Elena Wallace: An Appreciation Post

**Transformers: ROTB spoilers ahead**

Okay! Let's talk about how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Elena Wallace is in this movie! I've talked about Noah & Mirage quite a bit, but I absolutely CANNOT forget about our queen Elena! I barely see any posts for her and it's CRIMINAL!!!!!!!! Let me go fix that real quick!

There is no order. This is just a spontaneous list of all the reasons why I love Elena. 😊

I like that she's not just some side character. No, SHE CAME IN WITH THE KNOWLEDGE! She knew her shit and she was very resourceful! She knew info that even the Autobots didn't know!!!

I like how inquisitive she is. She saw a new artifact come in at work and she was immediately drawn to it and wanted to learn more about it. She did her own research on her OWN TIME on the markings engraved on the artifact/transwarp key, and I love that! Her boss really had the audacity to take credit for her work and ignored her when she wanted to be apart of the team that would be working on unlocking the history behind the artifact/transwarp key. But nah, she still found a way to learn more about it. You go girl!

Literal hand writing! I love love LOVE how quick she was to record information! The way she quickly started writing down markings on her hand in pen when the door to the lab technician room slammed in her face. Yes! You write those markings, girl! We ain't done! Or when her and Noah were in the underground ancient temple in Peru and she was writing down markings on her hand again. Yes!

I like that Elena took it upon herself to protect the transwarp key with her life. She didn't even understand its significance yet, but she was already ready to protect it when she first met Noah. She wasn't even scared at all, she really decked him HARD in the face to protect it! Like damnnn! 🤣 And the little rapid side step fake out thing she did with him was absolutely HILARIOUS! I can't! 🤣🤣

I love that Elena isn't a harmful stereotype and wasn't thrown into some harmful trope. No, she got to exist and be unapologetically black while still being such a likable character. Representation is SO important and it's nice to see black characters shine in sci-fi media and be apart of the adventure. Growing up, I've always dreamed of seeing characters like Elena take on main roles in a sci-fi show/movie, and in a Transformers show/movie and get to be friends with the robots. I'm so glad that characters like Elena exists. What a time to be alive! 🥺

Elena's love for history and artifacts was a nice touch. She's an artifacts researcher/history nerd and I am so here for it! And that little dinosaur sticker on her car! Cute! 🥰 I like that she was essentially the team's well of knowledge, in the sense that she immediately knew where the location for the second half of the transwarp key is, and she knew what the second half of the code is when Primal thought it died with Airazor. She really said, "I got this!" and it was go time! She had her little notebook of info at the ready and seeing all the notes, sketches and markings that she jotted down was cool.

NAVIGATING THROUGH HIGHLY ADVANCED ALIEN TECHNOLOGY LIKE A BOSS!!! Like excuse me, what??! Elena was able to figure out how to use the control panel during the final battle with ease. My anxiety could never! She navigated through a control panel that had so many different alien symbols to flip through AND it was a multi functioning panel that had a lot going on. But that did not stop her, nope, nope, nope! She got down to business, figured it out quick and entered the codes!!! 👏🏾

I like how connected Elena is to Airazor. From the moment she first laid eyes on the new artifact in the museum that resembled Airazor, to the moment she first laid eyes on Airazor, is just beautiful. She was mesmerized by her and it really showed! And their interactions throughout the movie is just **chef's kiss** 🤌🏾 Especially the scenes when Elena was concerned for Airazor's health after Scourge left his "mark" on her wing that inevitably led to her demise. You could feel how much Airazor's death affected Elena. 😔 FUCK YOU, SCOURGE!!!! Andddd hearing that there was supposed to be a scene in the movie where Elena jokingly says to Airazor, "I bet you make bots turn their necks when you fly by.", only for Airazor to respond with, "I did know to shake a tail feather or two." AHHHHHHHHH!!!! WE WERE ROBBED!!! 😡😡😡😡

Elena coming on the mission, despite looking very fearful at first is very admirable. She probably knew in her heart that she was destined to be apart of the mission, and she wanted to help save two worlds. Absolutely amazing! And the scene when she talks about her father and how fond she is of him is beautiful. "If you keep your eyes and ears open, life will show you everything you need to know." I love that line so much! 👏🏾

I like that Elena isn't an overly sexualized love interest for Noah, or assigned to him because he has a massive crush on her, like how Mikaela was with Sam in the 2007 Transformers movie. I know some people ship these 2 hard and I don't mind one bit (Noah/Elena shippers, do your thang! ✌🏾), but it was just nice to see a female character not be thrown into the love interest role for the main human character in a Transformers movie.

