{{disambig3|Elita One}}

:''Elita One is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation One]] [[continuity family]]. She was once known as '''Ariel'''.''

[[Image:MCA-ElitaOne.jpg|thumb|right|Elita YUM.]]

'''Elita One''' is the female counterpart to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]; a powerful warrior, fearless in the face of her enemies, but compassionate to those who cannot defend themselves. She commands a squad of [[Female Autobots]], and has their undying trust and support.

While her pistol is powerful enough to blast [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] out of the air in one shot (!), her greatest power is her ability to briefly stop time. Sadly, this ability drains all of her [[spark|life force]], and is almost assuredly fatal, and thus she only uses it in the direst of situations.

When the situation calls for it, she consults the wise [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]],via a holographic message machine. Alpha Trion is actually her creator, though this fact is unknown to her.

==Fiction==

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Marlene Aragon]] (English); [[Kazue Komiya]] (Japanese), [[Eiko Yamada]] (Ariel, Japanese)

[[image:ArielWarDawn1.jpg |thumb|left|200px|Robots with plunging necklines...somehow.]]

Nine million years ago, during the Golden Age of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], there lived a female robot named Ariel, the girlfriend of dock worker Orion Pax. She'd heard that the new "[[Decepticon|flying robots]]" that Orion and and his friend [[Dion]] admired had put together an army and attacked one of Cybertron's outer cities, but Dion laughingly dismissed her as gullible.

One of those "flying robots"—[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]—raided the energy storage facility Orion worked at with his [[transport drone]]s. While Megatron was in the midst of an assault on Orion, Ariel tried to stop him, only to be gunned down herself, by Megatron.

Fortunately for all involved, the time-lost [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] brought the deactivated Orion to [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] for repairs, who recreated the young robot as the first of Cybertron's new defenders—Optimus Prime. Prime and the Aerialbots then convinced Alpha Trion to try reconstructing Ariel; after agreeing to send some droids for her, Alpha Trion mused to himself that "Elita One" would be a good name for a female warrior. {{Storylink|War Dawn}}

[[Image:Elita one.jpg|thumb|right|150px|GURL = PINK on Cybertron.]]

Five million years later, Elita One tried to board the [[Ark|Autobot starship]] as it took off on its mission to search for energy—wanting to go with Optimus—but she was seemingly destroyed while the ship was attacked during takeoff. {{Storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

{{note|In the original pilot, the Ark did not appear to be under attack as it launched. The Ark being attacked and Elita One's presence as it took off constitues a [[retcon]].}}

But Elita One did not perish. About four million years later, she was in command of a team of [[Female Autobots]], including [[Chromia]], [[Firestar]], and [[Moonracer]], who had been raiding [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[energon]] supplies in secret for an unknown length of time. Their existence was revealed thanks to Moonracer's carelessness, which subsequently lead to Elita's One capture by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and the destruction of their secret base by [[Rumble]].

Way to go, Moonracer.

Elita was used as bait to lure Optimus Prime into a trap, where he too was captured—and was soon on the block for execution in a vat of acid. Desperate to save her beloved, Elita triggered her time-stopping power, which allowed her to save Prime... but expended nearly all her life-force doing so.

[[Image:ElitaVehicle01.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Yeah, this is all you see.]]

After getting them both out of Decepticon Headquarters, Optimus was able to track Alpha Trion to his secret base. The ancient Autobot repaired Elita to the best of his ability, but revealed to Optimus Prime that only '''he''' could save Elita by interfacing to her with his power filter. An astonished Optimus Prime stated that only his CREATOR could know that!

{{note|Optimus Prime had apparently forgotten that Alpha Trion '''was''' his creator, although he seemed to know that Alpha Trion created Elita One, making a knowing comment when Elita said that Alpha Trion was like a father to her. Which is really kind of creepy when you think about it.}}

After Elita One was re-energized, she and Prime arrived in time to save both a group of Earth-based Autobots who had followed Prime to Cybertron and Elita's own troops from certain death at the hands of the Decepticons. Notably, Elita shot Shockwave out of the air with a single blast from her pistol.

With their original secret base in ruins, Alpha Trion quickly set the female Autobots up with a new one, full of advanced equipment.

