The 8-year old daughter of Dr. Isaac Sumdac, Sari lived a sheltered life until she befriends the Autobots after they saved her upon their reawakening.
She is the primary source of information regarding Earth and its cultures and customs. The security key card she carries becomes a curative spark key after her encounter with the Allspark, allowing her to heal Transformers. Her key can also detect danger. She is an intelligent girl, with a mischievous streak, to the point where she once used her Allspark-enhanced key card to frighten Bumblebee while telling a ghost story, but she also has a kind heart. She cares about her dad, who works really hard. Though like most 8-year-olds, she has a fit when things don't go her way, and freaked out at the first sight of Autobots.
[edit] Animated series
She found an abandoned factory owned by her father as an inner-city shelter/base of operations for the Autobots so that they could stay there instead of always being on The Autobot ship beneath Lake Erie. She soon becomes fast and good friends with Bumblebee and Bulkhead.
In the episode "Sound & Fury", Sari's new toy musical robot, Soundwave, seems to have an evil streak - and the ability to control other machines - but Bulkhead is the only one who sees it. Under Megatron's command, Soundwave upgrades himself and kidnaps Sari, but is seemingly destroyed by Bulkhead.
In the episode "Survival of the Fittest", Sari is kidnapped by the Dinobots. So Prowl and Bulkhead head to a mysterious island to investigate - with a highly suspicious Captain Fanzone on their tail. The orchestrator of these events is revealed to be Meltdown.
During the two part season finale "Megatron Rising", Optimus Prime deems that it is too dangerous for Sari to possess the key anymore, and gives it to Ratchet. Ratchet is then attacked by Blitzwing and Lugnut, who steals the key, and uses it to revive Megatron. When Megatron boards the Autobot's ship and absorbs the Allspark, Sari, who had managed to regain the key, convinced Optimus to use it on Megatron. The Allspark energy was dispersed, leaving the key, back in Sari's custody, the most powerful Cybertronian artifact on Earth, and too powerful for any Autobot to possess.
At the end of the episode "The Elite Guard", it was revealed that there is no record of Sari existing, no will, no birth certificate, no adoption papers, social security number or any kind of record, whatsoever. She is cast out of Sumdac tower, can't bring her Dogbot and Tutorbot and is forced to move in with the Autobots. Bulkhead and Bumblebee try to cheer her up but all what they did was make things worse.
During the episode "Return Of The Headmaster", Bumblebee and Bulkhead try figure out why Sari has no documentation of being Prof. Sumdac's daughter. Bumblebee suggests Sari is an alien and Bulkhead suggests Sari is a robot created by Mr. Sumdac. This leads to wondering of who is Sari's mother.
