Ark, The Autobot Spacecraft

Ark, the Autobot Spacecraft.

Ark in The Agenda pt. 1

Ark in the Beast Wars TV series.

The Ark is the name given to the city-sized Autobot spaceship (for a city on earth is about 10 miles wide) that, in many universes, originally carried the Autobot and Decepticon armies to Earth, shortly after being attacked by the Nemesis.

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). Its environment is fully automated and self-sufficient. For engines, it features 4 Hyperfuel Intake Accelerators.

It is armed with 16 particle-combustion cannons (port), 16 laser emitters (starboard), a primary starfield missile launcher, and an Overshock sonic battery. It also contains Teletraan 1.

In Beast Wars, it was used as Maximal HQ after the Predacons destroyed the Axalon. Inside the ship, it has an Autobot Shuttle Omega Delta near the series finale, something that the Maximals used to take their predacon prison back to Cybertron.
