====Scalpel==== 

The chief medical scientist of Shockwave's Empire, Scalpel is tiny for a Decepticon, being the size of one's hand.   But Scalpel is one of the most feared of all Decepticons as the cruelties he can conjure at his medical tables will shake even the hardiest of souls to their core.  Older than the likes of Fabius Bile or Urien Rakarth and only surpassed in age by the likes of Illuminor Szeras, few who have gained reputations as mad scientists can match the horror of being one of Scalpel's experiments.  Though certainly an able and skilled healer, by all means, Scalpel prefers harming to healing and when the rising Imperium assaulted the worlds of the Decepticons, it was he who had the files on human gene sequences retrieved to unleash several horrific bioweapons targeted at the Imperium's people and studied the Astartes to find a weakness in the superhuman soldiers, and it was he who organized a raid on the Night Lords to recover the body of Konrad Kurze to learn how humanity could have created such powerful warriors for his experimentations; an insult for which the Night Lords have never forgiven Scalpel.  Scalpel has helped many of his fellow Decepticons gain some "modifications" to make themselves more able warriors, though he can charge steep fares for his attention.
