Greenlight attempted to transmit the all-clear for the Alphastrike's counterattack to commence, but her transmission was discovered by the Phantomstrike Squadron who corrupted its signal.

Inseparable from [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], Greenlight joined her friend outside the [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]] when she received a newborn to mentor. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

[[File:ArceeGreenlightRun-ArceeFamily.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Gauge has two mommies.]]
 
A xenobiologist, Greenlight fell in love with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] at some point after the end of the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] and the two set up a life together. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}} During [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s reign, Arcee was chosen to mentor a young Cybertronian and Greenlight joined her partner at the [[Forge Pyramid]] for the customary ceremony where [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]] introduced the pair to their ward, [[Gauge]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} Not long afterwards, Greenlight lent her biological knowledge to an investigation surrounding several murders in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], and assisted [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] with a forensic autopsy on the young Cybertronian [[Rubble]] and a dead [[Voin]]. The specialists agreed that both victims were struck with massive force, meaning they were likely killed by the same perpetrator. As Gauge was only a few days younger than Rubble, the investigation left Greenlight shaken and worried for the future of her own mentee. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One}}
 
Things only grew worse in the days that followed, which culminated in the destruction of the [[Memorial Crater]] and the explosive death of an immersant [[Titan (group)|Titan]]. Fearing that Cybertron would no longer be safe for Gauge, Greenlight looked for a way off-world and learned that [[Heretech]]'s [[Reversionist]] faction planned to leave the planet aboard the starship ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]''. While Gauge apprenticed herself to [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], Greenlight raised her concerns to a reluctant Arcee, but had to assuage Gauge's concerns when the little 'bot overheard some malicious rumors about her forging. The situation soon spiraled out of control after [[The Rise]] attacked the [[Winged Moon]], sending the [[Tether]] crashing down on top of Iacon. In the chaos that followed, Arcee agreed with Greenlight's plan to leave their homeworld as soon as possible. The two made for the launch site and just barely managed to board the ship in time before it took off. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}
 
[[File:DarknessOnceGazedUponPart2 GreenlightArceeGauge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Family hug time!!!]]
 
Almost immediately after the ''Exodus'' had taken flight however, both Greenlight and Arcee, as non-believers, were locked up while Gauge, still young enough to be reprogrammed, was taken away from them. Greenlight eventually hit on the idea of using the ship's systems to transmit a message to Gauge. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth}} The gambit paid off, with Gauge soon reuniting with them. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth: Part One}} Arcee and Greenlight provided Gauge with a [[Cortical psychic patch|psychic patch]] that allowed the youth to regain her memories before drawing her ward's attention to her discovery that the Reversionists were planning something, asking Gauge to figure it out. After Gauge went off, Arcee and Greenlight managed to free themselves just as their mentee returned with a flock of angry guards. After the family put them down, they were horrified to discover that the promised land [[Heretech]] would "cleanse" was none other than Cybertron itself. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth}}
 
With Gauge acting as an inside woman, Arcee and Greenlight made their way back to Cybertron's surface, reuniting with their charge when she found herself facing off against an irate Heretech. A demolition derby soon occurred which ended when Gauge lobbed an [[energon crystal]] at Heretech's drill, detonating it and immobilizing him. With peace forged between the Reversionists and the Cybertronian race, Greenlight and Arcee led their charge back to her life on Cybertron. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}
 
Arcee, Greenlight, and Gauge chose to side with the Autobots, and moved into seclusion at [[Crystal City]]. They were worried when Arcee was tapped for a dangerous infiltration mission back into Iacon, but wished her well and told her to come home safe. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two}} Arcee survived, but was shot through the shoulder and injured. Her unit returned to Crystal City just ahead of the advancing Decepticon army. Arcee wanted to rush right back out into the thick of things, but Greenlight and Ratchet tried convincing her to heal first. Greenlight reminded her that she had responsibilities at home now, not just on the battlefield. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}}
 
Greenlight and Gauge boarded the last ''Ark'' at Darkmount while Arcee held off the Decepticons with her sniper partners. The family was seen together later on, listening to Optimus Prime's speech on the journey to the Winged Moon. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

