ELITA ONE HAS BEEN HANDED THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP BY OPTIMUS PRIME, ACCORDING TO OPTIMUS' STATEMENT, THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP TOLD HIM TO DO THIS. LET US ALL WISH ELITA PRIME A SUCCESSFUL AND EFFICIENT REIGN AS PRIME.
I'ma be honest I don't support this by any means. I feel she was undeserving of the role of prime. I'm convinced that this must be a tactical thing, the real prime is probably somewhere on Cybertron and it's just using Elita to get to that bot. (Hot rod maybe?)