Though regretful that they'd be apart again so soon, Elita One elected to stay behind on Cybertron and continue the fight at home while Optimus and the other Autobots returned to the war on Earth. Of course, this didn't prevent her from telling him not to stay away TOO long... {{Storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

===MC Axis Kit mini-comic===
Elita One and her team toppled a colossal Decepticon warrior. Though her team was jubilant at their victory, Elita knew that this one victory was far from enough to win the war, and longed for Prime to return so they could re-take their homeworld.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Elita One and the other female Autobots were an elite squad of warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s, waiting for intel from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].

{{note|[[Dreamwave]] filed for bankruptcy and stopped producing Transformers books right as the female Autobots arc was beginning.}}

Elita One is part of Grimlock's crew on the ''[[Graviton (Classics)|Graviton]]''. After following [[Bug Bite]]'s crew of Decepticons to Earth, she fights her way into the Decepticon base herself with radical [[Circuit-Su|martial arts]]. She is so totally awesome, what anyone else does isn't really that important, apparently. {{storylink|Games of Deception}}

: Exclusive to [http://www.bigbadtoystore.com Big Bad Toystore.com], this bust of Elita One is limited to 600 pieces worldwide. The sculpt is based upon her cartoon appearance, though some creative liberties have been taken, such as the fact she carries a large rifle that is similar in design to Optimus Prime's instead of the small pistol in her fictional appearances.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Generations-CybertronBattle.jpg|thumb|250px|Click to enlarge!]]

*Elita One's name shares the same root meaning as Optimus Prime's... "Best First". For many years, the actual spelling of her name was the subject of much fandom debate. The MC Axis kit finally gave her name the current spelling, and was later backed up by episode scripts. Elita is s presumably derived from "elite," which comes from the Latin ''electa'', meaning "chosen". So her name translates as Chosen One, which makes sense as she was the one Alpha Trion chose to gift the special power and to lead the Femmes.

* A Cybertronian battle scene in ''[[Comic Bom-Bom]]'' (reprinted in ''[[Transformers Generations]]'') depicts Elita One fighting the Decepticons alongside other pre-Earth Autobots.

* According to writer [[David Wise]], he did ''not'' intend for Ariel to be rebuilt as Elita One when writing "[[War Dawn]]".[http://web.archive.org/web/20040806162116/iesb.net/collecting/collecting63004.htm] Whether Ariel was originally supposed to die or if she was supposed to be rebuilt into someone else is unknown.

* Elita One's alt-mode has never been depicted in its entirety. As shown above, only the very front end is seen, as the rest is hidden by Optimus Prime's truck mode. It looks a little like a mish-mash of the [[alt mode]]s of [[Wheelie]] and [[Arcee]].

* In the ''War Within'' graphic novel, Elita One's silhouette is depicted on Optimus's mudflap in vehicle mode, similar to the "naked lady" silhouette decal seen on modern vehicles.

* If we think about it, since Optimus and Elita One have the same creator, they are, in some way, brother and sister, which just makes their relationship look plain weird. (Well, [[Kiss Players|maybe not in Japan]].) The events of War Dawn show that Orion Pax and Ariel existed as non-siblings before they were remade into Optimus Prime and Elita One, but still...

*Her appearance in the ''Classics'' continuity is apparently designed with a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]] in mind.

United States of America

2007-10-16T03:44:43Z

165.166.31.249: /* Marvel Comics continuity */

[[Image:OptimusUSA1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Darn illegal immigrants...]]

The '''United States of America''' is a nation-state on the planet [[Earth]]. It is considered to be one of the world's two "superpowers," along with its rival, the [[Soviet Union]]. The American government is headed by a [[President of the United States|president]]. Interaction between that government and Transformers operating on Earth is a near inevitablity in most dimensions of the multiverse, although whether that relationship is friendly, adversarial, or somewhere in between varies.

==Generation 1==
===Animated continuity===
After the initial Decepticon threat was repulsed, [[Spike Witwicky]] wrote in his journal that "all of the world's governments" were assisting the Autobots' attempts to return to Cybertron. This would presumably include the United States.

===Marvel Comics continuity===

:''(Note: Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)''
''Not long after awakening on Earth, the Autobots sought to forge an alliance with the human authorities. They contacted the US Government asking for a meeting with the [[President of the United States]] to discuss matters. Their offer was accepted and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] traveled to [[Washington, D.C.]] to visit the [[White House]].''

''Unfortunately [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] intercepted a human communication giving details of the meeting. Unwilling to risk an Autobot-Human alliance, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] activated the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]<ref>This clashes somewhat with later continuity when the Insecticons are shown to be on Cybertron</ref> and sent them to Washington to sabotage the talks.''

