The Ark left Cybertron with its [[space bridge]] [[pillar]]s but was waylaid by [[Decepticon]]s. The ship floated in space until it finally landed on [[Earth]]'s [[moon (moon)|moon]] in [[1961]]. [[NASA]] detected the crash, and [[President of the United States|US President]] [[John F. Kennedy]] initiated a plan to land on the moon and explore the wreck. [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] landed on the moon and scouted the Ark in [[1969]].

Meanwhile, the [[Soviet Union]]'s space program photographed Decepticons removing thousands of pillars in [[1963]]. Eventually unmanned probes retrieved a fuel cell from the ship, which was transported to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]] for study, leading to [[1986]]'s [[wikipedia:Chernobyl disaster|meltdown]]. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] obtained the fuel cell in [[2012]], alerting him to the Ark's presence on the moon. Optimus and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] journeyed to the moon on the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'', retrieving Sentinel's body from the crash vault and the control pillar. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

*'''Autobot Ark''' (Cyberverse playset, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV01'''
**''Accessories'': [[Roller (DOTM)|Autobot Roller]] figure, 2 missiles, 2 guns

: The Ark is a playset which transforms from a starship to a space station, scaled to work with [[Cyberverse]] Legion-class figures (and notionally Commander classic figures too, though they don't fit to well inside it). It comes packaged with [[Roller (DOTM)|Autobot Roller]], features several electronic lights and sounds, and includes all the generic "playset" special features that you'd expect: an elevating "repair bay", a "prison cell" for Decepticon figures with spring-shut doors, a tilting ramp at the front for vehicles to roll down, and a rotating light-up turret in the center. For more Transformers-specific fun, the left bay of the base mode features five flip-up [[space bridge]] [[pillar]]s, and the ship comes with six removable weapons, all outfitted with [[MechTech]] [[5mm post]]s: two swivelling guns mounted on its rear, two forward-mounted missile racks, and two prominent guns that sit beside them. Both of these two larger guns hold a transparent missile, but only the one left of the prow features a spring-loaded firing mechanism.

:In ship mode, placing Roller or any suitably-sized Cyberverse figure in the opening cockpit depresses a hinged panel on the cockpit floor, which triggers engine and flight noises, and a pulsing light within the ship. Pressing the golden button just beside the cockpit lights up the twin guns beneath it, and triggers electronic laser firing noises. Pulling on either side of the ship initiates a partial automatic transformation, as the central tower raises and the classic transformation noise plays. In this mode, pressing a button on the base floor sets off blasting sounds and lights up the central turret. Placing a vehicle-mode Cyberverse figure on the central ramp depresses a button hidden beneath it, which causes a power-up noise to build, accompanied by steadily-brightening lights in the forward cannons, until the switch beside the ramp is tilted to send the figure rolling off with a whooshing noise.

:The ship is decorated with numerous 5mm and 3mm ports and [[C joint]] bars all over its hull to hold a veritable arsenal MechTech and Cyberverse weapons; in base mode, in particular, there are c joint bars on the left side and clips on the right, allowing other Cyberverse playsets to connect up to the Ark, a la [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] or the [[Micromaster|Micromaster Stations]], to create a sprawling micro-world.

==Notes==
* The Tommy Kennedy segments have been in rights limbo and not available for DVD inclusion precisely because nobody knows what the heck happened to Jason Jansen, where he is, or how to contact him. Of course, the matter hasn't been helped by the fact the [[fandom]] thought he was Jason Jan''son'' for years....

Giga and Mega's base

[[Image:Giga and Mega's base.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]

'''Giga and Mega's base''' is a hidden [[Decepticon]] island stronghold located out in the ocean, maintained by [[Giga]] and [[Mega]]. There, they have studied the intricacies of [[Chōkon Power]] and the application of it to [[Godmaster]]s. It is only accessible through submarine or aircraft.

The Decepticon [[Pretender]]s and the [[Headmaster Junior]]s were summoned to Giga and Mega's abode and the six used the [[Weapon 925]] submarine as transport. Once inside, they were welcomed through a speaker and led to a expanse of grass and ruins located inside. There, the Pretenders were forced into battle with "knights"—actually [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster]] in disguise. Once the knights proved themselves the Pretenders' superiors, Mega and Giga revealed themselves. The couple bade their underlings to come further inside. In the control room, Mega and Giga formally introduced the brothers, Hydra and Buster, and the concept of the Godmasters—a force beyond Headmaster and Pretender. The two revealed the cumulation of all of their research when Buster and Hydra showed off their [[transtector]]s, combining with them to transform into giant robots. The Godmaster brothers left the base in jet mode with [[Blood]] to show the Pretender how things were done. {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}}

The usefulness of the base done, Giga planned to destroy the base and permanently relocate to the [[Decepticon Base]] once preparations were complete. However, Mega requested that the base be left as is and stated intentions on using it as a secret laboratory. The other Decepticons had no objection to this. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Autobots Are in Trouble}}

It's fate after the Masterforce war is unknown.

Devil Thunder amplifier

:''The Devil Thunder amplifier is an installation from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Devil Thunder amplifier.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

The '''Devil Thunder amplifier''' is a [[Decepticon]] building at the [[South Pole]], made to amplify [[Devil Z]]'s [[Devil Power|Devil Thunder]] to kill all of [[human]]ity in one fell swoop.

==Fiction==
===''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon===
Devil Z, in [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]'s body, was finished showcasing the power of Devil Thunder by itself in [[Europe]] when he began to depart the [[Matterhorn]] for [[Antarctica]]. He was forcibly stopped from flying off by [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]], who demanded to know what he was doing. Devil Z humored the [[Godmaster]] by explaining his final trump card, the Devil Thunder amplifier.

He never got to use it, as God Ginrai defeated the Decepticon soon after. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

What became of the amplifier is unknown.
