Biography
Generation One
Elita-One was a female Autobot (female Cybertron) and leader of an Autobot (Cybertron) resistance cell on Cybertron (Seibertron). Elita-One began her existence as Ariel, a worker Autobot and girlfriend of Orion Pax. Nine million years ago, Megatron attacked the energy depot where she and Pax worked, and she was badly damaged. Saved by a mysterious group of Autobots (the time-displaced Aerialbots), Ariel was rebuilt by Alpha Trion into a warrior robot called Elita-One. While Pax- now Optimus Prime (Convoy)- was given the Autobot Matrix of Leadership (Cybertron Matrix of Leadership), Elita was given an ability just as potent- she could temporarily stop time. However, the ability drained so much of her power that she rarely ever used it.
Elita served a command role in the Autobot military during subsequent years, but few specifics were given. When Optimus Prime and his best troops left Cybertron in the Ark, he believed she had been slain in a missile attack, but in actuality she formed a secret resistance cell of female Autobots. Elita's fellow warriors included Chromia, Firestar and Moonracer, and they occasionally turned to Alpha Trion for aid and information. Their secrecy was so total that both Autobots and Decepticons (Destrons) came to believe that Elita-One and her kind had been destroyed.
In 1985, Elita's cell was rediscovered, leading to Starscream leading a squad to exterminate them. Although they were only able to trap the females in their collapsed base, Starscream did capture Elita. On learning this, a surprised and distressed Prime (with other Autobots tagging along) went to Cybertron to save her. This forced Elita to save a captured Optimus using her time-stopping power. Depleting most of her life-force as a result, Elita was taken by Prime to Alpha Trion. She was repaired in time for both the male and female Autobot leaders to rally their forces against the Decepticons. Afterwards, Elita and Prime parted ways again.
Elita-One's ultimate fate is unknown.
IDW
Elita One was a descendant of Liege Maximo's tribe. This group of Transformers had turned against their evil master following Megatronus's murder of Solus Prime Heavy and sworn an oath to keep their former leader detained aboard his own Titan Vigilem: repurposed into Carcer, a nomadic living prison. Rubicon Elita One became the captain of this prison ship and the "First One", ruling from a throne made of her people's greatest heroes, all of whom had sacrificed their lives and bodies to maintain their ship. Under Elita's command, the straitened Carcerians valued three core tenets that defined their existence: security, efficiency, and truth. Another law she upheld was that Carcer would never again transform, for fear of releasing Liege Maximo. When Elita's second-in-command Obsidian reported to her that combiners from Cybertron had briefly touched their Titan, Elita One took the news with amusement, All That Remains concluding that Cybertron had devolved into a civilization of conquerors looking to enslave her people. When representatives from Cybertron arrived a few weeks later, Elita One posted an armed detachment around her Titan's space bridge, which intercepted Windblade and Starscream as they appeared on her ship. Claiming that her ship was in fact the lost Titan Tempo, Elita led them through her home while explaining her people's straitened lifestyle. Starscream offered Elita an idea of a perfect Cybertron, and tempted her with the ideas of rich resources and land for the Carcer's leader. Like any normal bot, she called Starscream out on his lying by ordering a gun be put to his head to execute him. Windblade salvaged the situation by persuading her that Carcer needed Cybertron; Starscream was a scumbag and that killing him would bring war. Elita One believed Windblade and let Starscream go free, but she gave them a warning about lying on her ship, unaware that Windblade knew that she was lying about the heritage of her vessel. Regardless, Elita One sent representatives to Cybertron to the Council of Worlds signing with Obsidian and Strika as the delegates.
