  Summary

  A stray bomb going off was to be expected in war, but one going off right in the middle of a medics tent was unheard of.

  Stuck in a Decepticons prison with the barely functioning frame of a racer he had hardly known. Ratchet of Vaporex is adamant on Hot Rod’s survival; something no mech here seems to share the sentiment of. Medical scanners ripped away, Hot Rod’s memory files corrupted, and a mech he had saved ages ago as his keeper. Ratchet is forced to play out the role of Con medic while these mechs attempt to shape Hot Rod into something more dedicated to the cause.
