Elita-1

He is on a battlefield observing the functionality of his peers and concluding that his own hardware is insufficient for the reality he inhabits.

Brabble specifically isolates this by contrasting Bumblebee with Elita One and Ironhide in the text.

Two very different, very formidable Autobots.

Right.

Elita One is characterized as utterly fearless, possessing this tactical mastery of the battlefield.

She's a born leader.

And Ironhide represents sheer uncompromising brute strength.

I, I, I think they're having fun with this, and that, it's, it's great.

Uh, I've never been a fan of the Elita-1 mold, but I, I like what they're doing with this and just having fun with it.

The, I mean, listen, this, this entire New York Comic Con, the figures that are being announced and, and, uh, you know, um, teased and stuff like that, it is a, um, a h- it is a...

If you know what has, is happening, you, you can, you can see it as an indication on Hasbro's side as to the state of their business.

I don't like the waffling on the guns, so that's a bit weird.

So the biggie of what the fuck is this and who the fuck is this for is the Till All Are Loved Optimus Prime and Alita 1 set.

So first off, let's go through what the pack has, because that's probably the best way to start, right? So the set contains Alita 1, which was the...

Legacy Alita 1, I think it is.

XLHedge, you can check me on that just in case.

I think it's the Legacy Alita 1.

And then we have the Earthrise Optimus Prime, the Voyager.

Again! When I first saw this set, I was like, oh, it's the Studio Series one.

Uh, Ladron.

There's like a little, like, umlaut over the O. Um, and that is awesome, with Prime, Bee, uh, is that, uh, Ironhide, and is that Elita-1 as well? Looks pretty cool cover.

Fighting inside some sort of, like, either giant greenhouse or a spaceship.

I'm gonna go with spaceship on that one probably.

So let's get to characters who will become formidable members of the Autobots.

We have Scarjo, of course, Scarlett Johansson as Elita One, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127, who we'll later, of course, know as Bumblebee, or like he likes to call himself, Badastron.

So what did you make of these two, Keith?

Well, so Bumblebee, or as I like to refer to him as, Be Quiet, is the donkey of Shrek in this movie.

You just dump the whole bottle in and hope for the best.

And maybe I might have a heart attack after I'm done eating this plate of Transformers soup.

um elita one was actually a little more balanced yes you know we see her as a quote-unquote a manager and she gets demoted and then kind of takes everything personal also fyi friends transformers is just a movie about two toxic managers one is toxically stupid and one is just toxically evil and you can figure out which one is which Anyway, so she goes, gets demoted, and they just kind of go on this little goofball adventure.

And her rationale actually makes sense from her perspective.

Uh, certain, some recent things that happened in the Transformers issues, um, maybe, like, in the past few months, like, issues, was, uh, Tr- Optimus is no longer a Prime.

He relinquished his rights to that, um, to Elita-1, because he's fighting a fight on Earth.

Meanwhile, she's leading the charge with the Autobots on Cybertron versus the Decepticons.

It's very interesting.
