Elita-One NEEDS to Return to Form

As she herself says early in the video, THIS is Elita-One.

The Elita-One who had the spirit of a bold warrior yet the grace and elegance of a queen. She was not an angry, shrieking girl boss. She was a mature woman leader who like her husband Optimus Prime had a kind, patient and parental figure personality that was unbreakable. As another @chaoticcreatorgardendean brought up, the fact that real Elita-One is a woman is something to be celebrated not shamed. After all, we don't shame Optimus when he has softer and boyish moments such as the time he played basketball.

Or another time when he played his planet's favourite sport which is cube and mentioned being good at it.

If it's not silly for Optimus Prime to still be fun, sweet and lovable even after the things he has been through (and I am sure he has trauma), it's not silly for Elita-One or any of the female characters to continue doing them even after going through battle.

I stand by being ok with TF One Elita-One being hardened because she's still a teenager and thinks she has to be this way, but I really yearn for the days when the strong, courageous and capable yet motherly, feminine and charming Elita-One returns. And while I agree that her role should consist of being more than just Optimus Prime's wife, that doesn't mean we should remove it. She can be more than just, but still be that too. After all, Princess Jasmine from Disney was more than just Aladdin's love because a woman can have a husband and not be defined by him. Modern marriage is an equal partnership after all. Plus, being in love is beautiful and many woman Transformer fans are married to men (like me). Plus, let us not forget that one of the most icon Transformers Blackarachnia even found love and was shamelessly feminine. In fact, she herself was aware of how useful her feminine wiles could be which makes her not only smart, but also shows how confident she is.

Heck even the adult tomboy Strongarm had a feminine side. I am absolutely convinced that the thing she sought from Bumblebee was more than just his validation. As someone who speaks from experience, I think she was seeking his affections. Moreover, it also explains why she got so jealous and resentful towards Windblade. Personally, I think her and Bumblebee's chemistry was very good, and if written better, they could have been a beautiful couples, but that's another discussion.

The point is, the real Elita-One and everything she represents needs to make a comeback in Transformers lore. We need stop portraying her as a meanie or as the woman Optimus loves, but will never have. We need to stop femininity shaming in Transformers as well as romance shaming. There is so much maturity behind a woman acting like a lady in spite of her circumstances, her hardships and others' attempts at bringing her down. Might I also remind people that one of the whole points of feminism is that a woman should be able to be herself and have what she wants without shame which includes being a lady, a wife and a mother.

With that said, we need to also bring back the version of Optimus x Elita that is a happily married couple. No "it's complicated" nonsense or needless drama that nobody wants anyway.

PS: I also want to add that Elita-One's warm, nurturing and feminine personality also makes her the ideal contrast to the emotionless, cold and solely logic driven Shockwave. Can we also talk about how back in the day, being a genderless, emotionless machine like Shockwave who has no desire for love was considered as a bad thing for a reason? I am not saying being unisex bad. I am saying that Shockwave is an unhealthy extreme. PPS: I didn't like Skybound to begin with, but the butchering of Elita-One's character made me hate it. Do not want.

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a fresh haircut, drink water, take care of your skin, eat food that gives you energy, declutter your space, take time to rest, workout, do mindful meditation, fix your sleep schedule. when you feel/look good, you do good. invest in yourself, put the effort you deserve.
