Elise Presser


 * Elise Presser is a human from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Elise Presser is a profiler specializing in robotic personalities and design. She was one of a trio of school students at Benjamin Franklin Pierce High School who built B.O.T. as part of a science project.

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

Elise is more concerned about obeying rules than her classmates. Given they accidentally built a destructive robot powered by Brawl's personality component, she'll probably continue to err on the side of caution.

B.O.T.
Elise Samantha Presser was assigned to help fellow classmates Roland and Martin with their science project — a fact that did not make them happy. After observing the Protectobots rescuing people from a burning building, the trio decided to make a robot of their own, and they scavenged for parts in a dump. Elise found Brawl's personality component amongst the piles of junk.

Once B.O.T. was complete, Elise wired in the personality component, causing their creation to begin a rampage, smashing furniture and lab equipment. Despite her trying to reason with the robot, B.O.T. smashed its way through a wall and escaped. The Autobots were called in, and they chased B.O.T. into an abandoned building, which the two boys bullied Elise into entering. They managed to catch up with B.O.T. in time to see Swindle making off with the personality component.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of matters. Martin worked out a way to track the location of the personality component, leading Elise, despite her better judgment, to drive them to the ocean in her red Volkswagen. There she was able to rewire B.O.T.'s voice synthesizer to allow them to listen in on Megatron's plans, giving them advance warning of an attack on Autobot Headquarters.

After warning the Autobots and watching them defend the base, Elise used Teletraan I to control B.O.T. She was able to use the small robot to destroy Megatron's orbit disruptor cannon, though B.O.T. was lost in the process. The Autobots thanked the trio, and Elise suggested that they could possibly build another robot from spare Autobot parts, resulting in Roland and Martin duct-taping her mouth shut and dragging her away.
