“You survived, therefore you did not fail” It’s such a good line man

She’s the best thing about the war for cybertron trilogy, IMO

I wouldn't mind a series of Elita 1 being Autobot Leader against a Shockwave led Decepticons. Could be while the Ark/Nemesis crews were in stasis.

That scene in TFA where Blackarachnia looks up at the moon and starts weeping will never cease to hurt. In light of this, I highly recommend Blackarachnia for your Halloween special.

A real Tragedy she was never in G1 Season 3. Elita is a great Character. Homaging the French resistance is a fascinating choice.

G1 and Netflix version of Elita One is my favorite design, love the relationship between both Optimus and Elita they are the greatest couple.😍❤💘

The love of Optimus Prime’s life, Elita One! I ship those two deeply! 💕

Hasbro really missed an opportunity for Night Bird to become the first female deception. Megatron really liked her and she could have become even her love interest. He could have went back for her and then taken her back to vector sigma to give her a personality and a vehicle mode.

Their relationship is similar to Captain America and Peggy carter if you really think about it. The movie version did her, Arcee and Chromia really dirty. If they just add some elements from the comics into the movie maybe DOTM Shockwave would have been absolutely better because of what he did, it also gives a reason why prime gruesomely killed shockwave, because again Shockwave barley did anything except shoot and commanded his driller bot to do stuff for his.

"Elita One (TF Animated) had a special ability similar to Mega Man" Finally, I'd been waiting for someone to make that comparison for AGES.

She is the best. I prefer the War for Cybertron version, for the strength of her conviction and her leadership skills. The G1 cartoon always will hold a special place forever, because I loved the idea of female autobots as a kid. Her WFC toy is my 3rd favorite, I am happy I was able to get her. Great review Rodimus, you are still at the top of your game.

I want Elita One to have a more bigger roles in transformers comics movies and shows

This part I like a lot because she do care. 17:03 Elita-One needs more larger roles for her like boyfriend Optimus Prime she needs more toys of her look like from the cartoon show. I do ship or call it sparkmate Optimus Prime and Elita-One a lot as my favorite Transformers ship. I hope new Transformers show they will make them have a good life without seeing them fight each others. My favorite version of her is always be G1 a lot when I watch that episode of her and her Female Autobot team and OP and EO's origin story as well. Thank you for the video. We all care about you and your friends, family and everything as well.

She is the one only girl for Optimus! She always has stood by her belief and gave Optimus her support even until the very end… Kingdom’s confirming her demise😭

Elita calling optimus Orion at the end of kingdom…… oof that hurt….

Elita must have been so heartbroken at primes death during season 3. 💔💔💔💔

Mmmmm! ❤ Strong, Caring, Heroic and a complete Badass on the battlefield! Optimus certainly has tastes!

RP: The violence of the war drove a wedge between Elita and Optimus prime. Prime: GIVE ME YOUR FACE!!! Brutality killing the Fallen! Me: Gee I wonder why.😂😂

I would have loved to see how Dreamwave handled this couple, since the female Autobots were supposed to be the leaders of the Quintesson armies.

Anyone else noticing how Elita has had a pattern of dying recently? I wish her and Optimus could get a happy ending one day 😞

I always liked Elita One and her previous form of Ariel. I hope to see more of her in years to come. I'd love to see a toy based on G1 of Elita One, Ariel, Dion and Orion Pax, all Hasbro or Takara official releases. I already got a 3rd party toy of Orion Pax and preodered a 3rd party tranformable toy of Alpha Trion. It would be great if Hasbro releases an official G1. Tranformable version of Alpha Trion too. I grew up on G1, loved Beast Wars from the beginning and loved the G2 comics story (thought the cartoon should've been based on the story in the comics). I just hope Hasbro puts out an official G1 tranformable versions of those four characters. That would be heaven to me. Keep up the great work Rodimus. 'Til All Are One!

Seeing her lifeless shell in the finale of the WOC Trilogy breaks my heart..

It would be nice if we could have a series where we actually have a more idealized take on Optimus and Elita's dynamic from WFC: Less drama, more of actual interactions that would show why they would be friends and a couple, even Conjunx Endura. Really, the two of them need to be a double act, because there is so much potential for her as a character through her being Optimus' SO, something that lets us see what kind of bot she is as a counterpart to Optimus, whatever his personality is. I have my own ideas for the two of them, both as Optimus and Elita, and in their former lives as the archivist Orion Pax and the dock worker Ariel. Their romance is but a mere foundation for their actual interactions, the same way most media portray a duo act of two best friends, only in this case, said best friends are a chill married couple. Certainly not the bickering type, nor the Gomez-and-Morticia romantic type. More like we see why did they even become friends in the first place, let alone lovers. And ideally, she has a body the height and less exaggerated proportions of her POTP self, but is a truck or some other heavy land vehicle. She's one of the leaders, she deserves to be a Voyager or Voyager-ish in size.

