Ark (Starship)

## Ark

The ***Ark***, also known as **Project Generation One**, is a fictional transport of the *MDC's* *Transformer Titans* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. It was a massive, city-sized starship that was once the flagship of the Autobot fleet.

The *Ark* is a *Vanguard*-class Deep Space Interceptor. It is operated by the on-board computer, Teletraan-1. It was the spaceship that the Autobots left Cybertron on during the Great Exodus.

The *Ark* was built and designed by the Autobots under Optimus' orders to travel far away from Cybertron in order to find a new place to call home and search for the lost AllSpark before the Decepticons could seize it first.

Unlike other galactic transports, the *Ark* was extremely large, and had other special modifications made by Optimus Prime, such as its gold color, as other transports were gray. Its environment is fully automated and self-sufficient.

The ***Ark*** is the name given to the Autobot spaceship that, in many universes, originally carried the Autobot and Decepticon armies to Earth.

The *Ark* is a *Vanguard*-class Deep Space Interceptor.
It has five decks and houses a full crew complement of 300 Transformers (although it can be flown by only a handful if necessary). For engines, it features 4 Hyperfuel Intake Accelerators.

The Ark is a massive Autobot starship built under Optimus Prime's orders so that the Autobots could travel far from Cybertron and search for the lost Allspark before the Decepticons could seize it first. It has several Autobot shuttles that can be used to deploy the entire crew in small teams without landing the larger vessel. It is operated by the on-board computer, Teletraan-1 and its successor, Teletraan-X.

The Ark was designed by the Autobots to be able to transport them away from Cybertron in order to find a new place to call home. Piloted by Roller, the Ark is able to convert into a powerful space station. It is able to launch protoforms to nearby planets and features sophisticated sensor equipment which was used to track down the AllSpark's energy signal.

Once the flagship of the Autobot fleet, the Ark and its captain, Optimus Prime, were lost in space centuries ago. (It lies wrecked in the mountain.)

"*I have commissioned a new galactic transport for us, an* Ark*, in which we shall make our journey through the stars.*"
