#apax

Dear Medical Marvel,

In that particular reality, the term does not always translate so literally—just as Ratchet was not Medix’s literal uncle, so too are Ratchet’s own “family” members not directly related to him; they are teachers, mentors, and caretakers who helped shape the young Ratchet into the wise, resourceful ‘bot he became.

Apax was the wise leader of Ratchet’s village during the Age of Origins. An early scholar and an early convert to Azimuth’s Patterner movement, she placed great importance on the value of knowledge and developed a system of cuneiform pictographs to better retain information, and archeologists believe that this might have been one of the earliest examples of written Cybertronian language.

Torquesteer was a professor at Cybertron’s first university in Iacon—the first neuroscientist in Cybertronian history, he was an accomplished scholar, thinker, and philosopher. His most notable contribution to the sciences was the creation of the Torquesteer Sparktype Tree, an attempt to map the different electrochemical compositions of each spark to variations in physical form and personality.

Apax! She is a member of Medix's family and is likely a medic herself.

She is only mentioned in Rescue Bots Academy.
