The '''''Ark''''', aka '''Project Generation One''', was the city-sized ship that the [[Autobot]]s left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] on.
==Fiction==
===''Exodus'' novel===
When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] removed the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] poisoning Cybertron's [[core]] with [[Dark Energon]], it informed him that while healing, the planet could not sustain a fraction of the life it currently did, and the Autobots needed to leave. Optimus announced Project Generation One to his comrades, many of whom deemed the notion suicidal as the Cybertronians had not left the planet since the [[Golden Age]]. Regardless, [[Jazz (Prime)|Jazz]] said he would rather die on a starship than on a planet, and declared "Let's build this ''Ark''."

[[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] oversaw the ''Ark'''s construction in the [[Well of All Sparks]], installing [[Teletraan-1 (Prime)|Teletraan-1]] inside, while Optimus drew out and crashed [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] aboard the ''[[Eight Track]]''. When they returned the ''Ark'' was completed and they boarded the ship. Alpha Trion refused a place, aware [[Vector Sigma]] would keep him alive, while [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]], [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]], [[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Springer (Prime)|Springer]] and the [[Wrecker]]s sacrificed a chance to leave, giving time for the ''Ark'' to launch by keeping Trypticon at bay.

However, Trypticon transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and pursued the ''Ark'' into the last [[space bridge]], but when it emerged, the Decepticons were nowhere to be found. The ''Ark'' was outside an unknown [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] where the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]] was detected. [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] asked Optimus if they knew the way home: he replied the [[Matrix of Leadership]] would guide them back one day.

After defeating [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]], Optimus gathered Bumblebee, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]], [[Air Raid (Prime)|Air Raid]] and [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]] around him, telling them he had commissioned a new ship, the ''Ark'', to take them off Cybertron when it was time for them to leave. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

Upon Trypticon's defeat, Optimus said once Megatron's threat is contained on Cybertron, they will leave the planet in the Ark.

The [[Autobot]]s' medical officer, '''Ratchet''' has a dry wit, often giving his wounded comrades a hard time for taking hits he somehow avoids.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Ratchet made his name during the [[Praxus|Praxian]] stalemate. He and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] fought in a few battles together, during which he taught the younger Autobot how to apply first aid. He repaired his throat after [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] destroyed it in revenge for ejecting the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]] into space, enabling Bumblebee to speak from time to time. After Megatron invaded [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] and took the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ratchet welded [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]]'s face and stabilized [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]'s condition. When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] asked Ratchet if Omega was ready to fight again, the offended medic responded that if Optimus wanted Omega to fight after the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s blew him out of the sky, [[Dark Energon]]-infused gladiators attacked him and Megatron tore out the Chamber out of his chest, then he wanted another surgeon. Optimus knew he had to apologize but was too preoccupied with rescuing [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]. When the Autobots left Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', Ratchet informed Optimus and [[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]] that Omega was repaired and ready to distract [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}''

During the [[Decepticon]]s' siege of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]], Ratchet was assigned to Optimus, and helped him rescue a courier named [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], who informed Optimus that with the presumed death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], the Council was putting him in command. The three of them headed back to the command center, receiving a message from [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] that the [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbots]] were being overwhelmed and needed support. It was decided that the planetary guns, disabled earlier by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron's]] forces, needed to be brought back online. Informing Jetfire that he was taking temporary command, Optimus took Ratchet and Bumblebee with him on the mission, though when Ratchet questioned the "temporary" part, Optimus brushed it aside.

When that mission was completed, they decided their next stop was the [[Decagon]], in order to re-establish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. Hitting serious resistance, including several [[Decepticon war machine]]s and more than a few damaged lifts which Ratchet puzzled out a way around, they nonetheless prevailed with help from Jetfire and [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], before reaching the Decagon itself, where they encountered the former Autobot [[Air Commander|Sky Commander]], [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. They managed to defeat him as well and retook the Decagon.

