Scalpel (Movie)


 * Scalpel is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.



Though Scalpel "The Doctor" looks harmless, he is very evil. He's pretty much the Decepticon version of Perceptor, but more sadistic, cruel, and smaller. He tortures people so much they die, then brings them back to life so he can do it again.

Revenge of the Fallen film


The Doctor went to the the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss along with Long Haul, Rampage, Ravage, Mixmaster and Scrapmetal. Using the All Spark fragment stolen by Ravage, the Doctor orders the Decepticons to kill Scrapmetal to obtain the parts to repair Megatron's body.

He later waits in the warehouse where Grindor captured and took Sam, Mikaela and Leo. Megatron orders him to extract the knowledge of the Cybertonian language Sam had been seeing. He was able to probe into his nose and brain, but demanded to take out the brain for a full scan. However, he was unfortunately interrupted in his preparation to drill into Sam's brain when Bumblebee and Optimus came to the rescue and had a brief battle. He got shot later on.

Dark of the Moon film
He and the other Decepticon doctors that look similar in form fix Megatron's face up, because in the previous movie Revenge of the Fallen, Optimus Prime kicked his butt. Megatron seems to have fun killing the doctors.

Scalpel (Scout, 2009)
 * Scalpel transforms into a microscope. In microscope mode, he isn't life sized, since he is very tiny for a microscope. However, his humanoid form is almost a perfect life-sized version of the one in the Revenge of the Fallen film.

It is often thought that Scalpel created a few of the Minicons like Ejector. (More likely destroyed some too).

Trivia

 * His fate isn't shown in the film, but the novelization and comic depict him being destroyed by Optimus Prime upon arrival.


 * When Scalpel ordered the others to kill "zeh little one", he was the smallest Transformer in the area... perhaps he has issues. Scale issues.


 * He appears to speak in a German accent; like when he says: 'We must have ze brain onla ze tabla!' probably he is supposed to be like a Mad Scientist.


 * Sam refers to him as a "little crab robot." Harsh.