Greenlight and her romantic partner Arcee were present when Optimus Prime discovered that Megatron had used a spacebridge to plunder the land of [[Equestria]] and accidentally unleashed the evil [[King Sombra]] on Cybertron as a result. {{storylink|The Magic of Cybertron}}
 
Some time later, Arcee and Greenlight ran across [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] who were seeking their niece, [[Scootaloo]]. Though Arcee readily offered her aid, a magically enthralled [[Killmaster]] arrived. Though both ponies and Autobots initially tried their hand at defeating the Decepticon, he was only defeated when Greenlight wrapped the ponies' yarn around him, which allowed Arcee to send him flying off. It was then that Scootaloo showed up, accompanied by a few Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults enjoyed a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

Greenlight is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
THREETWOONE

Greenlight, back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. But then the war came. Unlike before, when she could only abstractly mourn for the lives lost, it took the loss of a friend to make her realize that she, too, had a stake in the outcome.

Fiction

[edit]

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

[edit]

The Transformers cartoon

[edit]
She's the opposite of what happened to the Dark Universe.

Greenlight was a member of the Female Autobots, an underground resistance movement on Cybertron. Four million years ago, she and the other Female Autobots tried to board the Ark, but they failed and were thought destroyed until they were rediscovered in modern times.

Greenlight was manning a series of monitors in the team's secret underground headquarters when Chromia and her team returned from their energy-stealing mission. Later, when their headquarters was located and destroyed, she and Lancer freed Moonracer from the debris. Sticking with the rest of the team, she did her share in the fight against the Decepticons and could again later be seen manning a series of monitors in the team's new base. The Search for Alpha Trion

Wings Universe

[edit]
Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Greenlight and Lancer were amateur historians and the assistants of the archaeometrist named Glyph. They were assigned to Flipsides's excavation site in Median, where they uncovered a mysterious artifact known as the Heart of the Dragon. Unfortunately, Decepticon raiders from Quarex also learned of their discovery. The historians requested aid from the Autobot Elite Guard to defend themselves and their find. Greenlight helped Strika, Lancer and the Elite Guard fortify Median against Rage's Stormtroopers. Unlike her fellow neophyte Lancer, however, Greenlight showed no interest in engaging the enemy. She remained in hiding near the dig with Glyph and Flip Sides while the others fought off the Decepticons. Rage and Aquablast managed to infiltrate the defenses and reach the chamber where the historians were hiding, though, and Aquablast killed Glyph before Greenlight's optics. They were only saved by the last minute arrival of Lancer, wielding a borrowed laser weapon. Flames of Yesterday

When the Autobots' current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Greenlight joined her comrades still on Cybertron in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. Battle Lines, Part 6

First appearance: Windblade vol. 2 #7
>Be me

Greenlight served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan Carcer, under the command of Elita One. Having been unable to keep Lancer from getting too friendly during roll call, the two were assigned to guard Carcer's space bridge, as Cybertronians had recently come through it, violently clashing with each other. Greenlight grew increasingly bored, saying that no one had used the space bridge in weeks, and she wasn't really sure that actual Cybertronians had come through it. Lancer assured her that they had, and almost immediately after, the bridge activated. While Lancer radioed the bridge of the ship, Greenlight joined with the other reinforcements in "welcoming" Starscream and Windblade to their ship.The Will of the Few

After Carcer's inhabitants had joined the Council of Worlds, many of them emigrated to Cybertron while Carcer himself was being repaired, Greenlight among them. She and Lancer were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a drunk Decepticon harassed them. After Lancer told him he wasn't making any sense, Greenlight stated that the couple were from Carcer, anyway, and that he should get lost. 07:00:00

As she and Lancer were loitering, Carcer's sensors picked up an army of zombie Titans headed towards Cybertron, alerting Obsidian of the threat. Ping After Elita had refused to transform Carcer into robot mode, Lancer and Greenlight exchanged guilty glances but ultimately remained loyal to the First. Desperate Times When the Cybertronian fleet tried to claim Carcer by force, Greenlight and Lancer remained in the control room, reporting everything to Obsidian, including the hull breach that had sealed itself suspiciously fast. Desperate Measures

