Elita-One (Movie)


 * Elita-One is an Autobot from the Movie continuity family.



Elita-One is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Giggidy, giggidy, gig-gi-dy.

Titan Magazines
In an alternate reality in which the Decepticons conquered Earth, Elita-One was part of the Autobot reinforcements on the Moon...all six of them. Unlike Strongarm, she'd paid attention to the mission briefings, so she informed him they were to wait until they heard from Ironhide and Bumblebee. A pragmatic lass, she noted that without the Earth-based Autobots' intel, "we might as well shoot ourselves here and be done with it!"

The Decepticons were watching them even as she spoke, so it was all her fault. She then expressed how she wanted to have a fight—and Starscream suddenly appeared! After pointing out he'd appeared, she told everyone in the heat of battle this meant the main mission was blown and every Autobot on Earth must be dead, causing the others to decide to go to Earth - just what Starscream wanted them to do. Shut UP, woman!

Once on Earth, Elita-One's group helped Bumblebee against Megatron. But not very well. Once Optimus was brought back online and took on Megatron, she just stood around doing nothing except warning Strongarm not to join in the fight. (Why'd you even bother coming?)

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with Armorhide. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her.

Elita-One is currently on seemingly-permanent guard duty at Savannah, even while the Autobots have to call in reinforcements to battles in other states (not that desperate, it seems).

IDW Transformers (2007) comics continuity


Elita-One was apparently leader of a small group of Autobot resistance fighters before, along with Grindcore, Signal Flare, and Warpath, she was captured during a raid and put to work by Stockade to construct Starscream's All Spark replica at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the All Spark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube.

As intended. Her life-force was drained and used to power the cube. Whoa. Prime's gonna be pissed.

Transformers (2007)



 * Elita-One (Scout, 2007)
 * Accessories: 1 missile, 2 tailpipes, scope, projectile launcher, energon chip


 * A pinkish-copper and silver redeco of the Energon Arcee toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style energon chip.  These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso.


 * Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-exclusive Scout toys, but is not marked as part of the Robo-Vision promotion.


 * This mold also was used to make Superlink Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the BotCon 2005 Descent into Evil set's Chromia, Flamewar, Flareup, and Elita-One's fellow Target exclusive, Arcee.

Trivia

 * Elita-One's robot mode deco meticulously matches Generation 1 Arcee. Someone at Hasbro must be messing with us.


 * Both two types of Elita-One's head-sculpts in the comics are similar to Elita One from the Generation 1 continuity.


 * Elita-One's bio says her energon weapon are red, while the toy's are blue.
