You're making me wish I hadn't sold off my PotP Elita-1!
It's my preferred Elita.
I am seriously liking how those Voyagers look together. I've never liked the scaling of the Deluxe Elitas (Netflix WFC, Legacy) with this contemporaneous Voyager Optimus, for much the same reason as I don't like Masterpiece Autobots generally being waist height to Optimus.
But this looks wonderful.
I like the idea of Elita and Optimus being equals as much as possible, and the PotP Elita gives her the height to convey that.
Also the jet mode makes it as if the sky is her domain as compared to the ground for Optimus, another nice bit of pairing equal concepts.
I have a bit of a headcannon for POTP Elita 1, after her appearance in G1 cartoon, she and the other fembots stumble upon one of Shockwave's abandoned experments and find a combiner torso unused, just a sparkless shell and decide to take a risk by adopting that body as Shockwave's original intent was to create a seeker combiner, yet energon reserves ran low and he left the experiement unfinished with the intent of coming back later on when the reserves were plentful once more, so Elita 1 adopts that body as her own, so that she can go toe to toe with the seekers that never left Cybertron and the other fembots incooperate combiner tech into their bodies
Looks like Shockwave has been busy or at least his cloning machine and it malfuctioned and produced one who was slightly different to the rest!
It's literally just photocopy syndrome.
Only its multi coloured instead of Black & white
Neat idea.
If I was going to run with it being G1 Elita upgraded, I'd consider having it be some sort of mutation spurred on by Optimus interfacing with her in The Search for Alpha Trion. Basically, the energy being infused with some Matrix energy, thus "Priming" her up.
OTOH, that kind of runs into the whole "is Optimus enhanced by the Matrix" quandary, so that probably doesn't work as well.
The simplest answer would be to just say that she and her fellow teammates were rebuilt into new bodies so that they could all form a combiner together.
Also, she never did have an Earth mode in the cartoon, so she could have simply scanned a jet instead of a car during her first visit to the planet.

My headcanon isn't based on any one particular thing exclusively so in my mind Elita's a jet because that's just what she is. Orion got the Matrix and became Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion rebuilt Ariel into Elita.

I imagine Elita getting seriously injured when the Decepticons solidified their conquest of Cybertron between 1985 and 2005, and having to be repaired so drastically that her protoform template gets rebuilt from the ground up.

Well, he sure wasn't named Livon, now was he?
Is Bludgeon Skeletor's cousin, twice removed?