When Windblade awoke Carcer however, Cybertron learnt he was truly Vigilem, the Titan of Liege Maximo who had freed his master before dying. When Chromia was tasked to hunt down the rogue Prime, Greenlight and Lancer joined her aboard the Sabre. The Chosen One

Soon after heading out however, the trio came under attack from the Prime's Maximal enforcers, damaging their long range communications. By the time they'd repaired them, they were in G Nebula 89 as the Decepticon Vengeance Division squared off against Unicron. Despite their immense firepower, the Decepticon fleet failed to damage the Chaos Bringer, with Chromia ordering the ship back to Cybertron once Unicron teleported away. Stranger Eons When the trio returned however, Unicron had now assumed a towering robot mode and had sent the mutated DVD against the Autobot fleet defending the planet. Our Finest As Unicron began to tear into Cybertron however, the Spectral Knights used the magic of the Talisman to teleport the planet's population to the safe haven of Earth, the fleet following shortly afterwards thanks to Elita One's sacrifice.

[edit]
First appearance: Transformers #4
Gauge has two mommies.

A xenobiologist, Greenlight fell in love with Arcee at some point after the end of the War of the Threefold Spark and the two set up a life together. Arcee/Greenlight: Run During Sentinel Prime's reign, Arcee was chosen to mentor a young Cybertronian and Greenlight joined her partner at the Forge Pyramid for the customary ceremony where Orion Pax introduced the pair to their ward, Gauge. The World In Your Eyes Part Four Not long afterwards, Greenlight lent her biological knowledge to an investigation surrounding several murders in Iacon, and assisted Ratchet with a forensic autopsy on the young Cybertronian Rubble and a dead Voin. The specialists agreed that both victims were struck with massive force, meaning they were likely killed by the same perpetrator. As Gauge was only a few days younger than Rubble, the investigation left Greenlight shaken and worried for the future of her own mentee. The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One

Things only grew worse in the days that followed, which culminated in the destruction of the Memorial Crater and the explosive death of an immersant Titan. Fearing that Cybertron would no longer be safe for Gauge, Greenlight looked for a way off-world and learned that Heretech's Reversionist faction planned to leave the planet aboard the starship Exodus. While Gauge apprenticed herself to Grapple, Greenlight raised her concerns to a reluctant Arcee, but had to assuage Gauge's concerns when the little 'bot overheard some malicious rumors about her forging. The situation soon spiraled out of control after The Rise attacked the Winged Moon, sending the Tether crashing down on top of Iacon. In the chaos that followed, Arcee agreed with Greenlight's plan to leave their homeworld as soon as possible. The two made for the launch site and just barely managed to board the ship in time before it took off. Arcee/Greenlight: Run

Family hug time!!!

Almost immediately after the Exodus had taken flight however, both Greenlight and Arcee, as non-believers, were locked up while Gauge, still young enough to be reprogrammed, was taken away from them. Greenlight eventually hit on the idea of using the ship's systems to transmit a message to Gauge. Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth The gambit paid off, with Gauge soon reuniting with them. Gauging the Truth: Part One Arcee and Greenlight provided Gauge with a psychic patch that allowed the youth to regain her memories before drawing her ward's attention to her discovery that the Reversionists were planning something, asking Gauge to figure it out. After Gauge went off, Arcee and Greenlight managed to free themselves just as their mentee returned with a flock of angry guards. After the family put them down, they were horrified to discover that the promised land Heretech would "cleanse" was none other than Cybertron itself. Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth

With Gauge acting as an inside woman, Arcee and Greenlight made their way back to Cybertron's surface, reuniting with their charge when she found herself facing off against an irate Heretech. A demolition derby soon occurred which ended when Gauge lobbed an energon crystal at Heretech's drill, detonating it and immobilizing him. With peace forged between the Reversionists and the Cybertronian race, Greenlight and Arcee led their charge back to her life on Cybertron. Moment of Truth

