Astoria Carlton-Ritz 2023

Astoria Carlton-Ritz in 2023

Astoria Whitney Carlton-Ritz (born February 17, 1966) is an American technology CEO, heiress, socialite, television personality, businesswoman, fashion designer, entrepreneur, model, actress, producer, author, and singer. She is the daughter of Conrad Carlton-Ritz, the founder of Hybrid Technologies. Born in New York City and raised in both California and New York, Carlton-Ritz inherited a vast fortune as well as control of Hybrid Technologies at the death of her father. She married young, to racecar driver Auggie Cahnay in 1986.

Spoiled rotten, Astoria was mostly a figurehead with little control over the company's goings-on. Instead, she spent most of her time throwing herself lavish parties and wondering why nobody wanted to be her friend. She has the bizarre ability to jinx any mechanical device just by touching it, which was just one more reason she was kept away from her father's company and its equipment. Astoria also had a thing for Powerglide.

After Carlton-Ritz's marriage, however, and with her husband's guidance and help, Carlton-Ritz settled down, becoming a powerful CEO and leading Hybrid Technologies to new heights of success.

History[]

Cartoon continuity[]

After the death of her father, Astoria Whitney Carlton-Ritz inherited his vast fortune as well as his company, Hybrid Technologies. Spoiled rotten, Astoria was mostly a figurehead with little control over the company's goings-on. Instead, she spent most of her time throwing herself lavish parties and wondering why nobody wanted to be her friend. She has the bizarre ability to jinx any mechanical device just by touching it, which is just one more reason she was kept away from her father's company and its equipment. Her father gave her a necklace with a top-secret formula and requested she never take the necklace off.

In September of 1985, Carlton-Ritz had an affair with racecar driver Auggie Cahnay in which she became pregnant, but didn't realize it.

The Girl Who Loved Powerglide[]

G1 Astoria Carlton-Ritz

"Didn't I say I never hang out with the Hilton sisters?"

While Astoria was throwing herself a birthday party (being attended by the board of her late father's company), the Coneheads came trying to kidnap her, as Megatron believed that she had her father's energy formula. Powerglide, who was passing by, rescued her and took her to the Autobots' New York City base. Optimus Prime, believing that the Decepticons wanted access to the company's industrial capabilities, ordered Powerglide to escort her back home. However, the Coneheads again attacked, this time succeeding in capturing Astoria and leaving Powerglide damaged.

Astoria was taken to the Sky Platform, the Decepticons' new power-gathering facility, where Soundwave and Rumble attempted to interrogate her about her father's formula with the psycho-probe but got nowhere. Megatron then tried his own hand at interrogating her. What he experienced was frustration beyond anything Starscream could hope to cause. Finally, Powerglide arrived and managed to rescue her. While no one was looking, Astoria destroyed the gem in her necklace, which contained the formula Megatron sought. She was then sent home, while Powerglide seemed to experience some sort of strange reaction in his circuits.

TFUMUX Universe[]

Shortly thereafter, Carlton-Ritz realized she was pregnant, and after spending some time narrowing down the possible fathers, realized she'd been impregnated by Auggie Cahnay. On 6 June 1986, Carlton-Ritz gave birth to a son, who she named Carlton. Shortly thereafter, she married Auggie Cahnay on June 23, 1986, giving her son Auggie's last name.

Notes[]

  • When her mind was being probed, the psycho-probe said that Astoria's mind was "completely empty". Let's not speculate what this means.
  • She was slammed by Powerglide a few times without getting hurt. (Not that way.) Not to mention, practically thrown out of the room for "jinxing" the controls and pushed off when the Sky Platform was falling.
  • She can tear a metal cover with her bare hands.
