I miss Toyfare magazine. Among the snarky toy-centric humor and the genuine coverage of new and upcoming toys, one of their semi-regular bits were the "It's Evolution!" photos, showing a particular character's toys over the years:

It's Evolution(?)! Elita-1 edition.

"Elita One's size increased as her range expanded and she gained access to better environments, but tragically, her once sparse populations expanded to the point of competition with themselves, and over time, her body size decreased under the pressure of dwindling resources..."
-That awkward time David Attenborough got loose on Cybertron. Took weeks to catch him.

I remember Toyfare! It may have left a mark on me.

As much as I do like 2022 Elita, I still kind of want a Voyager class Cybertronian space-truck version of her that stands about Earthrise Optimus height. If she's the leader of the Cybertronian Autobot Resistance (not to be confused with the Autobot Cybertronian Resistance. Bloody splitters.) than I'd like her to stand out a little. The 2018 CW version does do that, but it's the "wrong" alt-mode.

I've got Legacy Elita and PotP Elita as pre and post-War Elita. I wasn't a huge fan of the Ariel figure they did in that two pack, so I went the TFO route of her just always being "Elita" in my collection, just with a wartime upgrade.

I do own a lot of Elitas (all the ones Haywire there shows minus the 2009 boat plus Ariel from the 2-pack) but there's always room for one more if it does everything I'd want it to.

I even saw a person making a 3D printed earthmode Elita One with a Peterbilt alt-mode that I really loved the look of:

The progression was originally meant to start and end with boat Elitas, because I misremembered boat Elita coming out before motorcycle Elita. Should have done the full pivot and thrown ONE Elita and maybe Ariel in there...
