An Autobot agent and member of the Spy Changers stationed as an undercover look-out and spy on Earth since the early 2000s, Elegance (named for the Concours d'Elegance) went native, falling in love with Earth culture, and the very best of it at that. She enjoyed adopting speedy sports-car alt-modes, driving around the most interesting places on Earth, and hobnobbing with high society β royalty, the wealthy, artists, and politicians β but being a 19-foot-tall robot, she mostly found them cute. For example, in 2008, working with Jazz in London, she protected the daughter of the ambassador of Karabomia from a kidnap attempt led by Slipstream, foiling a Decepticon scheme to get control of the country's oil reserves, and escorted her and her date safely to the embassy. She took in a Queen tribute concert on the way. In 2017, she was a guest at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, serving as wedding car and secret bodyguard.
She is a bot of wealth and taste, of sophistication, style, and grace. She is full of charm and wit and wry humour, flirting with friend and foe alike. Elegance is made to be seen: in trendy London nightspots, rolling through the streets of Monaco, parked in front of palaces and art galleries, or driving anywhere scenic. She avoids mud, rust, and anything else that hampers her style. Nevertheless, she is a capable operator, highly acrobatic, and a dangerous fighter, not one to be underestimated. Her hobbies include creating various forms of art, seemingly with a different medium, style, and subject every month. One work is purported to be a mechanical sculpture of the Reconstructionist school, though others would say it was Optimus Prime made out of scrap, and they'd be right.
Although she was cynical of the War and critical of the Cybertronian society that led to it, and was produced by it, Elegance was unafraid to fight it in order to end it and defend what was good about their culture. When the Decepticons invaded Earth in 2008 and 2010, she stood among those Autobots who repelled them, but for Elegance it was a matter of defending her adopted home and protecting the innocent and helpless humans. In 2018, when Unicron attacked Cybertron, Elegance was recalled to join the fight. Afterward, the revived and repopulated Cybertron did not feel like her old home, and she grew disillusioned by the new factional feuding. In 2020, she returned to Earth to defend against Bludgeon's splinter Decepticon faction and guard against Soundwave's loyalists, and there she would stay. She resumed her old station as a look-out, monitoring for Decepticon activity, but now on behalf of the Cybertronian Council.
However, all the conflicts had left her war-weary, and her beloved Earth was changing too. Withdrawing from the world with a claim of "I want to be alone", she rested in her alt-mode, still quietly surveilling and monitoring, reporting to Cybertron and Earth governments, and watching television, but not going out any more. Forgotten by humans, her vehicle mode was driven, stolen, sold, parked, and finally stored in a shed for the better part of a century.
However, in 2119, she was recently rediscovered by a human and restored. Emerging from her seclusion, she was tired of being tired and ready to engage again. The current peace, fragile as it may be, is a chance for them all to relax and enjoy life again. However, Elegance knows too well that peace must still be protected and preserved.
When Elegance went looking for alt-modes, she passed over the modern vehicles, muscle cars, and cutting-edge sports cars beloved of other Transformers, and went back to the Jaguar E-type roadster, because why settle for anything less than what Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever made"? This is not because she cares only for aesthetics, but because it represents true elegance and lasting style. The only change she's made is to upgrade to the Jaguar E-Type Zero β a quite acceptable update, in that it didn't mess with perfection. In 2119, some would say she's a positive antique, but she would say a timeless classic.
In her alt-mode, the roaring big cat in the traditional Jaguar badge, both on her grille and on her steering wheel, is replaced by the Autobot logo, the only external clue to her true nature. In her robot mode, Elegance is tall, slender, and somewhat feminine in appearance, a product of her vehicle mode's long feminine-inspired curves than any internal construction of her own, though she had more curves as a D-Type. Nevertheless, her face is feminine and classically beautiful. Pale-blue plating with chrome highlights is arranged stylishly over her internal steel workings, reminiscent of an English knight, as is her battle-mask. The tyres and canopy of her vehicle mode's soft top can unfurl into an elegant black long-coat or cocktail dress, while her front bumper transforms into her energon bow.
WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
WEAKNESSES: Bad taste, her own pride and pompousness, fliers she can't get to, and being a century out of touch with Cybertron
