The name or term Elita One refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Elita One (disambiguation).



As the first female Transformer, Elita-One always steals the spotlight. But she's more than meets the eye. She's a shrewd soldier and, better yet, an exceptional sharpshooter. Here's a hint: she's able to blast Scraplets off a Decepticon from more than four miles away. Every bit as adept in close range combat, she's able to generate an "attraction field" that can cause unshielded robots to overheat in no time. Elita-One is Optimus Prime's longest serving and most trusted officer. It's nothing personal. Really.

Fiction[]

Titan Magazines[]

In an alternate timeline in which the Decepticons conquered Earth, Elita-One was part of the Autobot team hiding on the Moon. They had no idea that the Decepticons knew about them until Starscream took them by surprise. Transformers Comic issue 10 Fearing the fate of their counterparts on Earth, they decided to head there. Little did they know that it was exactly what Starscream wanted them to do. Transformers Comic issue 11

Bumblebee thus received unexpected help from Elita-One, Strongarm, and Skyblast against Megatron, but to no avail. It wasn't until Optimus was brought back online and took on Megatron. Transformers Comic issue 12 After Megatron was defeated, Elita-One was seen on sentry duty with Armorhide; however, a Decepticon attack reached Savannah on their watch without alert. Transformers Comic issue 14 Nevertheless, she was assigned to further sentry duty. Transformers Comic issue 16

Note: She changes appearance in each issue.

IDW Transformers (2007) comics continuity[]

Thousands of years ago on Cybertron, Elita-One was one of Sentinel Prime's followers, alongside Optimus, Megatron, Shockwave, and others who believed in his teachings of the Dynasty of Primes and the AllSpark. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at Simfur, Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing Thetacons until Wheeljack was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in Metrotitan and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. Foundation #1

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on Unification Day. She told Optimus that her sisters would have killed her if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's Science Division, while Chromia became part of Megatron's Defense Force. Foundation #2Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange relic and Cybertron was attacked by the aliens of the Eshems Nebula, Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. Defiance #2Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and Ratchet, Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". Defiance #3

When Megatron reformed the military into the Decepticons and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to Tyger Pax. Elita witnessed the departure of the Nemesis with the other Autobots, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and Ironhide. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. Foundation #3It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at Simfur Temple, Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the Ark and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after Starscream blew up the ship. Foundation #4

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on Megatron's citadel. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. Foundation #1She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. Foundation #2Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. Foundation #4

Sometime in 1908, Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal energon from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by Shockwave and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. Rising Storm #2

Elita-oneros4

Mrs. Garrison, please report to the office. Principal Optimus wants to talk to you.

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial Replica AllSpark, and had Elita-One, Grindcore, Signal Flare, and Warpath captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. The Reign of Starscream #4Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. The Reign of Starscream #5

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist Flatline, along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single spark. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by Thundercracker with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins Skids and Mudflap, in the process. Tales of the Fallen #6 Rising Storm #1

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, Sideswipe, Topspin, Leadfoot and Roadbuster arrived on Earth on the Wreckers ship Xantium. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in NASA) Dark of the Moon Dark of the Moon #3in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce NEST, the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon Demolishor had been sighted in Shanghai, China. Alliance #4

Revenge of the Fallen film[]

Note: Though Elita-1's toy gets its own name and personality, all three motorcycles are simply components of Arcee in the film. Check out Arcee for more information. But despite the fact that Elita-1 was not mentioned by name in the film, Studio Series toys confirmed that each component of Arcee had its own name. Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia.

Dark of the Moon - Rising Storm[]

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which Theodore Galloway would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When Skystalker, Divebomb and Fearswoop took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. Rising Storm #1

When Starscream attacked Philadelphia and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. Rising Storm #2

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced death, but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate New York - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but Soundwave jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. Rising Storm #3

After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. Rising Storm #4

Toys[]

Transformers (2007)[]

Movie-elitaone-toy-scout

Call her "town bike", and she'll shoot to kill.

  • Elita-One (Scout, 2007)
    • Accessories: Energon chip, exhaust pipes, missile, missile launcher, and scope.
Elita-One is a metallic copper, black, and silver redeco of Scout class Arcee, who herself is a redeco of Energon Arcee. Elita-One transforms into a superbike. It has no steering nor kickstand. But lowering one of her feet can serve the same purpose as a kickstand would. It also sports silver 'Z' stripes on both sides. Her vehicle attack mode would have her weaponry combined into two chunks for mounting on both sides of the bike.
In humanoid mode, Elita-One has a silver face with blue eyes, and a pair of high heels. She can have her weaponry attached to her legs as in her vehicle attack mode, or have the pieces combined to form a HUGE energon bow. Her energon bow can be pegged on either arm. Due to the enormous size of the bow and her arms' articulation, Elita-One can only hold the bow out to the side, just like an archer would (perhaps, that's the point). Oh, the energon bow does fire missile, but not the four miles mentioned in packaging, more like four inches. Extra care be taken when removing the energon chip from her torso, as careless removal might crack the said part.
Elita-One was part of the third wave of Target-exclusive Scout class toys, but was not part of the Robo-Vision promotion. It is worth mentioning that her mold is also used by Superlink Ariel Paradron Type, as well as Chromia, Flamewar, and Flareup of Timelines' "Descent into Evil" for BotCon 2005.

Transformers (2010)[]

Rotf-elita-1-toy-deluxe

Elita-1 is one beautiful black.

  • Elita-1 (Deluxe, 2010)
Repaint of Chromia with some mold fix, she is said to combine with Chromia and Arcee.
  • Autobot Skids / Elita-1 / Sergeant Epps (Human Alliance, 2011)

Notes[]

  • Elita-One's deco in humanoid mode is somehow analogous to Generation One Arcee's. Pretty much a simple swap in colors. Someone at Hasbro must be fooling with us.
  • Elita-One's head designs in both IDW and Titans comics are meant to resemble Elita One from the Generation One continuity.
  • It is retconned that Elita says she has two younger sisters in Foundation while the Rising Storm retcons the Tales of the Fallen story about Arcee being remade into Multi-component Transformer to include resurrecting the dead Elita and "some chick" who is called Chromia.
  • It is then explained that the components used to create the three "Arcees", where the dead bodies Elita-One and Chromia, who in Foundation are sisters with Arcee — in short — one big mix-up.
