Recently, I've been giving some re-thinking to my plans for what I want to do with both Elita Infin1te and Inferno's combiner.
My most recent plans for the two were to give Elita limbs from Moonracer, Novastar, Siege Greenlight, and hope that Habro may come through with one more fembot limb (Lancer, perhaps). While Inferno would get a full set of four limbs via Jazz, Wreck-Gar, Ricochet, and Red Swoop.
However, looking at Elita's box art again got me thinking. If I were wanting to try and adhere as close as possible to the official configuration for her seen in said art, then I would use Jazz and Ricochet as her legs, and Moonracer as her left arm. For her right arm, the obvious choice would be to use Novastar, but since the right arm is completely cut off from view in the art, that gives enough ambiguity for her right arm to be officially ambiguous, which would allow me to use Greenlight for the right arm without issue.
Now, why the use of Greenlight instead of Novastar for Elita? Well, because of Novastar's relationship with Inferno. She could theoretically form his right arm, with her already having been his right hand bot. Sure, I could instead just give Greenlight to Inferno and Novastar to Elita, but Novastar at least has some personal connection to Inferno, arguable making her, more than any of Inferno's other potential limb choices, more sensible a choice to be a part of his combiner form.
