- The Cybertron Elite Guard is a distinguished team of Autobots in the Animated and Generation 1 continuity families. It is also known as the Autobot Elite Guard.
The Cybertron Elite Guard is the pinnacle of the Autobot military force, reserved for only the most distinguished graduates of the Autobot Academy. Its members are specialists, masters in their fields, and the unit is only called upon in the most dire of situations. It reports directly to the Supreme Commander of the Autobots. It also engages in some pretty shady business from time to time, to experimenting on other Autobots, create weapons of mass destruction, all the way to hiring unscrupulous bounty hunters.
Fiction
Animated cartoon
The Elite Guard served under the direct command of Ultra Magnus. The term "Prime" designated an officer's rank within the Elite Guard, while "Magnus" was used for the rank of the Elite Guard commander.
Members
- Ultra Magnus (Supreme Commander)
- Jazz
- Blurr (Member of Cybertron Intelligence)
- Sentinel Prime
- Jetfire
- Jetstorm
- Safeguard (Combined form of Jetstorm and Jetfire)
- Warpath
Former Members
- Optimus Prime - Demoted to space bridge repair.
- Longarm Prime - Promoted away from active duty.
Optimus Prime somehow left/was kicked out of the Guard for reasons unknown. He was then reassigned to space bridge repair duty.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead also registered to join the Guard. After Bumblebee and Bulkhead accidentally destroyed part of a simulated battlezone and injured their drill sergeant Sentinel Minor, they were both given the boot and reassigned to space bridge repair duty. Autoboot Camp
After seeing Optimus Prime save them from an incident on the asteroid they were working on, Bumblebee commented that with moves like that, Prime should have gone into the Cybertron Elite Guard. Gee, way to rub salt in the wound, there, Bumblebee... Transform and Roll Out!
Shortly after the battle with Megatron, the Elite Guard arrived to retrieve the AllSpark. (Great timing, guys.) Upon learning that the AllSpark had been dispersed, Ultra Magnus confined Optimus Prime's crew to the Elite Guard's ship while he, Sentinel Prime, and Optimus Prime went to investigate Optimus' vessel, where the battle had taken place. When trouble at a Sumdac Systems manufacturing plant was detected, the Autobots and Elite Guard managed to hold off the malfunctioning police drones being made there long enough to allow Optimus, Prowl, and Jazz to get Sari Sumdac to the assembly line and shut it down. The Elite Guard
After an extended period with no evidence of a Decepticon presence on Earth, Magnus was prepared to gather up the Autobots and ship out back to Cybertron. He urged Optimus to testify as to his experiences on Earth to calm the general fears of Megatron still being alive. When he protested that Megatron was still alive and that he'd be falsifying evidence, Sentinel angrily stated that nobody was asking him to lie, just to agree with his (in his humble opinion quite excellent) scans showing there were no Decepticons on earth. Besides, Sentinel cajoled, if he smoothed things over with Cybertron Command Optimus might just be able to be reinstated into the Elite Guard. Mission Accomplished
Blurr was left on Earth to try and find the Decepticon base and keep an eye on Optimus's crew. However, Master Disaster, with the help of an AllSpark-powered remote control, forced Blurr to do his bidding until Sari stole the remote from him. A Bridge Too Close, Part II Velocity
The Elite Guard oversaw the extraction of flight technology from Starscream to create Jetfire and Jetstorm, who managed to join the ranks of the Elite Guard in record time. Rise of Safeguard

Notes
- Despite Shockwave's on-package bio saying that, as Longarm, he rose through the ranks of the Elite Guard to reach his current position, Derrick Wyatt has informed the wiki that Longarm is not actually a member of the group in the cartoon. This is borne out by the fact that Longarm lacks the Elite Guard's winged Autobot symbol.
