Elita-Infin1te is an Autobot Combiner from the Power of the Primes portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Ceiling Elita is watching you flee.

When Elita One combines with four other of her fellow Autobots, she becomes the mighty Elita-Infin1te! Or maybe four other Decepticons, or a mix, it's not really clear.

Elita One can also form Orthia by combining with a specific few of her Female Autobots.

Toys

Power of the Primes

Look, if Optimus Prime gets to have a bigger version of his own head for his combiner mode, then so do I!
  • Elita-1 (Voyager Class, 2018)
  • 4 x compatible Deluxe Class figures
Power of the Primes Elita-Infin1te can ostensibly be formed by attaching any four Combiner Wars-style Deluxe Class figures to Power of the Primes Voyager Class Elita-1.
As a Power of the Primes combiner, a Prime Master, Matrix core, or Enigma can be installed within Elita-Infin1te's chest, hands, or feet, such as the "Autobot Enigma" that comes packed with Elita-1.
Power of the Primes was notoriously muddy on information about "intended" layouts for Combiner teams. While the Dinobots and Terrorcons were pre-established teams who received complete coverage, no such luck exists for Elita-Infin1te! The following is a summary of every recorded configuration... though we'll note that while the instructions are largely arbitrary, the packaging art components are all Autobots.

  • Slug
  • Snarl
  • Moonracer
  • Jazz

Notes

  • Elita-Infin1te was verbally named by Hasbro at their New York Toy Fair 2018 panel (though this name never appeared on any printed material). By contrast, the Starscream Combiner and the Inferno Combiner had no such luck.
  • Deluxe Class Novastar's packaging showing Elita Infin1te's art[3] pointed to Novastar being the out-of-frame right arm, but this was not confirmed until line-artist Robby Musso posted an uncropped view.
  • The difference between Elita-Infin1te and Orthia (the former being any random combination that has Elita One as its torso whilst the latter is a combination of Elita with four specific female Autobots) mirrors the distinction between Ultra Prime and Optimus Maximus, and possibly also between Betatron and Computron.

  1. ↑ Elita-Infin1te's right arm is obscured out of view on the packaging art, but line-artist Robby Musso eventually posted an uncropped view depicting the Moonracer mold as the drawn limb in question. Since Moonracer is already a component and it's on retool Novastar's package, it's probably her - but enough weird things have gone on with these Combiners that we can't say for absolute certain!
  2. ↑ It was always apparent that Elita-Infin1te's second leg was also using the Power of the Primes Jazz mold, but the precise deco is almost completely obscured by both the cropped view and strong lighting. The later release of Generations Selects Ricochet lines up pretty well with how dark the limb looks... but every other Power of the Primes Combiner's package art features only toys released during its span, so it's entirely possible the intended play pattern was to buy two different Jazz figures at some point!?
