That's the idea I had with my WFC figures. The EARTHRISE G1 figures are on one shelf as the Earth Force, while on a second shelf stands Elita-1 and her Cybertronian Resistance (mostly Siege and the fembots from previous series).
Oh yeah I forgot they were in stasis for so long, that is kind of what we see in WFC but I preferably would like to see a living Cybertron just ruled by Decepticons as the setting, kind of like what was seen in Bumblebee. And if a full long series is too expensive Im okay with a miniseries
That scene in TFA where Blackarachnia looks up at the moon and starts weeping will never cease to hurt. In light of this, I highly recommend Blackarachnia for your Halloween special.
Their relationship is similar to Captain America and Peggy carter if you really think about it. The movie version did her, Arcee and Chromia really dirty. If they just add some elements from the comics into the movie maybe DOTM Shockwave would have been absolutely better because of what he did, it also gives a reason why prime gruesomely killed shockwave, because again Shockwave barley did anything except shoot and commanded his driller bot to do stuff for his.
She is the best. I prefer the War for Cybertron version, for the strength of her conviction and her leadership skills. The G1 cartoon always will hold a special place forever, because I loved the idea of female autobots as a kid. Her WFC toy is my 3rd favorite, I am happy I was able to get her. Great review Rodimus, you are still at the top of your game.
This part I like a lot because she do care. 17:03 Elita-One needs more larger roles for her like boyfriend Optimus Prime she needs more toys of her look like from the cartoon show. I do ship or call it sparkmate Optimus Prime and Elita-One a lot as my favorite Transformers ship. I hope new Transformers show they will make them have a good life without seeing them fight each others. My favorite version of her is always be G1 a lot when I watch that episode of her and her Female Autobot team and OP and EO's origin story as well. Thank you for the video. We all care about you and your friends, family and everything as well.
Mine too, I wanna see these two live a happy life instead of just having a one time thing (in G1) and the rest either she would be dead, Optimus and Elita break up, or fight each other. SERIOUSLY HASBRO HAVE OPTIMUS AND ELITA MARRIED FOR PRIMUS SAKE!!
She is the one only girl for Optimus! She always has stood by her belief and gave Optimus her support even until the very end… Kingdom’s confirming her demise😭
There’s so much potential for Elita One to be a main character. I imagine her as the Transformers version of Tsunade from Naruto. Think about it, it makes for her character to be based off of her, given the fact that she’s basically the mother figure for the Transformers. Believe me, I’ve never watched Naruto before, but I remember some of the more recognizable characters in the anime.
RP: The violence of the war drove a wedge between Elita and Optimus prime. Prime: GIVE ME YOUR FACE!!! Brutality killing the Fallen! Me: Gee I wonder why.😂😂
It was perfect! I loved it rodimus. Elita-1 as with her g1 style is my favorite. And I loved her role in the Netflix transformers series.. I just wished she did not die. And I do hope they will bring her back In the future of the transformers franchise.
@@RDSArcade she would never abandon her son hot rod/rodimus prime like that. T She's not that kind of fembot. Granted yes, she was never in season 3 but she most likely retired from active duty and became a stay at home mom for rodimus when he return home after a long day of work.
It would be nice if we could have a series where we actually have a more idealized take on Optimus and Elita's dynamic from WFC: Less drama, more of actual interactions that would show why they would be friends and a couple, even Conjunx Endura. Really, the two of them need to be a double act, because there is so much potential for her as a character through her being Optimus' SO, something that lets us see what kind of bot she is as a counterpart to Optimus, whatever his personality is. I have my own ideas for the two of them, both as Optimus and Elita, and in their former lives as the archivist Orion Pax and the dock worker Ariel. Their romance is but a mere foundation for their actual interactions, the same way most media portray a duo act of two best friends, only in this case, said best friends are a chill married couple. Certainly not the bickering type, nor the Gomez-and-Morticia romantic type. More like we see why did they even become friends in the first place, let alone lovers. And ideally, she has a body the height and less exaggerated proportions of her POTP self, but is a truck or some other heavy land vehicle. She's one of the leaders, she deserves to be a Voyager or Voyager-ish in size.
