Though the Elita-1 toy has her own name and personality, in the film itself, all three motorcycles are simply components of Arcee. For information on Arcee's exploits, check out her article.

• Elita-1's name was previously announced as "Flareup" at Hasbro's panel during San Diego Comic-Con 2009.
• Whether or not Elita-1 is a unique individual or just an extension of Arcee is a matter of debate.
• Robot Heroes Chromia is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
• The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. The toys, however, are capable of combining with instructions to be provided online.
• In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be gold, green or silver. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is yellow.
• A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ostensibly make the pink one Elita-1... despite her film design being entirely different and her American toy being a redeco of Chromia. TakaraTomy appears to have circumvented the inherent craziness of this image by actually making their Elita-1 a pink redeco of Arcee, retroactively legitimatizing the website artwork. Um. Go them?