It was perfect! I loved it rodimus. Elita-1 as with her g1 style is my favorite. And I loved her role in the Netflix transformers series.. I just wished she did not die. And I do hope they will bring her back In the future of the transformers franchise.

My favorite female transformers

I wish Hasbro could finally release a true figure of Elita One, not a repainted, not a retool not a remold, but a complete new mold with her own alt mode

This might just be me being weird but I'd love to see romance slice of life type series with Optimus and Elita, something more comedy focused and light hearted

Optimus and Elita 1 will be my favorite Transformers couple until I die🖤

It’s always good to see old footage of G1 in your reviews have fun and be safe at TF con.

Elita One is one of most favorite Autobots characters. She woman grace, beauty, strength, maturity, and honor a female leader that I love about. In a way she remind me of General Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX another female leader I like as well.

elita-1 was gonna appear in transformers prime (only in a flashback) but was cut, she made a cameo in transformers rid 2015

I watched Siege cartoon trilogy and to be honest, I enjoyed her. I guess the guy behind me was correct, she is one of the best thing in the trilogy.

I made certain to get her most recent toy simply because she is Optimus female counterpart. I always liked her and then when I saw Prime I made certain to get him as well.

"A girl worth fighting for" -mulan

She got screwed over in both the ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ film and ‘Dark of the Moon’ tie-in comics.

Elita One has been always my favourite fembot: she was not only the first one that I met and who showed us a little more of life in Cybertron but she also has a cool head that looks like a pair of headphones whit a radio incorporated!

Elite 1, she is awesome! My favorite version of her has to be the NETFLIX one! Then her original G1 one. Too bad the Netflix one had to die... Still she will always be awesome! My favorite female transformer!

Elita-1 is the Lois Lane of Transformers and I love both Optimus and Elita One’s relationship and it is beautiful

Prime also has a bobble head of her on his dashboard and her silhouette on his mudflaps.

I have never thought of Kermit and Piggy as a "power couple", but i guess that works..... great vid as always!

Awesome, I've been waiting for a retrospective on her! When younger we got crossed up and thought Arcee was another version of her because of the color scheme in the G1 movie. Hopefully we get a G1 version of her AND an all-spark guardian colored variant. Anybody else collecting the studio series transformers G1 movie toys? I scored moonbase one Jazz and autobot city Blurr today :-)

Until they decide to make a G1 version of Elita 1, I am seriously considering getting a War for Cybertron version of Elita 1 on Ebay sometime soon. Til all are one!!

I find it fitting the video came out in October since the Transformers Animated episode of Elita was a Halloween episode.

I like all of the female Transformers so lets see more if all if them!!

I love the g1 version the best. She should be at Optimus Prime's side always.

Yes I would actually like to see elita 1 in more transformers shows or movies

Elita One's special power is Cast from HitPoints, like Tellah in Final Fantasy IV (II for SNES) when he cast Meteor on Golbez. Change my mind.

In G1 and Netflix, Optimus and Elita-1 are a couple, but in JOHNNYFLASH’s Transformers Johnnyverse, they broke up

I Definitely feel that Alita-1should have more future appearances & I was mind blown by that episode that she was Black Arachnia.

Elita-1 should have a bigger role in Transformers stories. I would like to see her and Optimus more.G-1 is good example of her.

Favorite?? G1 the origional version.The Netflix figure I changed her name to Nova since I have the jet version of Elita and she looks more G1 ish..Yes a new toys and a return to G1 must be done

I would love to see her in a bigger role again... and as a life partner at Optimus' side. I loved her G1 and War for Cybertron version (although the ending disappointed me very much). I found her IDW1 version very "strange" and never got used to it (in my opinion they should have created a new femme for this role), so I didn't like this version of her at all.

She tends to die a lot, no wonder why she is perfect for Optimus.

fav is the G1 version, with animated in close second, wish both was more expended upon/build on like how the WFC trilogy handled her(bar Kingdom) kinda wish I read /kept up with the comics more, IDW version is interesting

I have always prefered the G1 version. I wish they did more with the female Autobots.

Elita One ROCKS! More please.

Fantastic video RodimusPrimal!!!!!! I have the 2007/movie 1, PotP, and Netflix/WFC versions of Elita-1 and they are all great figures. My favorite appearances of Elita-1 are the G1 and WfC series. :D Keep on being amazing.

G1 Elita-1!

My Favorite Transformers G1 Optimus Prime Love Elite One Episodes Cybertron Love Story

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CHARACTER

Elita-1 was the highlight on WFC siege. I really like her G1 incarnation as a stubborn fan. She and fem-bots truly deserve more air time, that was a fun team to watch

9:56 SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT... ELITA ONE!!!