''The Insecticons attacked at just the moment that Optimus Prime and the President met. They attempted to discredit the Autobots by pledging to destroy in the name of Optimus Prime. They then headed for the city and began to cause mindless destruction''

''Horrified, Optimus Prime led Prowl and Warpath in a counter attack that eventually drove the Insecticons away. Prime then decided that the humans would never believe that the Insecticons were not Autobots and leaves Washington to go back to the [[Ark]].''

''The President meanwhile was initially convinced that the Autobots had been set up and allowed them to deal with the Insecticons themselves. When the Autobots then failed to return, the President concluded that he had made a mistake and misjudged the Autobots’ good intentions. He vowed never to make that mistake again.''

''After this the Autobots’ relations with the US Government continued to deteriorate.'' The Government assigned the shadowy organization [[Intelligence and Information Institute|Triple-I]] to find a way to protect the public from the Transformer threat. Triple-I engaged the Transformers on a number of occasions, although it was usually the Autobots who came off worse.

Over time tensions seemed to ease, mainly due to the efforts of [[G.B. Blackrock]] who on several occasions attempted to convince the authorities of the truth of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict.

This ultimately seemed to meet with some success leading to Blackrock forming the [[Neo-Knights]], a group of superhumans that the President then sent to attack a battling [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] just before they were transported back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Primus]]. As this led to most Transformers being removed from the planet, tensions were finally eased.

165.166.31.249: /* Trivia */

{{disambig2|the McDonald's exclusive toy/character|the company that released many Transformers DVDs|Kid Rhino}}

:''Rhino is a [[Maximal]] in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:McRhino.jpg|thumb|250px|I may have to crap my own legs to transform, but at least I'm not [[:Image:Rallnox.JPG|Rally's Rhinox]].]]

'''Rhino''' turns into a Rhino. No, he's not [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]].

A Maximal ground soldier, his main attack is a body-ramming slam. Prairie fighting is his specialty, but he's not good in confined spaces.

==Toys==
*'''Rhino''' (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 1996)

: Part of the first McDonald's ''Beast Wars'' promotion, Rhino transforms into a rhinoceros. His head bears a striking resemblance to the "mutant head" of the original Rhinox toy.

Talk:Optimus Prime (G1)

2007-07-14T05:40:53Z

165.166.31.249: /* Old crap */

==Splitting==
I am proposing that we split Optimus Prime's toy section off into a separate article - "See list of Optimus Prime (G1) toys" or something equivalent, as Wikipedia does. The article as a whole is really long and is only going to get longer, and it seems like a logical place for a split. Thoughts? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 11:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

:As long as I get to create it, since I largely wrote the toy section myself. You're not stealing my pointless Internet Glory, you jerkfaces. You have the faces of several jerks! --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

::I vote [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys]], rather than List of X. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
:::A disambig ''prior'' to the end of the article? That's crazy-talk!
:::(Of course, the alternative is Optimus Prime toys (G1), which is just plain wrong.) -[[User:69.88.91.218|69.88.91.218]] 16:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Shall I create the new article now? I think its moot if Walky (an admin) votes in favour of it. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::Alright, I made the G1 Prime toy article anyway, since scrolling down to make edits in the big Prime page is annoying, and I always need to check to see how pics I use in one section affect the section before or after. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

==Old crap==
I vote that we keep this article blank untill the last possible moment

This isn't a democracy, X-BoB. It's the Internet.
You fail at wiki.

I think this article should be done as soon as possible. Because of, y'know its massive importance and stuff.
[[User:BeastWarrior|BeastWarrior]] 08:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't we refeare to Optimus Prime as Convoy in the articles on the JPN shows?

Sentenial Prime shouldn't be in the first paragraphs, as he's not in all contuities
JMO-X-BoB58

It warrants discussion - after all, he is the most powerful of the Go-Bots...
* save that for Bayformers.

==Dreamwave Continuity==
The article says: "Optimus Prime started life as Optronix (Orion to his friends)"

Does anyone have an issue reference for this (the Orion part)? I admit that my DW knowledge isn't too great, but I don't recall this.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 15:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

It's from the Keepers Trilogy. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 17:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
:That explains it, then. I don't really consider the Keepers Trilogy as canon, never having bothered to read it. However, since it ''is'' official, it's appropriate here.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 17:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

::Cannon's a touch call witht he Keepers Trilogy. The Optronix thing, for isntance, was originalyl drafter for Optimus Prime's MtMtE profile (IIRC) but the MTMTE thing was drasticly re-tooled midway through, and so it didn't make it intot he entry-- but apparently Scott Ciencen had access to a draft of it which he used for Prime's backstory.

