Elita One

Elita One is the female counterpart to Optimus Prime, but also his closest friend and confidant. Many describe her as a devoted Autobot, fearless in the face of the enemy, but compassionate to those who require her help. Originally, Elita One was a simple manual laborer named Ariel before eventually becoming a renowned Autobot Commander. One of the few things she is famous for is refusing to give information to Megatron when he interrogated her on the battlefield of Polyhex. There is a rumor that she wields a powerful special power: the ability to stop time through the creation of a field with a fifty foot radius around her. Sadly, this ability drains all of her life force and is thus almost assuredly fatal, leaving her to only use it in the most dire of situations.

Elita One never argues with her orders, especially if those orders came from Optimus Prime. While most of the Autobots departed Cybertron for Earth, Elita remained behind with a number of other female Autobots to defend Cybertron from the Decepticons whom remained behind under Shockwave's command. Elita is well respected among the Autobots, and is shown to be very capable of handling herself in the battlefield.

Elita One is among the select few Autobots who serve as part of Optimus Prime's Command structure, tasked with guiding Autobot recruits and coordinating field operations.