Arcee, Greenlight, and Gauge chose to side with the Autobots, and moved into seclusion at Crystal City. They were worried when Arcee was tapped for a dangerous infiltration mission back into Iacon, but wished her well and told her to come home safe. Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two Arcee survived, but was shot through the shoulder and injured. Her unit returned to Crystal City just ahead of the advancing Decepticon army. Arcee wanted to rush right back out into the thick of things, but Greenlight and Ratchet tried convincing her to heal first. Greenlight reminded her that she had responsibilities at home now, not just on the battlefield. A Dust of Crystals

Greenlight and Gauge boarded the last Ark at Darkmount while Arcee held off the Decepticons with her sniper partners. The family was seen together later on, listening to Optimus Prime's speech on the journey to the Winged Moon. Fate of Cybertron

"You ever see that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back? You know that part where they're on the snow planet with the walking thingies?"

Greenlight and her romantic partner Arcee were present when Optimus Prime discovered that Megatron had used a spacebridge to plunder the land of Equestria and accidentally unleashed the evil King Sombra on Cybertron as a result. The Magic of Cybertron

Some time later, Arcee and Greenlight ran across Holiday and Lofty who were seeking their niece, Scootaloo. Though Arcee readily offered her aid, a magically enthralled Killmaster arrived. Though both ponies and Autobots initially tried their hand at defeating the Decepticon, he was only defeated when Greenlight wrapped the ponies' yarn around him, which allowed Arcee to send him flying off. It was then that Scootaloo showed up, accompanied by a few Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults enjoyed a picnic. A Real Mother

After Sombra's defeat, Greenlight and Pinkie Pie ran a quick headcount to make sure that his evil spell had been broken for good. Finale

Toys

[edit]

War for Cybertron: Siege

[edit]

>First toy is introduced in War For Cybertron: Siege.
>Has 5 mm holes removed from her forearms.
  • Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike (Multi-pack, 2019)
  • ID number: WFC-S15
  • Hidden message code: "LANCER"
  • Accessories: Prime Armor/combiner hand/"C-50 Sonic Electro-Armor", Prime Master gap filler/gun, "Dazzlestrike" Battle Master, slashing "Fire Blast" effect
For her first figure since her debut in 1985, Siege Greenlight is a retooling of Power of the Primes Moonracer/Novastar, transforming into a long Cybertronian car-thing. The extensive retooling includes a new headsculpt, the removal of the 5 mm ports and hinged wrists from her forearms (whyyyyyy?), and remolded chest, shins and feet. Unlike the Chromia toy released earlier in Siege, who merely resembles the Power of the Primes Moonracer mold, Greenlight is a functional Combiner Wars-style combiner limb component, allowing her to form an arm or leg for any Combiner Wars-style Combiner, though she is intended to combine with her mold-mates and Power of the Primes Elita One to form Orthia.
This set also includes Dazzlestrike, a redeco of Siege Lionizer with a new effect part.
In the U.S., Greenlight and Dazzlestrike were available only from Amazon. The pack was available at general retail in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
This mold was also retooled to make Lancer, and extensively retooled to make Tentakil and Scylla. Siege Chromia and Generations Selects Nightbird also reuse parts of the mold; specifically the wheels, thighs and hip ball joint sockets.

Notes

[edit]
  • Greenlight was only known as the "Unnamed Green Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the 2010 Timelines text story, "Flames of Yesterday", as were a handful of other previously-unnamed female Autobots.
  • The Club Udon special edition cover to G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War #2, which is dedicated to the ladies of the two brands, surprisingly features what appears to be Lancer with Greenlight's colors. This is the only instance during the 25 years between the airing of "The Search for Alpha Trion" and the publication of "Flames of Yesterday" that these characters have been referenced.
  • In the 2005-2018 IDW comic continuity, Greenlight and Lancer are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a Transformers story (though Proxima and Acceleron were the first mentioned).

Foreign names

[edit]
  • Japanese: Greenlight (グリーンライト Gurīnraito)
  • Hungarian: Zöldfény