Why do writers of Transformers after the G1 cartoon keep writing tragic stories for Elita-1 or just ignore her completely?

It´s a shame Hasbro or Takara haven´t explore more the relation between Optimus and Elita, I dream the day we could have a wedding between the leaders of Cybertron

If it's all the same I'll call the female Autobots, the Battle Angels. They deserve a team name better than 'female Autobots'. And it's a good anime inversion. While I like the original, you can never go wrong having Cree Summer voice acting. I hope more females will be added in future series not just the 1 token female.

While War for Cybertron is not the best of Transformers, the Elita One in that series is probably the best version.

I know Megatron has a thing for Nightbird...wonder if Starscream has a main squeeze besides that human in Armada?

I'm old school I like the G1 Version

I'd still like for them to establish a purpose for male and female robots having a relationship in a storyline. Perhaps in another continuity down the road, they could establish that a piece of a male Spark and a piece of a female Spark can create a Spark!!! And since we finally got Origin Bumblebee, Perhaps we will see a proper Elita-1 somewhere down the road. I think mostly everyone wants Cybertronian Wheeljack first though. A side story about how Orion Pax and Ariel met would make a good comic book mini series.

Elita one is my favorite girl Transformer she's really awesome character 😀😀😀😀😀😀♥️👍

She was for sure the breakout character of WFC.

This is one part of Transformers I would of loved to see more of Elita 1 and her squad. Would of been cool to have a few episodes in season 2 show the battle between them and Shockwave. Can't go wrong seeing Shockwave more for that matter either showing how he us holding Cyebrtron for Megatron's return.

Wow didn't except a upload this late! Anyways love Elita-1 as a character and I like that it brings relationships into the Transformers universe.

I really like elita and I'm glad she's getting a bigger presence in fiction but as it stands, she's a few notches away from sentinel prime as far as the treatment she usually gets.

"should Elita have more of a role in the future..." Yes, as long as they put effort into developing her as an interesting character with strengths and weakness etc and not just a token female or an out of place too powerful character.

Elita-1: "I can deal with decepticons, Elita-1 knows NO fear!" Bowing Fandon:"As It PLEASES you, your majesty."

i wanna see elita-1 looking like her g1 version in a future transformers series, i hope she transforms into a nissan gtr sport in a future transformers series, and i hope venus terzo voices her in a future transformers series

Another great retrospective 👍 Can't wait to see who's next

Very nice Rodimus!!

Thanks for this. You did a phenomenal in your breakdown and retrospective!

As far as having bigger rolls hell yeah. I like the G1 version the best.

I'm now a huge fan of Elita-1 thanks to the Netflix show. Hope to see more of her soon.

Another excellent retrospective 🤘😁🤘

Elita's voice drove me up the wall in WFC. She always sounded like she was going to cry. Massively overdramatic.

Really good (unintentional) birthday "present".

Very true

The first female autobot is Elita 1, Optimus Prime's interest love.

She is my favorite and I would love a new Elita one with g1 colors and a better transformation than the Netflix figure.

Thank you!

NGL in WFC it gave me the impression that she survived but was killed by Nemesis Prime. It doesn't make sense that her body would be exposed and not under the debris of the collapsed building, she was inside with Shockwave. Also her hand was missing fingers as if cut iirc and Nemesis came with a sword in the spoiler toy...

I've been waiting for another retropective & this was a great one. I can't wait for your retrospective on blackarachnia when you get around to it as I'm sure that'll be great as all your others. I've only watched the G1 serirs so that's the only version of Elita One I'm familiar with since I haven't seen the live action movie she was in yet. I do like how Alpha Trion told Optimus that only he could save Elita after she used her special power, it was like how if he was the only one with her blood type & she needed a blood transfusion.

Its not fair for Elita One do die in the WFC trilogy! She could of come aboard in the Ark with Optimus Prime!!!

We need to see more of elita-one

Can we have a movie/comic/show showing her having some couple moments with Optimus during the war, please?

I like that she went from "girlfriend of Optimus" to Autobot warrior, with or without Op.

Definitely love to see more of her, especially if it's based on the original and War for Cybertron. I've always felt that since I watched her first appearance. I enjoyed the relationship between her, Optimus, and Alpha Trion. Speaking of which, that's another character I'd love to learn more about. He's so old that he still resembles the Quintesson designs and doesn't transform. Imagine the things he'd seen in all that time.

Your "discussion for another day"-list must be vast! 🤣

G1 all the way!

I feel like she died between season 2 and the 86 movie. The decepticons by that time had completely taken over cybertron, so there could’ve been a huge fight that took place, resulting in the death of elita and other autobots

The Golden Age was apparently the 1950s... Ariel's design reminds me of someone at a sock hop. Dion probably named after the singer and I guess they couldn't call Elita, Sue...
