The flagship of the Autobots commanded by Optimus Prime in several ''Transformers'' series.<ref>"Transformers: an adult primer // Here's help understanding toy robots, the latest rage", Chicago Sun-Times; December 16, 1986; by Patricia Smith</ref> The computer of the ship was called ] (voice provided by ]), and it provided intelligence to the Autobots for their various missions.<ref>High on sci-fi. Star Tribune, March 2, 2007, by Salas, Randy A.</ref> The '']'' saw it crashing on Earth several million years prior to 1984, and it was discovered some three million years before then by the characters of '']''. ]'s comic series revealed that Optimus Prime's Ark was actually the second ship to bear the name, the first belonging to Nova Prime. The ''Ark'' was later seen in the ''Transformers: Cybertron'' series as the combined form of four Autobot ships: the Atlantis, Ogygia, Lemuria, and Hyperborea. In ''Transformers: Timelines''/''Shattered Glass'', a mirror Ark serves as the warship of the evil mirror-universe Optimus Prime, which was stolen by ] to invade Earth. |

*'''''Harbinger'''''. A Decepticon ship in the '']'' TV series. It crashed on Earth long time ago in pieces. The ship carried a prototype of staff-like weapon known as "the Immobilizer". After Starscream left the Decepticons he went in hiding into the ship, where he discovered an old Decepticon cloning experiment that he used to create several clones of himself. The ship, which was equipped with a groundbridge, continued to serve as his base of operations until he rejoined the Decepticons. Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Rafael later claimed the vessel as the new Autobot base, until they were relocated to a military base. |
|
|
*'''''Jackhammer'''''. Personal space cruiser used by ] in the '']'' TV series. In various episodes it is shown to be capable of both space flight and atmospheric dogfighting, being maneuverable enough to fight toe-to-toe against Laserbeak in the air. Not a very tough craft, the ''Jackhammer'' tends to get shot down quite often, but due to its rugged design and Wheeljack's skills as a mechanic it's soon airborne once more. The ''Jackhammer'' was destroyed at the end of the second season of ''Transformers: Prime'', but Wheeljack survived. |
|
|
*'''''Lost Light'''''. A ship used by several Autobots led by Rodimus in ]'s Generation 1 comic series ''The Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye''. It is equipped with quantum engines enabling FTL propulsion. |
|
|
*'''''Longbow'''''. A ship commanded by Rodimus in a ''Transformers: Timelines'' addition to ''Transformers: Cybertron''. |
|
|
*'''''Megastar'''''. The ] starship and mobile command center in the '']'' animated series. The ''Megastar'''s most obvious physical characteristics are its two huge, humanoid arms, one of which ends in a five-fingered fist, the other in a two-pronged claw. Whenever it appears in an episode, the Megastar is always in a completely different location than its last appearance. Megatron/Galvatron was shown to be capable of combining with it after transforming into his giant hand mode, and used it to battle Fortress Maximus, but was defeated. |
|
|
*'''''Miranda II''''' is a spaceship in the '']'' cartoon series, named for the wife of its creator. The ''Miranda II'' bears both the ] symbol and the logo of the Earth Federation. It serves as the primary means of interstellar transportation for the Autobots and ] throughout most of the series. It was later shot down and crash-landed on Cybertron around the time that Megatron discovered Super Energon and was reformatted into Galvatron. |
|
|
*''''']'''''. The ] flagship in several ''Transformers'' series. The ship was never named in the original series, where it appeared in two episodes, only being given a name in the ] series finale.<ref>TV guide: TV on DVD 2006: The Ultimate Resource to Television</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seibertron.com/database/character.php?char_id=2805&view=appearances|title=Nemesis|work=Seibertron.com}}</ref> |
|
|
*'''''Proudstar'''''. A ship introduced in ], where it is a prime part of the storyline. A cyberforming vessel created and captained by Nova Prime, it was intended to make various worlds habitable for Cybertronian life. However, the influence of Unicron upon the ship's crew resulted in the ship being used to cyberform inhabited worlds rather than lifeless ones as originally intended, with it eventually crashing on Earth before it could repeat the process there. Megatron and his Decepticons later discovered it and attempted to complete the mission the corrupted Nova Prime set out on, but were thwarted by Optimus Prime and the Autobots. |
|
|
*'''''Sigma'''''. The ship used by Rescue Squad Sigma-17 in ''].'' It was sent on patrol near Quintesson space when it encountered a distress signal from a derelict ship that was generated by an Energon eating space creature. In an effort to evade the creature, the crew-Heatwave, Blades, Chase, and Boulder-went into stasis, and drifted without power for some time before their ship was drawn to Earth by a signal from Optimus Prime. The ''Sigma'' would subsequently be stored in an underground hangar on Griffin Rock, and be employed in case of emergencies that required space travel. This included returning to the site of the derelict ship, the Rescue Bots being unaware that the Energon Eater was responsible for the distress call. ] later stole the ship and left Earth, only to return; the ship's engine was later used to propel Griffin Rock after it was teleported to the North Pole and had to be flown back to its original position.. |
|
|
*'''''Spanner'''''. The ship commanded by Longrack in the story "]". |
|
|
*'''''Steelhaven'''''. The ship commanded by Fortress Maximus in the Marvel Transformers comics. Later used as the name of the ship commanded by ] in ''Transformers Animated''. |
|
|
*'''''Tidal Wave'''''. No relation to the ] of the same name, the ''Tidal Wave'' is the flagship of the Star Seekers in the novels '']'' and ''].'' Described as a large, black wedge of a ship, it is apparently larger and even more heavily armed than the Decpticon ''Nemesis'', but less maneuverable as a result. It pursued the ''Ark'' to Velocitron and then to Junkion, where it succeeded in acquiring the Requiem Blaster and a built in space bridge. It later engaged the ''Nemesis'' in battle alongside other Star Seeker ships, but lost much power after firing a single shot from the Requiem Blaster. The pirates were forced to jettison the blaster and retreat in order to save their flagship from the Decepticons. It is also the ship of the Star Seekers in the ''Transformers: Timelines'' story "Hoist the Flag", where it does possess the ability to transform into a giant robot. |
