Who are the elite?

[Nigel]

The back of Mixmaster's box reads, "Mixmaster is the resident chemist and explosives expert for the elite."

Although the text is all capitals, it sounds to me like "elite" is a noun, ie the Elite.

But who are the Elite? I don't remember them being mentioned in the film. Were they mentioned in the comics?

I dont think so, I think the elite just means he is chosen to work for the best as he's so good at chemistry

Yeah, I think you're right, looking at the full US version of the text rather than the Euro packaging: "resident chemist and explosives expert for the elite among the Decepticons..."
