- Beta is a Autobot from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The gravelly-voiced Beta began existence as one of the Quintessons' many robotic slaves. She would not remain so. In the course of time she became a warrior, armed with a powerful crossbow weapon, and standing beside her partner A-3 she would be a leader in the rebellion that freed Cybertron from its Quintesson masters.

The night before the climactic battle with the Quintessons, Beta found that A-3 and his Coder Remote had gone missing. With the remote's ability to override the Dark Guardians necessary for a victory, Beta went searching for her missing counterpart. Though he was nowhere to be found she did stumble across a group of strange and powerful robots that improbably also wore the slave brand.
After rescuing them from a Dark Guardian, Beta secured their help in the revolt. The strange robots did their part until A-3 returned, much to Beta's bear-hugging joy, and saved the day. Beta's fate after this is unknown. Forever Is a Long Time Coming
