Elita-1 is a femme citizen of Iacon City on Cybertron. She led an energon mining crew as Captain and had a spotless record doing so, leaving her close to a promotion to Supervisor. But, after Orion Pax and D-16 disobey her order to evacuate a collapsing tunnel and break protocol, she's fired by Darkwing and sent to work in waste management. She's a strict, egotistical, and pragmatic leader who adheres rigidly to the rules, often at the expense of others. She's arrogant, believing she's superior.
