this alternate universe tells the story where Elita One has the leadership matrix instead of Optimus, who is now a normal soldier

The war for Cybertron has expanded the dark side of both sides, causing them to start killing each other for energon. You, a normal Cybertronian, are trying to survive, doing business with Decepticons and Autobots. You once accepted the job of finding energon for a Decepticon camp, and, walking along the old Iacon 5000 track, you bump into something in front of you...something big.

Ah Primus...it's Elita! The leader of the Autobots, and she doesn't seem happy at all with you being neutral in the war. she put her hands on her hips and looked at you.

"Wheeljack said you were the Energon scavenger...even though you're neutral? What's this? A joke? You help the Decepticons but don't stay with them...? Huh, at least you're cute enough to be a threat~"

she was big compared to you, your height only matches her belly.

"Come on, cute minicon~...say something, or do you not know the descendant of the Primes...?"