Elita-1 was the highlight on WFC siege. I really like her G1 incarnation as a stubborn fan. She and fem-bots truly deserve more air time, that was a fun team to watch
I wish Hasbro could finally release a true figure of Elita One, not a repainted, not a retool not a remold, but a complete new mold with her own alt mode
You'd have to wait for a Third party to do one since the Transformation would be too much for Hasbro to do considering she's such an Obscure character. Looking at her Car mode you could Easily Retool the Studio Series Hot Rod mod into her.
I always liked Elita One and her previous form of Ariel. I hope to see more of her in years to come. I'd love to see a toy based on G1 of Elita One, Ariel, Dion and Orion Pax, all Hasbro or Takara official releases. I already got a 3rd party toy of Orion Pax and preodered a 3rd party tranformable toy of Alpha Trion. It would be great if Hasbro releases an official G1. Tranformable version of Alpha Trion too. I grew up on G1, loved Beast Wars from the beginning and loved the G2 comics story (thought the cartoon should've been based on the story in the comics). I just hope Hasbro puts out an official G1 tranformable versions of those four characters. That would be heaven to me. Keep up the great work Rodimus. 'Til All Are One!
This might just be me being weird but I'd love to see romance slice of life type series with Optimus and Elita, something more comedy focused and light hearted
Elita One is one of most favorite Autobots characters. She woman grace, beauty, strength, maturity, and honor a female leader that I love about. In a way she remind me of General Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX another female leader I like as well.
Favorite?? G1 the origional version.The Netflix figure I changed her name to Nova since I have the jet version of Elita and she looks more G1 ish..Yes a new toys and a return to G1 must be done
Elita One has been always my favourite fembot: she was not only the first one that I met and who showed us a little more of life in Cybertron but she also has a cool head that looks like a pair of headphones whit a radio incorporated!
Awesome, I've been waiting for a retrospective on her! When younger we got crossed up and thought Arcee was another version of her because of the color scheme in the G1 movie. Hopefully we get a G1 version of her AND an all-spark guardian colored variant. Anybody else collecting the studio series transformers G1 movie toys? I scored moonbase one Jazz and autobot city Blurr today :-)
I made certain to get her most recent toy simply because she is Optimus female counterpart. I always liked her and then when I saw Prime I made certain to get him as well.
Until they decide to make a G1 version of Elita 1, I am seriously considering getting a War for Cybertron version of Elita 1 on Ebay sometime soon. Til all are one!!
Elite 1, she is awesome! My favorite version of her has to be the NETFLIX one! Then her original G1 one. Too bad the Netflix one had to die... Still she will always be awesome! My favorite female transformer!
Fantastic video RodimusPrimal!!!!!! I have the 2007/movie 1, PotP, and Netflix/WFC versions of Elita-1 and they are all great figures. My favorite appearances of Elita-1 are the G1 and WfC series. :D Keep on being amazing.
I would love to see her in a bigger role again... and as a life partner at Optimus' side. I loved her G1 and War for Cybertron version (although the ending disappointed me very much). I found her IDW1 version very "strange" and never got used to it (in my opinion they should have created a new femme for this role), so I didn't like this version of her at all.
@@RodimusPrimal I was really happy to see her in WFC again, in a bigger role, as soldier AND Optimus life partner but her end (and that of the other Autobots) was very sad and like I said, very disapointing. In my opinion the Netflix Transformers series had some really good ideas, but also some ideas that I didn't like at all. And Elita's fate was one of those bad ideas. Interestingly enough, my favorite version of Arcee is also G1.
fav is the G1 version, with animated in close second, wish both was more expended upon/build on like how the WFC trilogy handled her(bar Kingdom) kinda wish I read /kept up with the comics more, IDW version is interesting
NGL in WFC it gave me the impression that she survived but was killed by Nemesis Prime. It doesn't make sense that her body would be exposed and not under the debris of the collapsed building, she was inside with Shockwave. Also her hand was missing fingers as if cut iirc and Nemesis came with a sword in the spoiler toy...
