There are [[Metallikato|Decepticon legends]] of an "Ultimate Warrior" and tales of the "Soul of Cybertron". These are merely corrupted myths based on the truth—'''The Last Autobot'''!

The Last Autobot is a guardian that [[Primus]] prepared, against the day that he would no longer be able to guide his creations. A stoic being, the Last Autobot awaits his destiny.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
Billions of years ago, before going into his sleep, Primus prepared a Transformer called the Last Autobot. He gave the Last Autobot a measure of his power and set him to wait for the 'chosen one'.

After Primus' death, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] appeared to be tearing itself apart and the Transformers abandoned their home world. The only remaining Transformer was [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], whose soul was in the body of [[Hi-Q]].

Prime traveled, along with the [[Neo-Knights]], into the depths of Cybertron where he discovered the Last Autobot. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the Last Autobot awakened, he was surprised to find the form that the chosen one had taken—two souls in one body, [[Powermaster|a Nebulan body]]. (It's a long story.)

The Last Autobot merged the two souls into one new Optimus Prime body. He revealed that Cybertron wasn't tearing itself apart, but merely reformatting after the death of Primus. The Last Autobot stabilized the process, allowing Cybertron to reform without damaging itself.

After this, the Last Autobot traveled with Prime and the Neo Knights to the planet [[Klo]], where they attacked the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. The Autobots were being slaughtered by the Decepticons, and the Last Autobot assisted in the battle—not actively, but by resurrecting all the Autobots who had fallen.

Finally, the Autobots (and presumably the Last Autobot) returned to Cybertron, while the Decepticons exiled themselves to deep space. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

The Last Autobot created [[Modus Prime]] and the [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] to cleanse Cybertron of [[Demon]]s and [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]] before the Autobots returned. {{storylink|The New World}}

===Regeneration One===
For the next 21 years, the Last Autobot helped shape and steward a new age of peaceful coexistence on a revitalized Cybertron. Watching over [[Iacon]] from on high, he remained an enigmatic but potent figure of authority. So naturally when the Decepticons started causing trouble again, they had to deal with him first - as [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] hacked into the orbital defense grid and used one of the anti-asteroid satellite cannons to target and destroy the Last Autobot. {{storylink|Counterpoint}}

==Notes==
* You might find that the Last Autobot's face looks familiar. Can you guess why? That's right, he looks a lot like the Autobot symbol!
* Despite Primus being "neutral" in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Last Autobot is pretty blatantly an Autobot—most likely because he was created eons before the Decepticon movement began and all of Cybertron's inhabitants were Autobots.
*Simon Furman meant to do more with the quest for the Last Autobot, but the cancellation put paid to that. He stated at OTFCC 2004 that he re-used some of his ideas in some of the [[War Within]] stories [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt]
* [[Vector Prime]]'s design mirrors the Last Autobot in some ways, including their similar [[alternate mode]]s and their Autobot symbol-inspired faces. Both also directly serve Primus.