::As for the Keepers Trilogy's overall continuity... it doesn't mesh any WORSE than the first Dreamwave mini-series. (Faint praise though that be.) Plus it made some definite motions to align itself mroe closely to the comcis co ntinuity at the endof the 3rd book. ...and if I remember my timeline right, Superion's head showed up in Anihilation before it would have been written into TF#0. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

==Stuff==
"Auntie" was, so far as I know, not an acronym. As well, it was definitely the name for the Ark's computer in the US, so I removed the italics as I didn't think those events/reasonings were UK-specific.

As well, the Intraformers competition is not from the UK - it's from Sureshot's Transformers: Universe profile. But as I didn't look it up yet, I wasn't sure if I should un-italize the mention of "before he was named Optimus Prime" that's mentioned with it. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 03:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

:Marvel continuity, from the intraformers sharpshooting competition arose, never had a 'pre optimus Prime.' He was always just Optimus Prime. (And was called such even when a junior officer, as seen in the Underbase saga.)
:Optimus Prime was a gifted athlete beginning to study for a medical profession when the war broke out. Presumably the shooting competition was part of Prime's athlete days- shooting is an Olympic sport after all. (Well,part of one.)
:If you want to split the difference on the entry, I suggest changing 'before he was named Optimsu Prime' to either ''before the war began'' or ''before the war began in earnest.'' The latter is only loosely justified by the text of comics continuities (the city-ststes had standaign armies and apparently fought- the great games were suppsoed to be a formalized sublimation of this) but it does have the marit of fitting well with War Dawn (and thus fits the new post* continuities which've come along that smosh both continuities together) without actually being '''wrong''' in the context of its original occourence. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 03:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
::And it's not like civilians don't do shooting sports as a hobby or anything. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 04:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== Beast Wars Primal ==

Do we want to include the BW Bat Primal and the first MUNKY Primal as toys of Prime? In all one piece of media Bat Primal appeared in, he was definintly Prime with a new name, and the same can be said for Ultra MUNKY's specs. I can't remember if it's been brought up before, but if it has, I can't find it.
: It's been a topic of discussion, but I think most of it has kept to IRC so far. The red/blue "Convobat" from Japan may even have text on the back that says it's the original Prime, and the purple alligator Megatron that came with it has text that mentions a Walther P38, but we haven't pursued further translation. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
::Actually, we did, and it specifically says on both of them that they used to have those modes and are now animals. The problem, of course, is whether that makes them any more "really" Prime and Megatron than the US versions, or for that matter the Ultra toys in either country. Remember that Japan didn't even get a yes-or-no on whether they were the same guys until Metals. My personal preference would probably be to consider all of them Primal and BW Megs toys, despite how much I want the CD guys to be the G1 characters, or else we get into a bizarre continuum of "bat is Prime/ape is both/TM is Primal" which is confusing and not helpful, I think. -[[User:LV|LV]] 01:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

== Kiss Players ==

This bio says the EDC was bringing Convoy's remains from the battle of Autobot City. I hadnt' seen this in any of the other stuff i read, so could someone confirm that for me? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 04:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
: That info was put in by Swift, who seriously knows his Kiss Players stuff. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

::Thank you Walky. To express my gratitude, I shall try to be less of a dumbass in the future. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that reputation, but I suppose I brought it on myself. And yeah, lots of KP story material places it as a direct follow-up to the movie.--[[User:Swift|Swift]] 16:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Follows the movie- but not trying to be compatale with season 3, right? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
::::Wait, naughty-surfer Marissa Fairborne. That was a stupid question. '''I recind it!''' -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::I think it helps that Japanese season 3 takes place 4 years after this, since it's all up in 2010 instead of 2006. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

==Pudding==
MSTF running gag. "First darkness... then... light... then, pudding, I don't know why." Since then, PUDDING has come up in regards to Prime a bit frequently. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 00:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

== Parody trivia ==

I don't think we should include in trivia (or anywhere else) all statements done in all the parody. I know the family Guy Jewish Prime is notorious, but if we start including that, we should as well mention Prime turned a movie for prostate cancer prevention. I think canon is difficult enough to determine by itself.
Also, if we had to seriously think about Optimus's religious orientation, he is most probably a [[Primus]] believer. Unless being Jewish for a transformers is about not believing [[Rodimus Prime]] is the new Primus incarnation, but in that case, most of the Transformers are probably Jewish.