This is one part of Transformers I would of loved to see more of Elita 1 and her squad. Would of been cool to have a few episodes in season 2 show the battle between them and Shockwave. Can't go wrong seeing Shockwave more for that matter either showing how he us holding Cyebrtron for Megatron's return.
"should Elita have more of a role in the future..." Yes, as long as they put effort into developing her as an interesting character with strengths and weakness etc and not just a token female or an out of place too powerful character.
That would also interest me very much. But...what about Starscream and Windblade (IDW1)? I found their interactions/relationship in the Windblade comics very interested, entertaining and amusing. I must admit, since then I've been a huge "Windscream" fan. ;)
I'd still like for them to establish a purpose for male and female robots having a relationship in a storyline. Perhaps in another continuity down the road, they could establish that a piece of a male Spark and a piece of a female Spark can create a Spark!!! And since we finally got Origin Bumblebee, Perhaps we will see a proper Elita-1 somewhere down the road. I think mostly everyone wants Cybertronian Wheeljack first though. A side story about how Orion Pax and Ariel met would make a good comic book mini series.
If it's all the same I'll call the female Autobots, the Battle Angels. They deserve a team name better than 'female Autobots'. And it's a good anime inversion. While I like the original, you can never go wrong having Cree Summer voice acting. I hope more females will be added in future series not just the 1 token female.
I really like elita and I'm glad she's getting a bigger presence in fiction but as it stands, she's a few notches away from sentinel prime as far as the treatment she usually gets.
Same reason Disney never brought Mara Jade into their new timeline; too many writers want their head heroes to be isolated. It's stupid, but it's why I think they did it.
It´s a shame Hasbro or Takara haven´t explore more the relation between Optimus and Elita, I dream the day we could have a wedding between the leaders of Cybertron
Definitely love to see more of her, especially if it's based on the original and War for Cybertron. I've always felt that since I watched her first appearance. I enjoyed the relationship between her, Optimus, and Alpha Trion. Speaking of which, that's another character I'd love to learn more about. He's so old that he still resembles the Quintesson designs and doesn't transform. Imagine the things he'd seen in all that time.
I've been waiting for another retropective & this was a great one. I can't wait for your retrospective on blackarachnia when you get around to it as I'm sure that'll be great as all your others. I've only watched the G1 serirs so that's the only version of Elita One I'm familiar with since I haven't seen the live action movie she was in yet. I do like how Alpha Trion told Optimus that only he could save Elita after she used her special power, it was like how if he was the only one with her blood type & she needed a blood transfusion.
i wanna see elita-1 looking like her g1 version in a future transformers series, i hope she transforms into a nissan gtr sport in a future transformers series, and i hope venus terzo voices her in a future transformers series
Well, there is an explanation for Elita One , Chromia, and Arcee return in the Rising Storm comics. Chromia was not shown to be killed in Revenge of the Fallen. Because of that and the fact that the three shared a spark connection, Elita-One and Arcee survived. Even though Elita-One was "killed" by Shockwave, the connection is still there. Because of the spark connection, I think Elita-One, Arcee, and Chromia never died in the Bayverse!!
@@RodimusPrimal What about the spark connection which allowed them to survive if only one or two of the three bodies were destroyed? The comics do explain everything the movies failed to explain. Bay created misinformation campaigns. So he should not be trusted. That's what I think, but I understand why Bay had control over his films.
I dont think they've done her justice in any media since her introduction . Her and Prime not being able to be together due to commitments but always wanting to be . Same fight but on different battle fields ,both waiting for the day when they can be together again . War dawn always stuck out to me as a kid .
The Golden Age was apparently the 1950s... Ariel's design reminds me of someone at a sock hop. Dion probably named after the singer and I guess they couldn't call Elita, Sue...
