Beta

From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

Beta is a Female Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Beta -- Sexier than Elita-1, more kickass than Arcee. The original model makes her debut... Arcee totally stole her weapon idea.

The gravelly-voiced Beta began existence as one of the Quintessons' many robotic slaves. She would not remain so. In the course of time she became a warrior, armed with a powerful crossbow weapon, and standing beside her partner A3 she would be a leader in the robot rebellion that freed Cybertron from its Quintesson masters.

Voice actress: Susan Blu (US), ? (Japan)

The night before the climactic battle with the Qunitessons, Beta found that A3 and his powerful Coda Remote had gone missing. With the remote's ability to override the Dark Guardians necessary for a slave victory, Beta went searching for her missing counterpart. Though he was nowhere to be found she did stumble across a group of strange and powerful robots that improbably also wore the slave brand.

After rescuing them from a Dark Guardian, Beta secured their help in the revolt. The strange robots did their part until A3 returned, much to Beta's bear-hugging joy, and saved the day. Beta's fate after this is unknown. Forever is a Long Time Coming

[edit] Trivia

• A veiled reference is made to Beta in the bio for the Beast Machines Deployer Rav.

• The Energon Omnicon Arcee's toy appears to take several design cues from Beta, notably the helmet crest and crossbow weapon.
