Pretty much cross-posting the bulk of my comment from the 'spark - where I'm thrilled to see you've joined the challenge! =)

I'm intrigued by your characterization of Elita. She comes across as rough, tough and overconfident, and - amid true-life stories of teachers and clergy having relations with their students and young parishioners - as one who has abused her power. Yet there's still a shadow of the Optimus/Elita we all remember - your Elita wants to be sure nothing will happen to Optimus and is willing to accept a humiliating reassignment without appeal as long as she has that assurance, reminiscent of G1 Elita who was willing to give her own Spark to save her beloved.