I like best the WFC version cause it looks more of a leader. But dont mind if they make a g1 accurate. It doesnt matter cause she appeared only once in G1 so for me, WFC is just great. Appeared even more and i just clicked with her character. Dont even miss the G1.
Another good one Primal....I will say after hearing the Bayformers lack of continuity and making any sense you spoke about I am glad I ignored em. Be well.
She’s the best thing about the war for cybertron trilogy, IMO
Absolutely. I seem to like that series better than most, but just about everyone seems to agree Elita One was portrayed amazingly.

I love how Elita has the same parental wisdom as Optimus. She's motherly, and Prime is fatherly. Such a power couple!
I wouldn't mind a series of Elita 1 being Autobot Leader against a Shockwave led Decepticons. Could be while the Ark/Nemesis crews were in stasis.
Springer, MAGNUS..etc would need to be included in that. Great idea
That's the idea I had with my WFC figures. The EARTHRISE G1 figures are on one shelf as the Earth Force, while on a second shelf stands Elita-1 and her Cybertronian Resistance (mostly Siege and the fembots from previous series).
She pretty much was except for Alpha Trion.
I thought Alita did lead half the Autobots and Shockwave LED half the Decepticons well Optimus and Megatron and the others were all on Earth
Oh yeah I forgot they were in stasis for so long, that is kind of what we see in WFC but I preferably would like to see a living Cybertron just ruled by Decepticons as the setting, kind of like what was seen in Bumblebee.
And if a full long series is too expensive Im okay with a miniseries
A real Tragedy she was never in G1 Season 3. Elita is a great Character. Homaging the French resistance is a fascinating choice.

She tends to die a lot, no wonder why she is perfect for Optimus.
My Favorite Transformers G1 Optimus Prime Love Elite One Episodes Cybertron Love Story
Another great retrospective 👍 Can't wait to see who's next
I'd still like for them to establish a purpose for male and female robots having a relationship in a storyline. Perhaps in another continuity down the road, they could establish that a piece of a male Spark and a piece of a female Spark can create a Spark!!! And since we finally got Origin Bumblebee, Perhaps we will see a proper Elita-1 somewhere down the road. I think mostly everyone wants Cybertronian Wheeljack first though. A side story about how Orion Pax and Ariel met would make a good comic book mini series.
Very nice Rodimus!!
If it's all the same I'll call the female Autobots, the Battle Angels. They deserve a team name better than 'female Autobots'. And it's a good anime inversion.
While I like the original, you can never go wrong having Cree Summer voice acting. I hope more females will be added in future series not just the 1 token female.
That name sounds a whole lot better for sure! And yes, taking a cue from the anime.... You've given me an interesting idea.
@@basedpotaAlpha's Angels has a nice ring to it. 🙂
I really like elita and I'm glad she's getting a bigger presence in fiction but as it stands, she's a few notches away from sentinel prime as far as the treatment she usually gets.
@@basedpota yes
I have always prefered the G1 version. I wish they did more with the female Autobots.
I prefer both G1 and the war for cybertron trilogy.
Really good (unintentional) birthday "present".
Elita's voice drove me up the wall in WFC. She always sounded like she was going to cry. Massively overdramatic.
Why do writers of Transformers after the G1 cartoon keep writing tragic stories for Elita-1 or just ignore her completely?
Totally agree.
Because they don’t know how to make compelling stories without deconstructing them.
Same reason Disney never brought Mara Jade into their new timeline; too many writers want their head heroes to be isolated. It's stupid, but it's why I think they did it.
Elita one is my favorite girl Transformer she's really awesome character 😀😀😀😀😀😀♥️👍
It´s a shame Hasbro or Takara haven´t explore more the relation between Optimus and Elita, I dream the day we could have a wedding between the leaders of Cybertron
Elita deserve her own tv series

Definitely love to see more of her, especially if it's based on the original and War for Cybertron. I've always felt that since I watched her first appearance. I enjoyed the relationship between her, Optimus, and Alpha Trion. Speaking of which, that's another character I'd love to learn more about. He's so old that he still resembles the Quintesson designs and doesn't transform. Imagine the things he'd seen in all that time.
