'''Sari Sumdac''', the adopted daughter of robotics genius [[Isaac Sumdac]], doesn't get out much. She spends all her time within her father's laboratories, receiving her education from robots. Despite this, she doesn't seem like a shut-in. She's curious, excitable, adventurous, and knows that crying can sometimes get her what she wants. She just doesn't know what it's like to be around other kids. Fortunately, she has [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] to help with that, whom she claims is the best friend she's ever had.

The key around her neck has miraculous powers from the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], but her guardian, the robotic dog [[Sparkplug (Animated)|Sparkplug]], thinks it's just another chew toy.

When her pet robot dog, Sparkplug, stole her security key card, Sari chased it outside and was confronted by [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], who spoke to her as if she were Sparkplug's pet. Naturally, she freaked out, but quickly befriended Bumblebee once he saved her from a giant bug that had grown from her father's nanite experiment gone awry. Stowing away on Bumblebee and coming aboard the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'', she came across the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], which infused part of its power into her security key. This allowed her to heal [[Transformer]]s, such as the injured [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], earning her brownie points with the 'Bots. She also managed to talk the police down from shooting the Autobots, saying they were friendly (except [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who was grumpy, but not evil). Sari later helped teach the Autobots about [[Earth]] and [[human]]s.

During the unveiling of her father's new transit system, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] arrived and attacked. Bumblebee took a shot meant for Sari, allowing Starscream to capture him, Professor Sumdac, the Mayor, and [[Captain Fanzone]]. Sari came up with the idea to distract Starscream while she and Prowl rescued the others (even faking some tears to make it happen). Her key later saved [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s life when she used it to revive his [[spark]]. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Sariprime.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Prime was never the same after this.]]

*Although it's only whispered, Sari is the first person to explain human [[reproduction]] to a Transformer. Optimus Prime looked very shocked by the explanation.
*Despite the fact that other children haven't fared too well with Transformers [[Fandom|fans]], Sari has been reasonably well liked, more so then usual.
*Unused animation from an early version of the series' opening credits showed Sari using a tricycle that transformed into a jetpack. This item has yet to surface in the series itself.

The '''Transformers Animated''' toy line merges the more fluid, expressive design style of the [[Transformers Animated|cartoon]] with extremely poseable robot forms (to a degree which seemed pleasantly surprising even to [[Hasbro]]). Unlike the [[franchise]]s immediately before it, there is no overarcing, line-wide [[gimmick]] such as [[Mini-Con]]s or [[Cyber Planet Key]]s; rather, transforming ''is'' the gimmick, and toys will have other special features that are unique and appropriate to the characters they depict (such as [[Blitzwing (Animated)|triple-changing]], or [[Ratchet (Animated)|interchangable weaponry]]). While the designs originated with Hasbro and the [[Cartoon Network]] team, [[TakaraTomy]] is once again stepping up to the plate to engineer the toys. The line was first previewed on July 1, 2007, in Hasbro's Future Products panel at [[BotCon 2007|BotCon]].

Hasbro has, citing the strength of the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]] toyline, [[Ruined FOREVER|postponed]] the release of the Animated toyline to June 2008 in the US.
