The Autobot Academy Tactical Artificial Intelligence Unit, colloquially known as TAI, is a holographic AI working for the Autobot Academy

## Official Bio

*The latest generation of the Teletraan Series, specifically a spin-off, the Tactical AI series is a highly sought-after advantage, with nearly every Autobot base relying on one or more units to coordinate between different forces. Most notably, all TAI units have distinct personalities, ranging from the calm and kind to quick to berate. Most of the time they're a voice people can interact with, but sometimes they generate holo-avatars for ease of interaction. As a result, it's not uncommon for a TAI to form a respectful friendship with the Autobots they work with.*

## History

Part of the Tactical-AI spin-off of the Teletraan-series, A.A.T.A.I.U. was installed into the Autobot Academy, primarily working under Fortress Maximus, though also interacting with and providing aid to the other students.

*During The First Test A.A.T.A.I.U. was contacted by Alarmus to have her teleport the unconscious "GorillaBot" to the medbay, which she then did.*

In Fight Sim Club, A.A.T.A.I.U. responded to the request Hot Shot made for a status report on his first training exercise and introduced herself. Allowing him to call her "TAI" due to the urgency of the situation, she told him that the only focused part of the villain team's rampage was at the nuclear power plant.

During Vital Flame, Fort Max asked TAI if she could ban Nightracer from the internet, only for TAI to inform him that it wasn't possible.

In War of the Clones, TAI reported to Fort Max on the aftermath of the clone incident, noting that three of the recovered clones were peaceful enough to form Class 4-X, while the others were being contained to keep them out of trouble, with the ones that hadn't been caught having vanished into the Forest of Trials.

Later in Your Destiny In Your Hands, TAI was called by Jazz, and under the threat of having her browser history revealed to Fortress Maximus, she created a giant Star Convoy holoconstruct dubbed "Supreme Convoy" to battle against the giant holoconstruct Shockaract had made of himself in the Simulation Site until it was shut off.

In Administration's Burden, TAI asked Fortress Maximus if he was okay when he was deep in thought, and when he admitted to feeling that he was losing control and not doing enough to help with all the bizarre events that had taken place thus far, TAI comforted him by pointing out situations like the clone incident had little precedent. She then informed him that she had contacted him to let him know that the Aerialbot Academy transport was arriving with their students for the Festival of the Stars.

*During Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala! TAI informed Fortress Maximus that Sentinel Prime's shuttle had landed on platform 3.*

In Knowing Me, Knowing You, TAI let Hot Shot know that classes were cancelled, but that there would be a gala that day, running through what it would entail.

Chromia offered to have TAI make Prowl some Deadlock holograms to fight in the holodeck during Light it Up.

### The Siege - Revised Timeline

During Return to Autobot Academy TAI informed Fortress Maximus that reports of Skyweb sightings had come from several other planets, and that no origin for it could be identified. However, as it was confirmed to be a solely visual phenomenon and seemed to be completely harmless, she suggested simply observing it to increase their limited information on it. She was then asked by Glyph for the time and date, who used it to confirm that she and the rest of the time travelling students had arrived a week before the Siege of Acadeimos.

## Powers and Abilities

As a tactical AI, TAI possesses incredibly strategic abilities, and is capable of accessing any systems at the Autobot Academy, and retrieve files. She also capable of producing a hologram of herself, or talk through the comms of those on the Autobot Academy networks.