I'm now a huge fan of Elita-1 thanks to the Netflix show. Hope to see more of her soon.
She was for sure the breakout character of WFC.
I've been waiting for another retropective & this was a great one. I can't wait for your retrospective on blackarachnia when you get around to it as I'm sure that'll be great as all your others. I've only watched the G1 serirs so that's the only version of Elita One I'm familiar with since I haven't seen the live action movie she was in yet. I do like how Alpha Trion told Optimus that only he could save Elita after she used her special power, it was like how if he was the only one with her blood type & she needed a blood transfusion.
Another excellent retrospective 🤘😁🤘
As far as having bigger rolls hell yeah. I like the G1 version the best.
i wanna see elita-1 looking like her g1 version in a future transformers series, i hope she transforms into a nissan gtr sport in a future transformers series, and i hope venus terzo voices her in a future transformers series
While War for Cybertron is not the best of Transformers, the Elita One in that series is probably the best version.
I like that she went from "girlfriend of Optimus" to Autobot warrior, with or without Op.
She is still Optimus Prime's girl though.
@@RodimusPrimal For sure! I like that they added that element to the story. They aren't just unfeeling mechs.
Well, there is an explanation for Elita One , Chromia, and Arcee return in the Rising Storm comics. Chromia was not shown to be killed in Revenge of the Fallen. Because of that and the fact that the three shared a spark connection, Elita-One and Arcee survived. Even though Elita-One was "killed" by Shockwave, the connection is still there. Because of the spark connection, I think Elita-One, Arcee, and Chromia never died in the Bayverse!!
Which Bay stated they died, ignoring the comics.
@@RodimusPrimal True, but Bay really be trusted?
@@davidbailey6917 he had the final say as far as characters in the film are concerned.
@@RodimusPrimal What about the spark connection which allowed them to survive if only one or two of the three bodies were destroyed? The comics do explain everything the movies failed to explain. Bay created misinformation campaigns. So he should not be trusted. That's what I think, but I understand why Bay had control over his films.
It’s neat that Ariel is the voice actress of Jem and Elita One is the voice actress of Synergy!
I dont think they've done her justice in any media since her introduction . Her and Prime not being able to be together due to commitments but always wanting to be . Same fight but on different battle fields ,both waiting for the day when they can be together again . War dawn always stuck out to me as a kid .
She is my favorite and I would love a new Elita one with g1 colors and a better transformation than the Netflix figure.
My first Elita-1 was the Revenge Of The Fallen deluxe one, but lost it a long time ago, but got the Netflix one
I have her Power of the Primes toy and the Netflix one. Both have their ups and downs, but I like the Netflix one the best.
@@RodimusPrimal nice
Also, I never got the Earthrise/Kingdom Arcee, so Elita-1 was the first time I got the mold
The Golden Age was apparently the 1950s... Ariel's design reminds me of someone at a sock hop. Dion probably named after the singer and I guess they couldn't call Elita, Sue...
Prime. Only creator know that. How'd did you know?
Alpha Trion: just a lucky guess.
An educated guess, Prime.
@@RodimusPrimal close enough. It's been since the eighties I saw that episode.
It's all good. You can watch G1 on UA-cam now so you can refresh your memory anytime you wish!
Can we have a movie/comic/show showing her having some couple moments with Optimus during the war, please?
We need to see more of elita-one
I like best the WFC version cause it looks more of a leader. But dont mind if they make a g1 accurate. It doesnt matter cause she appeared only once in G1 so for me, WFC is just great. Appeared even more and i just clicked with her character. Dont even miss the G1.
Thank you!
Another good one Primal....I will say after hearing the Bayformers lack of continuity and making any sense you spoke about I am glad I ignored em. Be well.
Its not fair for Elita One do die in the WFC trilogy! She could of come aboard in the Ark with Optimus Prime!!!
