overcome his commanders' prejudice against his non-combat, medical skills. His experiences with both fighting and healing have made Fixit as comfortable with a rifle as with a laser-scalpel, giving him a unique problem-solving leadership style that ultimately earned him the command role in his search and rescue team. When the unit came up for review, Stakeout gladly stepped down for the surprised, modest Fixit to take over. The team appreciates his skills and feels strongly that his abilities and attitude will help them and the war faster, with less fuelshed.
The highly trained and intelligent Fixit is one of the best medical practitioners among the Transformers and has developed a specialisation in combat treatment. He carries a range of multi-use repair tools, including laser-scalpels, wielders, and circuitry repair patches. He has an internal life function scanner that helps him monitor his patients but also has the military use of detecting enemy positions at an effective range of up to .5 miles away. In vehicle mode, he has a repair bay capable of accommodating a Micromaster Transformer.
Fixit has only average strength and is not particularly fast in vehicle mode.

[edit] Stakeout
"Sometimes you must go outside the law to enforce it."
Stakeout (Japanese Name: Hari [there is some debate as to how this name should actually be romanized]) is a member of the Autobot Micromaster Rescue Patrol. His function is search and rescue, and his transformation is a black police car.
In the Dreamwave G1 continuity (see Transformers Universes), Stakeout was once the leader of the Rescue Patrol, but he stepped down to allow Fixit to lead.
Oddly, Stakeout's vehicle mode was drawn as a mostly white police car in Japan, even though the toy representing him was identical to the American version.
