Toys Generations Legacy Deluxe Elita-1 Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 and Up, 5.5-inch

Before she was Elita-1, she was Ariel. Ariel, Dion and Orion Pax were workers on Cybertron. Ariel's boyfriend is Orion. They were a couple. But Megatron showed up and almost killed them. Alpha Trion rebuilt Orion Pax into Optimus Prime, while Ariel was transformed into Elita-1. It's unknown what happened to Dion. Many believe, he was turned into Ultra Magnus, but Hasbro has insisted Dion died and Magnus is somebody else. Elita-1 continues to be the on and off girlfriend of Optimus Prime. She made only one appearance on the original show, just like many of her female warriors who served under her. But she has appeared in the comics and the recent show, Earth Spark. Sadly, there were only a few toys based on the character. The previous toys were from Power of the Primes and the War for Cybertron trilogy. This Legacy toy is actually the best version. As she looks very much like her cartoon counterpart. The strawberry and pink colors stand out. Elita looks wonderful in robot mode. Her vehicle, while not looking like the cartoon version, is great. It can be a little tricky turning her from robot to vehicle. After watching some videos, I was able to transform her properly. Hasbro made two more characters from this mold: Minerva and Strongarm. In the end, I'm happy buying Elita-1.

Quality of this little transformer is great. The detail of everything is awesome. Size matches the other transformers so it’s fun for the kids to play together and role play. Transforming from car to robot is easy. My 5 year old Kid can do it themself. We have others where I always have to transform the toy for them but this one is better.

FINALLY, A GOOD ELITA-1 TOY! Elita has always had a rocky time with toys, so I’m so happy we have this. Let me get through the few qualms I have really quick. The backpack doesn’t really tab in all the way which is disappointing. The right foot on my copy pops off from time to time. It’s also a bit rickety in some spots but I can work around it. And finally, the arms don’t really get a whole lot of backward motion because of the backpack. But that’s it. She’s a fun desk toy that I enjoy posing and flipping back forth! Speaking of, the transformation is simple, but super effective. I’m so glad that she’s not just some shell-former. Even though Hasbro has a new Studio Series version of her coming out soon, this one will do just fine and match with any Optimus you have. 9.5/10

This is a pretty great Transformer toy. Elita-1 has a nice G1 inspired sculpt decked out with a ton of design details. The only complaints are that it is small and because of that the car alt mode is also a little tricky to convert solidly. I would really love to see this same sculpt given a larger upgrade, at least Voyager size or even leader class. But if you can pick this one up for $10 or $15 it is well worth the price!

The Figure arrived in a very timely manor, the package was in great condition. The figure herself is fantastic, great representation of the character and well detailed and articulated

Elita-One gets a great new mold to show off to all the boys! With an elegant design, that makes converting from robot to vehicle unorthodox, but intuitive, most people will be able to get this transformation done without the instructions. She does have some drawback: the nonsensical addition of two translucent blue weapon accessories does not fit her vehicle, or robot mode well. Although the colors are vibrant, there isn't a lot of variation to break up the areas. Her lower legs are basically just a light red block. I'm very glad I was able to grab this for 50% off. But I think I'd have been happy to pay full price for what I got.

I stumbled on this figure as a sale item for under 10 bucks US. This was my main reason for the purchase, but it was even more surprising when I saw it in person. Very well made sculpt and a good amount of articulation. Size is right for this price range and at 10 bucks or less is a "no brainer" purchase.

Toys packaging came absolutely destroyed. All bent and ripped like someone found it stuffed under a lottle kids bed. Luckily the figure itself wasn't damaged. Very small figure. About 5 inches. And the color is as described. Price wasn't horrible.
