Fiction
[edit]The Covenant of Primus
[edit]Elita One emerged from the Well of All Sparks sometime during or before the Age of Wrath. She rose to a position of prominence on Cybertron, serving on Sentinel Zeta Prime's council of thirteen in Iacon. As a member of the council, she contributed to the conspiracy that overthrew Quintesson rule, and the colony expansion into the Golden Age that followed. However, she also contributed to society during the Age of Rust that settled in after the Rust Plague ended colonization. The people were disillusioned and listless after the colonization project failed, yet the Prime and his council could offer no new goal or dream to uplift their spirits. Elita One continued to counsel more research and time before acting, even as her fellow councilman Soundwave abandoned the government in disgust. The Covenant of Primus

Notes
[edit]- In the first draft of the Prime episode "Stronger, Faster", during the scene where Ratchet berates Optimus Prime for his perceived inaction against Megatron, there is a line which implies Elita had died during the war and Ratchet blames Optimus for it, which leads to Prime punching Ratchet. The line and punch were cut as the story editor didn't want Optimus to lose his cool during the scene.[1]

[edit]- ↑ "In the first draft I wrote for “Stronger, Faster” I did include a line after that moment (where Ratchet berates Optimus for not fighting Megatron sooner/harder) to imply that Elita One had died during the war and Ratchet was blaming Optimus for it (I don’t remember the exact wording, something opaque like “Where’s Elita now?”). Then Optimus clocked Ratchet in the face. It never made it past the first draft. My Story Editor didn’t want to have Optimus lose his cool there (a perfectly reasonable choice) and so there was no reason for the line.that made him lose his cool (especially since it would have also locked us into a significant piece of backstory in the first season)."—Mairghread Scott, Tumblr, 2017/04/24
