This plan was foiled by Galvatron, Megatron and Ratchet crashing the party.

It was recovered this time by Shockwave and Starscream, who repaired it and took it to Earth to conquer that planet with it. Grimlock, being the master of tactics that he is, physically rammed Unicron with the powerfully armed starship, which was then abandoned and crashed on Cybertron. It was recovered by the Dinobots and flown to Cybertron to engage Unicron. The Ark hung around near Earth for a time, until it was abandoned in orbit when Primus teleported all nearby Transformers back to Cybertron to face Unicron. The shuttle, Thunderwing, and the Creation Matrix were ejected into space.

Once aboard, the corrupted Creation Matrix fought the Autobots through his vessel, Thunderwing, who was beating everyone up until Nightbeat harpooned him with the shuttle and opened the cargo bay doors. Thunderwing was granted access to the Ark while aboard a shuttle stolen from Grimlock's search party. The Creation Matrix was eventually found by Thunderwing, but it had been corrupted by evil and began controlling Thunderwing's actions. The Ark served as a base of operations of sorts for the various search parties during the Matrix quest. Wheeljack installed within them the minds of five Autobot warriors, which were encoded in crystals before the Autobots left Cybertron.ĭuring Grimlock's first term as Autobot leader, he had the ship repaired and returned to space.

It revived and, unable to distinguish Autobot from Decepticon or to detect organic life (clearly it had suffered additional malfunctions since creating the Dinobots), it revived both sides to transform into the machines it perceived as the planet's dominant lifeforms. Hilary erupted, jarring the ship back to life. Upon the disappearance of these warriors in their attempt to destroy Shockwave, the Ark shut itself down.įour million years later, Mount St. Hilary, a volcano located a small distance outside of what would one day become Portland, Oregon.Īfter the crash, some of the Ark's systems still functioned, and when they detected the Decepticon Shockwave making planetfall, the ship revived five of her Autobot crew and rebuilt them into the Dinobots. Hoping to end the threat of Megatron forever, Optimus Prime purposely crashed the ship into the passing planet Earth. When this was done and her reserves depleted, the Decepticons attacked and boarded her. It was launched to clear a path for the wandering planet Cybertron through an asteroid field. It is also referred to as the most powerful starship in Cybertron's history, and control of it was considered a huge tactical advantage. The Ark was "the last of the great arks," suggesting that there had been previous Vanguard-class ships.