Elena became very close to Noah because they were the only humans on the Stop Unicron Team and they were actively working together to stop Unicron from destroying their home planet. But their relationship throughout the movie was giving me very strong sibling vibes.

We already know that Noah is a family man and his relationship with his little brother Kris is so wholesome! He loves his little bro so much! 🥺🥺 So seeing Noah be so protective of Elena throughout the movie was giving me that same sibling energy and it was really wholesome to watch!!! The way he would quickly grab her and step in front of her to protect her from danger, or the way he helped her down that dangerous ass entrance to the ancient underground temple, or gently drag her away to safety, or blast at anything that even attempted to attack her, or warn her about imminent danger, or how he made sure she was okay after a corrupted Airazor attacked her, and how he gently pushed her curls to the side, etc. Just ahhhhh! Their interactions were so GECICWHCICCEJCJ!!!! 😍

However...if you want to talk about Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback's interactions during their interviews together, then yeah, they're cute af!!!! 👀 Anthony was continuing to channel his inner Noah and was still holding onto those protective tendencies with Dominique, and I just found that absolutely adorable. 🥺

A happy, happy, SUPER HAPPY ENDING FOR ELENA!!! I really like that Elena FINALLY got recognition for her work at the end of the movie. I was so happy when I saw that ending scene! 😭

Okay! I think I covered everything I wanted to say about Elena and how she is an absolute queen, and how she is making my inner girl smile from ear to ear. If you read everything I just said, you are awesome! Thank you! 😘

airazor if she had a robot form in ROTB

[pluralsword]

sourced from here. yes we actually headcanon airazor as bi but we also headcanon her as genderfluid if not a symbiosis mutualist flapdare (we are planning on writing her in fanfic more, we've been sitting on writing for years and were only able to share some new stuff that brings together what we haven't released for her in part recently), so no worries, 'tis a cute meme

such a big fan of how noah and elena weren't a romantic setup. btw. like yeah they were just vibin

I like how we’ve got this whole thing with dualities in Rise of the Beasts; There’s obviously the Autobots and Maximals, but we have it with Earth and Cybertron, as well as Noah and Elena.

Noah is connected to more futuristic stuff, aka technology; He’s a natural engineer and this makes him cross paths with Mirage, an Autobot who transforms into a sleek porsche. By contrast, Elena is someone dedicated to the past; She’s an archaeologist whose interest in Airazor’s statue sets off the very events of the film, with Noah’s fated encounter with Mirage likely to have been much shorter and less meaningful without Elena’s input.

And just as Noah has his connection with Mirage the Autobot, Elena is connected with Airazor the Maximal. Elena is the one who understands her language, deciphers the work of the Maximals and traces them to Peru’s temple, their hiding place. It’s Elena who checks up on Airazor when she’s infected by Scourge, and must pay witness to her mercy killing by Optimus Primal. 

Mirage and Airazor act as the robot companions to our audience surrogates, for their respective factions, insisting to the rest of their more hostile group that THESE guys are fine, trust us! And they both guide their humans after ‘death’, with Mirage forming an armor around Noah, and the clues that Airazor left for Elena being what she needs to decipher the access code. Noah is looking out primarily for Earth, whereas Elena is willing to be compassionate and take that risk; As someone who’s an anthropologist, it’s her life’s work to think about and be fascinated by other worlds and cultures, so how can she say no to people who want to return to their own home?

Noah is at home in the city, with the latest tech like videogames and radios, and he even becomes a car mechanic and later member of the advanced G.I. Joe organization. Elena is almost always seen at the museum, representing the past, and does well in Peru’s ancient temples and caves. Her own promotion is to become a recognized archaeologist who will no doubt explore the world of the past! Likewise, I’d love it if Elena had a future learning about Cybertronian culture and history, and helping spread that knowledge to humanity, while offering Earth’s own past as well.

...What I’m saying is, we need to back up Noah/Mirage with Elena/Airazor. Yes I know Airazor died, but that’s never stopped anyone before so y’know.
