- The suit is not as strong as the Autobots' armor (obviously), making her the weakest when it comes to fighting Decepticons. Also, she is not particularly fast nor strong, and her suit needs two full days to charge up and can run into problems.

Backstory: The second child of Jorge and Elizabeth Lovelace, Malina developed a love for science and engineering after a school field trip to Sumdac Industries. Set in her career path she worked really hard in school, often going to the junkyard to use abandoned parts to craft her own inventions. In college she landed an internship working at Sumdac, but what she had thought was a dream come true slowly crashed around her when she ended up having to work for Powell instead.

During all this Detroit was hit by a sudden crime wave when criminals seemingly out of comic books started a reign of terror. Seeing the city's desperate call for a hero, Malina decided to step up to the plate, creating a design for powered armor she repurposed from old robot parts and other materials. Her two friends, detective Nicole Fanzone and mechanic Robin Banes joined her and together the three started their own little initiative to stop the new bad guys.

Misc

- Malina's surname is based off of mathematician Ada Lovelace

- Malina wears her glasses at all times. She has worn contacts but glasses fit her better

- I created Malina because I felt like TFA needed another human ally, specifically one who could fight the human villains as a superhero

- Malina has a heavy Metal Heroes aesthetic, namely inspired by Diana Lady from Jikuu Senshi Spielban and SolJeanne from Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain

- I noticed how the five main Autobots plus Sari fit the colors of the rainbow, so Malina is squeezed in as "violet."

- Aside from robotics, Malina also took Gymnastics from the time she was six up until eighteen when she retired to focus on her work. She does still practice every now and then to memorize her skills to use when fighting bad guys. On the weekends she takes boxing lessons with Nicole.

- Malina is NOT a love interest for the main Autobots. However I do plan on giving her one because having a love interest does not diminish a female character (if the idea was executed well that is). There's a lot of Transformers characters that barely get shipping fics, and there's a stigma against human/TF pairings, yet people ship humans with Connor from Detroit Become Human, literal monsters, and even fricking school shooters. Like seriously I have seen ship fics with Dylan and Eric on this site. I hope people won't get too bothered about me shipping Malina with a minor character. Hint: it's not Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, and definitely not a Decepticon.

- Malina's original name was Mariposa but that sounded a bit weird so I changed it to something more simple

- My choice voice actor for her would be Kimberly Brooks

- I drew a colored sketch of Malina's armor as pink but then I changed when I realized how many girl characters were already pink (not to mention it just would have been a rehash of Arcee)

- When they first meet the Autobots mistook her as a Decepticon due to the dark colors of her armor

- Malina haven't thought up a hero name, it just appeared on a popular website that happened to spread the name and she just accepted the name just like that

- She often shows up in costume in poor neighborhoods to interact with people

- During the holidays Malina (out of costume) would go to the homeless shelter to help serve food and warm clothes and blankets

- After the Autobots take over, Malina focuses more on her job, becoming more outspoken at work

- After Powell kicked Sari out of her house, she quit on the spot and allowed Sari to stay with her and Nicole. She temporarily worked busing tables but was able to get her old job back after Powell got fired

- After S3 Malina decided to go to Cybertron with Bulkhead and Sari because she realized there was a whole new universe out there. It is also where she would meet her future love interest

- Malina never gets any Cybertronian powers. She does get enhancements but as far as having superpowers go, no. And she doesn't become some immortal goddess either.

- Malina usually rides in Bulkhead, so it shocks people when they see a tiny woman getting out of a freaking military vehicle or whatever Bulkhead was supposed to be

- Since TFA and Ben 10: Omniverse were made by the same people, I might have Malina live in the future of my fanmade Ben 10 universe. It depends on how I could make it work.

- To explain Sari's lack of screentime in S3, I'm having a storyline where she learns how to be a proper superhero as Malina's apprentice. Both heroines, as well as Nicole are going to another city to stop a crime boss who has mysterious connections to Nicole's long lost mother. So basically they have their own arc away from the main season's plot to give the human characters more development. Also the human villains at that point have all been put in super special jail so that's the end of them!

- When Malina grows older she actually becomes allies with the Plumbers (I officially decided to have this set in the same universe as my Omniverse AU). So there'll be mention on my Ben 10 OCs!

Update: Removed a lot of tags to add some new ones as shortening so it wouldn't be too long. Also new info
