Elita-1 (One)

Elita-1 is an Autobot from One.

Magentta Johansson

Elita-1 doesn't have time for your nonsense. As the head of an Energon mining crew, she maintained a spotless record while harvesting large amounts of energon for the good of Cybertron. Despite having to manage bots less perfect than herself, she put herself on track to promotion through her hard work and leadership skills.

...until one of those aforementioned less-than-perfect bots messed all that up.

Fiction

One film

Voice actor: Scarlett Johansson (English), Riho Yoshioka (Japanese), Audrey Fleurot (European French), Julia Vaidis-Bogard (European French, first trailer), Camille Cyr-Desmarais (Canadian French), Emilia Schüle (German), Dafne Gallardo (Latin-American Spanish), Rosalba Sotelo (Latin-American Spanish, first trailer), Cristina López (Spain Spanish), Joël Mulachs (Spain Spanish, first trailer), Camila Queiroz (Brazilian Portuguese), Domitilla D'Amico (Italian), Alina Jefremoff (Finnish)

As the captain of a group of cogless energon miners, Elita-1 maintained a spotless record and was determined to eventually be promoted to overseer. During one venture into the mines, Wheeljack accidentally caused an unstable energon vein to explode, causing a collapse that pinned Jazz under rock. As per protocol, Elita ordered all miners to evacuate and leave Jazz. However, Orion Pax and D-16 defied the order and managed to save Jazz, barely making out of the collapsing tunnel and causing damage to nearby mining equipment. Elita was blamed for the disaster and demoted to waste management by Darkwing.

During the Iacon 5000 race, Elita watched in disbelief as Orion and D-16 were revealed to be participating on the monitors. After the race, she later found the two, along with the overly-talkative B-127, tresspassing on transport train in an attempt to reach the planet's surface. Still furious about her demotion, Elita attempted to sabotage the departing train. Despite this, Cybertron's shifting geology caused the four bots to be thrown from the train upon reaching the surface, with Elita crying out in fury. Orion explained they had discovered the possible location of the Matrix of Leadership and were on a quest to retrieve the lost artifact. Snatching the map from Orion, Elita demanded that she be in charge and that if they found the Matrix, the other three would take full responsibility for going out of bounds and say she had tried to stop them.

The quartet eventually arrived at an ancient cave containing the bodies of the Primes. After searching the cave unsuccessfully for the Matrix, the four discovered that Alpha Trion's spark had not been extinguished and revived him with an energon cube. Trion revealed that Cybertron's leader Sentinel Prime, was an imposter, a false Prime who had betrayed the Primes as part of a deal with the invading Quintessons and had removed the transformation cogs from all newly born Cybertronians so they could mine energon as tribute for the invaders. To aid the four, Trion granted them cogs from four of the fallen Primes, with Elita receiving Alchemist Prime's, and the group retreated as Trion held off the approaching Death Trackers.

On their way back to Iacon City, the four were captured by the former Cybertron High Guard. The Guard's leader, Starscream, demanded intelligence on Sentinel but was beaten into submission by D-16, who seized control of the Guard and began to prepare for an assault on Sentinel's tower. Unfortunately it was at that point that Sentinel's enforcer, Airachnid, found and destroyed the High Guard's base and captured D-16, B-127, Starscream, and several other Guard members. Elita gave a discouraged Orion a peptalk. Despite taking many digs at him, she praised him for his endless optimism and potential as a great leader. Though the remaining members of the guard displayed some dissent towards the newcomers, Elita silenced it by slugging Shockwave in his eye. Formulating a plan to use the remaining Guard members along with additional support from the miners, Orion commanded the Guard to roll out for Sentinel's tower to rescue their comrades.

Commandeering a garbage train, Elita crashed it headlong into the tower while Soundwave freed the prisoners. While D-16 attacked Sentinel, Elita, Orion, and B resolved to captured Airachnid and broadcast her memories to reveal Sentinel's crimes to the city. As the broadcast went out, Elita and the others watched as D-16 turned on Orion, executed Sentinel, and declared himself "Megatron" before commanding the High Guard to ransack the city. Though Elita and B attempted to stop Megatron's rampage, they were no match for his new, more powerful form. Just then, Orion, empowered by the Matrix into Optimus Prime, returned to the surface and managed to defeat Megatron, banishing him and the High Guard from the city. Elita looked on as Optimus used the power of the Matrix to make energon flow freely once more and gave all the miners transformation cogs. United as fully autonomous "Autobots", they vowed to defend Cybertron from the Quintessons and any future threats. One