:: ... who the fuck put that in there? The idea of Family Guy being TF canon has made me physically ill, thank you. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Prime Target (G1)

2007-07-14T02:05:35Z

165.166.31.249: /* Detailed synopsis */

{{cleanup|July 2007}}

'''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (cartoon)#Season 2|Season 2]]'''

The big-game hunter [[Lord Chumley]] begins hunting Autobots.

==Detailed synopsis==

At the start we see a female Russian pilot testing out her country's new Jet over the North Pole. She is suddenly attacked and forced to ejected. The only thing we see is a mysterious shape under the ice stealing the Russian jet.
The scene the moves to a remote castle where Lord Chumley and his clumsley Butler are admiring all their throphies, which are all veichles from various contries including the stolen Russian jet. Chumley however wants a bigger prize in which his butler suggests the space shuttle. Chumley, however, has something bigger in mind. He plans to hunt down Optimus Prime and mount his head on a wall ( He even had it all prepared with a wall frame stating 'insert head here'!)
Meanwhile Bumblebee and Tracks are patrolling the city and notice on the news that Russia is accusing America of stealing their new jet. The two Autobots then spot Astrotrain and Blitzwing and chase them into an alleyway. However they appear to be illusions and are captured by Lord Chumley. Chumley's plan was to kidnap (or Autobotnap) Prime's friends so he could lure him to his castle. And somehow he manages to capture some of them in the most bizarre traps. For example he captures Blaster using an electronic Billboard?! He even tried to capture Hoist with a lamp post! He even impressed Megatron who orders Astrotrain and Bliztwing to go and meet Chumley to ask for an alliance.
Optimus Prime, like any other respected leader, is worried about his missing comrades and for once doesn't think its the Decepticons. Cosmos then radios in Prime to show him that the captured Autobots are subjected to torture. Chumley then intercepts Cosmos signal by inviting Prime to his castle. Prime agrees and, just to show how very angry he was, sent an overload feedback causing Chumley's monitor to explode.
At the castle Prime is tauted by Chumley and is attacked by a large lizard. Prime defeats him and Chumley tries to bag Prime in a net. Prime dodged it and shouts back to Chumley that it will take more than a net to stop him. However the second net sends Prime to the ground but he escapes using a chain and an electrical tower.
Now Astrotrain and Bliztwing arrive on the scene and start to follow Prime. Prime now comes across something so original...a crying damsel in a torn pink dress. But Prime isn't stupid and leaves her. Of course the Decepticons don't have brains and in attempt to crush the damsel, Bliztwing gets his foot caught in a trap and is now covered in a green goo that prevents him from moving and talking.
Astrotrain can't free Bliztwing and continues following Prime. Now Prime is up against a giant robot scorpion with a T.V monitor showing Lord Chumley's face (where the hell does he get this stuff from?) and Prime is forced into combat. Astrotrain fires at Prime causing to black out. Chumley is now mad that he didn't get the honor of killing Prime himself and attacks Astrotrain. Believing Prime is dead and now worthless, leaves him and takes the two Decepticons to his castle.
Astrotrain and Blitzwing tell Chumley that they were here to lend a hand but Chumley says he's got plans for them. The captured Autobots said that they've done nothing wrong and want to be released but Chumley says that they had to pay the price. Bumblebee then tries to contact Prime, who is not dead, and gives him a homing signal.
Lord Chumley sees Prime heading for the castle and is rejoiced that his game his still alive and ready for killing. The next challenge Prime has to face is...(will someone please tell me he he affords this stuff?)...a giant robot black widow...didn't see that coming. Prime defeats it and continues to rescue his comrades and he is very ticked off. Chumley then uses his last secret weapon! Which turns out to be...(oh this is ridiculous) a giant revolving room (sarcastic wow). This prime also destroys and now he is mad. Chumley's last resort is the aid of the two Decepticons who turn on him rather then helping.
However Prime had freed his friends and the Decepticons retreat. Prime then says to leave them and that Chumley was the trophy he wanted.
In Russia a Russian Soldier finds the stolen jet with Chumley tied to it. As the Autobots roll for home the Russians have called off the threats and the world thanks Optimus Prime.
