Orthia

Orthia is an Autobot combiner from the Generation 1 continuity family.

When five Female Autobots combine, they become the mighty Orthia! Individual bots that make up this combination are:

• Elita One
• Moonracer
• Firestar
• Greenlight
• Lancer

Elita One can also form Elita-Infin1te by combining with four random Autobots (or possibly even Decepticons?).

Toys

Generations

• Elita-1 (Power of the Primes Voyager Class, 2018)
• Moonracer (Power of the Primes Deluxe Class, 2018)
• Novastar (Power of the Primes Deluxe Class, 2018)
• Greenlight (War for Cybertron: Siege two-pack with Dazzlestrike, Amazon exclusive, 2019)
• Lancer (War for Cybertron Trilogy Selects, 2019)

Orthia's components were released over the course of two years: First the Power of the Primes line gave us Voyager Class Elita-1 and Deluxe Class Moonracer, who was later redecoed (plus a new head and weapon) into Novastar. In 2019, the War for Cybertron: Siege line then gave us Greenlight a more extensive retool of Moonracer/Novastar, who was released as an Amazon exclusive two-pack with Dazzlestrike (aka "Dazlestrike"), followed shortly afterwards by Lancer (another new-head redeco of Moonracer/Firestar), released as part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy's "Selects" range.

As a Power of the Primes-style combiner, the Voyager figure Elita-1 forms Orthia's torso, while each of the four smaller figures (which are all using the same engineering) can form either limb. The Prime Armor accessories included with each of the limb figures serves as the hands, whereas the Prime Armor pieces included with Elita-1 become the feet. (The other two limb figures' Prime Armor pieces can also be attached to the feet as heel stabilizers.) Additionally, a Prime Master, Matrix core, or Enigma of Combination (such as the "Autobot Enigma" that is included with Elita) can be installed within Orthia's chest, hands, or feet.

Notes

• It appears Hasbro initially had no plans to complete an all-female combiner during the course of the Power of the Primes line: Elita-1's instructions showed a combined form that featured Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Sludge and Snarl as the arms, and Moonracer and Jazz as the legs, whereas artwork depicted on the side of Elita, Moonracer, Jazz and Novastar's packaging instead showed the combined form as featuring Moonracer as an arm, and Jazz and Ricochet (who wouldn't be released until much later, also as a Selects figure) as the legs. During their panel presentation at New York Toy Fair 2018, Hasbro dubbed the combiner that uses Elita-1 as its torso "Elita-Infin1te". With the release of Novastar, it appeared at first as if that was indeed the full extent of what Hasbro would release in terms of combining members of the Female Autobots. However, in 2019, stock photos of Greenlight started appearing. An advance sample revealed that the packaging featured the blacklight code "Lancer" in "Ancient Autobot" writing, which, when entered into a decoder on Hasbro's website, revealed the schematics for a combiner identified as "Orthia", with Elita as the torso, Moonracer and Novastar as the arms, and Greenlight and a "classified" bot as the legs. Around the same time Greenlight was officially released, Lancer started popping up in Asia without any prior.
