:''Minerva is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

Having been trained as a medic on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Fixit (Animated)|Fixit]], '''Minerva''' was dispatched to [[Earth]] for some actual experience in the field under the tutelage of [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]. While en route to the Autobot's base in [[Detroit]], however, she went off course and crash-landed in [[Quebec]], [[Canada]]. Scanning a Japanese car for an [[alternate mode]], she made contact with its female teenage driver, and learned that despite what was being said on Cybertron, organics weren't so bad after all! This first human friendship has led her to become just as comfortable hanging around [[Sari Sumdac|human girls]] as her fellow Earth-bound Autobots are.

''Warpath accompanied Minerva as she stalked [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], Cybertron's newest hero. Unlike everyone else, however, she wasn't interested in Optimus himself, but in getting in with his associate, [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]. She was determined to be his protege at any stalkery cost.''

She appeared in the audience for [[Motormaster (Animated)|The Motor Master]]'s Stunt Convoy show. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}

*'''Minerva''' (Deluxe, [[BotCon 2011]] customization class)
**''Accessories:'' Two swords
:Minerva is a [[redeco]] of ''Animated'' [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], available only in the customization class at BotCon 2011. During the class, the toy was assembled, painted and stickered by participants. She continues the trend begun with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] the previous year of actually being cast in new colors of plastic (in this case, red, white and grey instead of magenta, off-white and black), and even comes with two unique new pieces sculpted from resin: a set of ear-antennae matching those in [[Derrick J. Wyatt]]'s character model for Minerva, and an optional second set that replicate the appearance of the [[Minerva (Masterforce)|original Minerva]]'s antennae, designed by [[Jesse Wittenrich]]. The toy also comes with a [[Tech Spec]]s-style bio that was written by class organizer [[Shawn D. Tessmann]] and Wyatt.

==Notes==

* Minerva's landing in Quebec is a nod to the original Minerva's half-French heritage, while the Japanese car she scans pays homage to the character's Japanese roots. Of course, the girl involved in the whole process harkens back to the original Minerva actually ''being'' a human girl.
* Tessmann considers Minerva to be "more official" than previous years' customization class toys due to Wyatt's involvement.
* Abby Collins voiced Minerva with a Canadian [[accents|accent]], which makes sense, dontcha know.
* Shawn D. Tessmann used the same clear blue found on [[BotCon 2009]]'s [[Thunder Clash]] and gray from the same set's [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] for Minerva's color scheme. With the white and red coming from [[Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]].
