Expending the Transformers One lineup, now we have Elita-1, the Autobot heroine who has steadily gained prominence in recent years. This figure comes in the Deluxe Class scale, offering collectors and fans a compact yet faithful rendition of the character, courtesy of Hasbro SG and Hasbro MY.
In Package
The packaging follows the familiar template: a compact, windowed box showcasing Elita-1 in robot mode. The box artwork captures her animated design, with a dynamic pose on the front and the movie-inspired backdrop highlighted at the back. Despite having the plastic-covered window, plastic-free packaging design philosophy is still in place, using a cardboard insert to secure the figure.
From a display perspective, the package looks vibrant and does justice to Elita-1’s bright magenta color scheme
Alt Mode
Elita-1 transforms into a futuristic, Cybertronian motorcycle. The finishing is clean, with the hot pink dominating the body and silver/grey mechanical details breaking up the solid color. The sculpt captures a sleek silhouette, balancing both feminine design cues and a mechanical edge.
The side and angled shots reveal how well the panels align in alt mode. Despite the compact size, the engineering ensures minimal gaps, making the bike look solid.
The front perspective highlights the sharp lines and aerodynamic styling.
The rear view shows that the jetpack is also used in alt mode, covering the back.

Robot Mode
Out of the box, she comes with jetpack and small blaster accessories, which peg neatly into her hands and can be stored in alt mode
Standing straight, the proportions are well-balanced. The sculpt mirrors her on-screen counterpart, and the head sculpt is particularly sharp for the scale.
Comparison with Blokees Cogless Elita-1 highlights the Studio Series’ superior screen accuracy and articulation. The Blokees version favors a chunkier aesthetic, while the Studio Series captures sleekness and detailing closer to the movie design.
I might be off but I think the size difference is just like how they are in the movie
Close-up finishing showcases metallic face paint and pink armor tones, though at this scale, some details are simplified.
Lined up with her fellow Autobots (Bumblebee, Prime, and others), Elita-1 blends seamlessly into the Studio Series One lineup, despite being slightly slimmer. And while all 4 are deluxe size, they try to show the height difference based on the movie
The Studio Series Transformers One Elita-1 is a solid entry in the Transformers One line, delivering a fun transformation, sleek alt mode, and a robot mode that captures the character’s essence.
