Alexis Thi Dang  (アレクサ Arekusa | Alexandra "Alexa") is a main character in Transformers Armada, and a supporting character in Transformers Energon.
She was voiced by Tabitha St. Germain
==Biography==
Alexis is a head strong and very opinionated teenager. She is not afraid to speak her mind and to tell off those that she does not agree with. This does include the towering Autobot allies that she’s befriended. 
This iteration of Alexis has moved on from the idea of becoming President, instead her experience with the Autobots on her Earth has driven her to become a physicist in order to better the Earth that she lives on with the knowledge she learned from the Autobots. Having already traveled to space with the Autobots and experiencing Cybertron in her universe, she’s driven to exploration of the stars and vast universe around her to discover what other secrets and races might just be out there. 
Even though she’s a very opinionated person, Alexis always has her friends and family’s best interests at heart. She tries to think with logic, but it’s when situations are really emotionally charged that her impulses get out of control. With that, Alexis is always trying to find a peaceful way to accomplish things and keep her loved ones safe, an ideology that she learned from Optimus Prime and her Autobot allies.
==Dreamwave Armada And Energon==
Alexis helped Rad and Carlos with Project Supernova, although she was rather cynical about it actually achieving flight. While she ran into some problems on launch day, including homework and Rad's insistence on playing secret agent (she was Agent Bubblegum), Alexis helped throw the Project Supernova off a cliff. Her cynicism was turned around when the craft actually managed to stay airborne, but it soon crashed due to outside interference. Alexis was pissed and about to go home when Rad fell into a cave and accidentally awakened four alien robots, whom he promptly hid in his garage. This didn't serve to improve Alexis's mood any, as she felt the robots could be dangerous and that they should tell people about them. Rad and Carlos eventually calmed her down, which was good as the robots turned out to be nice guys who built them a new Project Supernova. However, while the kids and bots were flying around on their vehicle, they were attacked by Megatron and fled back to the garage, where an angry Alexis demanded an explanation. The robots told the kids that they were Mini-Cons from the planet Cybertron, and that Megatron was a Decepticon out to capture them. Mad that she and her friends had been pulled into another race's war, Alexis began to argue with Rad, but Carlos made them both realize that they had to lure Megatron away from their neighborhood. The kids and Mini-Cons fled to a nearby canyon, where they found Optimus Prime and his Autobots. While Alexis and the others were almost captured and killed by Demolishor, the Autobots and Mini-Cons soon drove the Decepticons away. Unfortunately, as the kids were playing around in a forest sometime later, Optimus Prime visited them and explained that he couldn't let them get involved with the Transformers' war any longer. Alexis and her friends were subsequently forbidden from hanging out with the Street Action Team. Sparkplug, who was against this, broke order and took the kids with him to rescue some Mini-Cons from the Decepticon base. Their mission was to call for help if Sparkplug's infiltration team wasn't back within 30 minutes. When the team failed to return, Alexis and the others called for help and ended up summoning the Land Military Mini-Con Team, although it took some convincing to get them to help Sparkplug After a day at school, Alexis and her friends were riding around on the Street Action Team and eating burgers when the Mini-Cons suddenly stopped responding to them and sped away for an unknown destination. The kids were unable to get off until they came to a halt, which they did next to a mysterious monolith in Kansas. When the Mini-Cons entered the structure, Rad followed them, and Alexis could only watch as the monolith launched into space with her friend on board. Optimus Prime explained that Rad had been taken to the Moon, and Alexis and Carlos couldn't do much other than urge the Autobots to save him. While Optimus managed to retrieve a starship to travel to the Moon with, he refused to endanger the humans by letting them come as well.  Fortunately, simulacrum technology allowed them to be on the ship "in spirit", and Alexis was eventually reunited with Rad. After staying out of the Transformer conflict for a while, Alexis, Rad and Carlos learned that the Mini-Cons were all returning to Cybertron to fight against Unicron. They said their goodbyes to the Street Action Team, then watched as the Transformers entered a space bridge and left Earth. Sometime after the conflict on Earth had ended, Alexis began to compile a comprehensive database of information on several Transformers. She was unaware that this information (which, in several cases, contradicted actual events) was planted into her mind by Over-Run. In the ten years that followed the Transformers' departure from Earth, Alexis became an activist, traveling around the world with other like-minded individuals to (violently) protest the misuse of Earth's natural resources.
One such trip found her in Australia, protesting Alterenergy's 01 Source research. Her group's protest was interrupted when the Transformers returned to Earth in the form of the Terrorcons and attacked the Alterenergy excavation site. Alexis was horrified that they were getting dragged into the Transformer war again but ended up rushing straight into it to save a young teenager named Kicker from Battle Ravage by shooting the beast in the face with a flare gun. The two tried to escape on a motorcycle but ended up crashing it and getting captured by Battle Ravage, who brought them to Scorponok. The Terrorcon leader used Alexis as a hostage, threatening to kill her if Kicker wouldn't help him find 01 Source. Fortunately, Rad, who now worked for Alterenergy, came to her aid... or at least it would've been her aid if Battle Ravage hadn't been guarding her. They ended up escaping thanks to Carlos, who aided them from space by remotely detonating the collected 01 Source, knocking the Terrorcon out. After Rad explained to Alexis that 01 Source was Energon—Transformer fuel—and that Kicker could sense it, the two were suddenly reunited with Optimus Prime, who had arrived to fight the Terrorcons. The Autobots subsequently drove the Terrorcons away and rescued Kicker, who was surprised that Rad and Alexis knew each other. As the Autobots officially revealed themselves to the human population, many began to fear for an invasion and protested against them. Alexis was in Los Angeles at the time, and reflected alongside Rad on how she would probably be protesting as well if she didn't know any better. Rad wasn't happy to hear this, nor was he happy about her way of life, as her frequent trips around the globe meant she never stuck around. Alexis explained that she had merely grown up and didn't see things in black and white anymore, but the disgruntled Rad just said his goodbyes and left. However, he came back and apologized as Alexis prepared to leave in a taxi, which made her feel better. Then Terrorcon Insecticons attacked Los Angeles and blew up the taxi. Fortunately, she had gotten out in time and was safe and sound and returned to Rad. As he thought Alexis had died in the explosion, Rad had realized how much she truly meant to him and embraced her and told her never to leave him again. They were both fairly embarrassed afterwards Using Rad's truck, they raced away from the Insecticons and to Alterenergy's west coast headquarters. Upon arrival, Alexis spent some time with Carlos, who explained how Rad planned to use the Energon Volant Accumulator to aid the Autobots in the fight against the Terrorcons.As the AlterEnergy collaboration grew between Cybertron and Earth, Alexis became involved with the United Nations in connection with the project. She helped orchestrate a task force to look for Kicker after he went missing. Her information helped Rad, and his people locate where Demolishor had taken the boy. After being rescued, Kicker said goodbye to Alexis, Rad and Carlos before joining the fight against Unicron.
