Elita-1 once admired Megatron but sided with her partner, Optimus Prime, when war erupted between Autobots and Decepticons. She led the Autobot resistance as Cybertron was devastated, often questioning Optimus’s risky strategies. Promoted after Ultra Magnus’s capture, Elita aided missions to secure the Allspark and prevent Megatron’s tyranny. When Optimus launched the Ark to retrieve the Allspark, Elita chose to stay on Cybertron with her team to resist the oppression of the evil Decepticons.
