"Lancer" redirects here. For other uses of the word, see Lancer (disambiguation).
Lancer is an Autobot from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
We barely even knew her!

Lancer, back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. She's thought about putting in an application at the Elite Guard, but she always gets too nervous.

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

The Transformers cartoon

Check out my shoulder!

Lancer is a member of the Female Autobots. She was holding a clipboard within 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 Greenlight 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

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

Lancer was understudy to the archaeometrist, Glyph. She and her friend Greenlight worked with Glyph on an historical dig in Median alongside Flip Sides and Strika. When they uncovered some potentially life-threatening treasures, the historians requested support from the Elite Guard in case the Decepticons showed interest in their find. Lancer was thrilled at the idea, and eagerly made friends with the proud warriors who arrived to defend them. She joined Strika in working alongside the Elite Guard when the Decepticon Stormtroopers made their attempt to raid Median's dig. Lancer acted as a lure, drawing the Decepticons in through a hole in the fortifications, where the Elite Guard were waiting to ambush them.

The thrill of the situation faded for Lancer when Rage and Aquablast penetrated the inner perimeter and reached the spot where the other historians were hiding. Aquablast killed Glyph for being uncooperative and was about to kill Greenlight as well. Lancer was forced to shoot him in the back, killing an enemy in the line of duty.

Briefly shaken up by the incident, Lancer still chose to join the Elite Guard in pursuing Rage and the other Decepticons after they made off with the Heart of the Dragon. They managed to infiltrate the Metrotitan and survived battle with Brimstone, the Heart of the Dragon given life and form. After the mission concluded, Lancer returned to Strika and Greenlight, and together they planned a memorial service for the fallen Glyph. Flames of Yesterday

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

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Comrade Napoleon Obsidian is always right!

Lancer served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan Carcer, under the command of Elita One. During a recent roll call, Lancer opted not to pay attention, instead focusing her attention (and hands) onto Greenlight. This earned the couple the mind-numbing job of guarding Carcer's spacebridge. Greenlight complained that no one had come through the portal in weeks, and wasn't even sure that the two combatants who had briefly fallen through the spacebridge were even Cybertronian. Lancer assured her that Obsidian had said they were, and he never lied. Proving Lancer correct, the spacebridge activated! As she quickly radioed the ship's bridge, her partner, along with several of their shipmates, trained their weapons on the arriving 'bots. 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, Lancer among them. She and Greenlight were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a drunk Decepticon began harassing 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


Notes

  • Lancer was only known as the "unnamed orange Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the Timelines text story, "Flames of Yesterday", as well as 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 IDW continuity, Lancer and Greenlight are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a Transformers story, though Proxima and Acceleron were the first mentioned.
