Solila
- Solila is a Zertonian from the Energon Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Solila is a Zertonian warrior and pilot. A fierce and capable combatant, she holds herself responsible for the preservation of her people against their enemies, the Agorrians. However, she will break with tradition when she sees fit to, whether in allying herself with an Agorrian under dire circumstances or abandoning her role as a Keeper of the Light.
Fiction
Energon Universe
Solila was once a member of the Keepers of the Light, a group at odds with the Zertonian Premier Zalilak. Later, she disavowed them despite once describing herself as its "First Chosen". Void Rivals #5
Much later, a comet containing four thousand tons of ice approached the Sacred Ring. Zertonia was experiencing a water shortage, and thus Solila was dispatched to intercept the comet in her spacecraft, a Star Wing. However, the Agorrians had also launched a Jump Jet to capture the comet, and both ships were caught in the comet's gravity and thrown off course to an unknown planet. Solila explored the planet and found that the Agorrian, Darak, had survived as well and attacked him with her spear.
After Darak got the upper hand in a skirmish, she asked for clemency before he would deliver a fatal blow. They both tentatively formed an alliance, intending to use parts of each other's spacecraft to escape the unknown planet together. However, their first attempt failed, and Solila ran away in despair, not wanting to die next to a mortal enemy. She soon discovered the remains of yet another spacecraft, and she successfully powered it up. However, this was actually the Cybertronian Jetfire, who informed them both that he had to return to Cybertron, leaving them behind. Solila once again despaired and Darak suggested they could employ the technology in their flight armor and helmets to modifying Darak's ship. They each ignored the taboo about removing their helmets in front of their enemies-only to discover that they were of the same species. Void Rivals #1
Solila listened to Darak tell her about a vision he had, about the origins of the Zertonians, Agorrians, and the Sacred Ring itself, and was convinced that it was Zerta herself speaking to him. The vision of their shared origins made her reflect on how their war was perhaps a conspiracy, and she was committed to returning to the Sacred Ring with Darak's help. As they assembled their escape craft, Solila became angry with herself for failing to obtain resources for her people and colluding with the enemy, but Darak's pragmatic demeanor gave her some temporary relief. Their makeshift spacecraft escaped the unknown planet, but was soon captured by the Skuxxoid and his Rockeroid. Void Rivals #2
Solila took point in the brief battle against the Skuxxoid, holding her own by remote controlling her spear. Darak was surprised by her battle prowess, well beyond what he expected for a pilot. She helped the wounded Darak escape deep into the Rockeroid, where they teamed up against a mechanical scorpion-like machine and ultimately destroyed it. As if that weren't enough, they came across a Quintesson who offered them a way off the Rockeroid if they worked together against the Skuxxoid. However, the Skuxxoid later found that Solila and Darak had no bounties and thus no longer had any interest in them. To the Quintesson's chagrin, they made a deal with the Skuxxoid, trading the rare metals in their makeshift ship for a Nebulos transport ship, and they escaped together.
Solila and Darak made a deal to each go to their respective peoples and share their revelations, though Solila had her private doubts in the face of Darak's optimism that it would go over well. When they reached the Sacred Ring, Solila thanked Darak for choosing cooperation instead of aggression—and immediately delivered an electric shock to him, rendering him unconscious. Void Rivals #3
After convincing Darak's Handroid to stop resisting, Solila landed on Zertonia. Darak regained consciousness, and was more disappointed than surprised by Solila's betrayal. She confessed that she considered him neither friend nor enemy-but at best, a rival. She warned Darak to not divulge any details of their revelation if he valued his life.
Prostrating before Premier Zalilak, she begged forgiveness for failing to capture the comet, but Zalilak assured her that capturing an Agorrian was a worthy substitute, since he could be ransomed for resources. She expressed relief that Darak would be unharmed, and that was enough to pique Zalilak's curiosity. She confessed that she and Darak had seen each other's faces, and was immediately incarcerated with Darak himself. Enduring Darak's taunts, she revealed that Zalilak already had been aware of the secret of their species. Void Rivals #4
Solila was bleak about their shared fate: she was confident that they would both be killed in order to preserve the secret that they uncovered. She could only apologize and watch helplessly as Darak was drugged and dragged from their cell for interrogation. Solila barely had time to react to this when Mistress Vill and two other members of the Keepers of the Light arrived in secret. Vill expressed disappointment in Solila's naivete and her abandonment of the order. Solila only had harsh words in reply, calling her a witch and zealot. Vill expressed disdain that Solila espoused Zalilak's path, but revealed that she came not to admonish, but to save her from death: she gives Solila a key, containing both the circular Agorrian symbol and the triangular Zertonian symbol.

As Solila pondered the key she's been given, Kanela entered her cell wearing Blast Trooper armor, offering her freedom. Despite being skeptical of Kanela's support, Solila donned Kanela's extra set of armor and they escaped the cell in disguise. Upon reaching the Unifier underground, Solila was surprised to see that Darak has orchestrated her escape, even if she would not have reciprocated had their positions been swapped. Having rescued Solila, Kanela required Darak to uphold his end of the deal: reach their counterparts in the Agorran resistance and deliver data to them so that communications could be reestablished between their camps. Solila reasoned that only death awaited her if she stayed, so she joined Darak and the Unifiers, despite Kanela's distrust of her.
The group moved out onto the streets of Zertonia, heading towards a Blastwing that has been prepared for them, which increased Solila's skepticism. Solila told Darak that everything she had done—including her betrayal of him—had been done to alleviate the poverty and destitution around them. Upon reaching the Blastwing, the group was besieged. The junior Unifier Ultum, whose mother was missing, had betrayed the group under the promises that she would be found. Solila teamed up with Darak again and quickly commandeered a Slip Rider, escaping further into the north. After another sighting, they are forced to reach the Wasteland that separated Zertonia and Agorra. Darak asked if she trusted him, and she said yes. Void Rivals #6
