We have some more 3P projects to share with you from HobbyFree 2018 in China. This time, X-Transbots surprises us with their G1 Elita-1 Prototype.
A very interesting take on one of the most representative fembots of the franchise. Curiously, rather than a gray prototype, a pink prototype was on display. The head and body are sure cartoon-accurate, but with some noticeable kibble on her back. Sadly, the alt mode was not shown.
We have no specific release date or price point at the moment, but be sure to come back for more updates in the future. Keep in mind this is an early prototype and several changes may be done for the final product.

They’re busy putting electronics and spinning limbs on her to increase the price
Nemesis Compactor
They've resurrected their Galvatron and Inferno mold (maybe)
Nothing is impossible

I sent an FB message to XTB and asked about it. It's not "dead", just in limbo right now. They do hope to put it out eventually. *glimmer of hope…*

No way this is still a thing. It can't be and if it is, this design is probably scrapped in favor of something far more up-to-date.
I mean it's obviously a super early Prototype but still. not even a hum or a whisper about this project. it's been almost 3 years now.
It would be cool if it was still happening, but man…3 years???
That's almost as long as Abaddon.

3 years after the reveal the design looks outdated with all that kibble. Proportions look off. I also bet she would never be able to stand on her own.

Damn it Bones, I need this.

I hope someone makes a buffer version of Elita at some point. I'm getting attached to the idea of her being a badass Autobot Commander

Elita One and Devcon are the last two Season 2 bots that really need an MP. You'd think the huge focus on toon lately would boost the odds of someone making them.

Elita is way past due for her own mold. She's a tall fembot being as tall as Ironhide and Ratchet. So reusing Arcee molds makes me cringe.

Can’t believe I passed on it. I mean, I don’t really collect the line but damn. Regrets regrets
octobotimus
I mean, the siege Netflix version exists.

Ugh I need some iteration of Elita 1. Come oooon.
GR1ML0CK
You and me both! I don’t see this getting made and I don’t see anyone else doing her. I should have picked up the earthrise one when I saw it

I really want to know if this figure has been worked on. Ditch the heels tho, she didn’t have any in the cartoon. Ever since the new series came out I’m on an Elita kick. I’m surprised no one else has attempted her in MP scale.

For the past two years and this one XTB/KFC has only shown the ability to get out 3 releases all at the same time around this time and then disappear outside of numerous reissues. The next releases are the last two Junkions, then Dr. Egg and supposedly the trailer for Menasor. After that we see Kup and Springer whenever the hell they come out. At this point, with these companies and their procrastination I would not look past the next release. They have proven they operate on their own time and don't really seem concerned about moving anything forward. This company has shown in the past they can do a lot better but for some reason they like going backward.