After Optimus was named the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he went on a mission to free [[Cybertron]]'s core of Megatron's [[Dark Energon]] corruption. In order to do so, however, he needed to open the [[Omega Gate]], which would require freeing [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] from Decepticon captivity. Omega was still badly damaged from his battle with Megatron's forces, so Optimus called in Ratchet, whom Prime, [[Warpath (Prime)|Warpath]], and Ironhide protected during his operation to repair Omega Supreme. After the Omega Gate was opened, Ratchet returned to base with Omega, as field repairs could only do so much.

When [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] fell to the surface from orbit, Ratchet organized the rescue effort. After Trypticon was defeated, he praised Optimus on his success, but was the price paid was costly - many Autobots were lost, and those remaining were now forced to abandon Cybertron while the planetary [[Primus|Core]] repaired the damage. Ratchet was one of those who stayed behind with Optimus to resist Megatron's schemes, and to build an ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'' to carry them from their home when the time came. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron — Autobots''===

Ratchet would go on to become a member of Optimus' innner circle. Ratchet greeted a new Autobot recruit who was being trained by Ironhide and Silverbolt during an invasion of the training facility. He often worked together with turncoat scientist Jetfire, usually in developing a way to stop the Dark Energon.

Ratchet participated in many of the war's campaigns with Optimus, and journeyed as far as Cybertron's very core with his leader. Upon saving the Core, Optimus ordered a mass evacuation of Cybertron's Autobot population. Ratchet was among the Autobots who defeated Megatron's secret weapon, the monstrous titan Trypticon. Upon Trypticon's defeat, Ratchet elected to remain behind on Cybertron with Optimus and a few other Autobots to protect the planet from Megatron's tyranny.

:''Thundercracker is an [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:WFC_Thundercracker.jpg|thumb|350px|Someone told me I was meeting Mike Costa here.]]

A scientist by nature, with a more upperclass air, '''Thundercracker''' stands out among his fellow Decepticons in being a fairly calm and level-headed fellow. Lacking the ambition of [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] and the cruel thuggery of [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]], he displays little malice towards his enemies and takes no joy from battle. For Thundercracker, conflict is simply an application of physics and energy distribution... in the direction of his foes.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
When [[Decepticon]]s bombed [[Altihex]] Casino, [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] told [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] that Thundercracker and [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] were his trusted lieutenants and that they would take him to safety. They actually took him to [[Kaon]] Prison. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Graham McTavish]] (English)

Thundercracker served with Skywarp, former Sky Commander Starscream and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] on an dilapidated orbital research station that once experimented on the powerful, but highly dangerous [[Dark Energon]]. This made it a target for the leader of the Decepticons, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], who wished to restart Dark Energon production in his plans to revitalise [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Megatron attacked the station and fought his way into the laboratory, and despite Starscream's attempts to destroy the remaining Dark Energon, Megatron withstood its destructive power and bent it to his will. His survival intrigued Starscream, who offered to serve Megatron in exchange for learning how to manipulate Dark Energon himself, and Thundercracker and Skywarp fell into line. Jetfire declared them traitors and left to warn [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]. Thundercracker and Skywarp were prepared to give chase, but Megatron allowed the Autobot to leave, as he wished Zeta Prime to know his demise was coming. Megatron scoffed at the idea of being given what he could simply take, until Starscream revealed that there was very little Dark Energon left on the research station, but he knew how to manufacture more, and that the ancient, long-forgotten [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] needed to be reactivated before they could do so.

Thundercracker, Starscream and Skywarp were sent the cliffs of [[Kaon]] where they could make their way towards the core. Thundercracker commented with wonder that he had never travelled this far into Cybertron before, for which Skywarp labelled him as being boring as always. As they entered the Energon Reservoir, Thundercracker warned his team mates to avoid touching the flowing streams and waterfalls of raw liquid energon. Making their way out of the reservoir, the three fliers faced their first serious challenge when an Autobot cruiser appeared in a canyon they needed to travel through. The trio crippled the cruiser's weapons system, fought their way past the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbots]] and into the ship. Defeating the ship's defenders, they then destroyed it by placing a detpack on the ship's power core. While Starscream and Skywarp busied themselves with glory hogging and relishing the battle against the Autobots, Thundercracker tried to keep them alive, using his [[Energon repair ray]] to heal their wounds. Deeper into the core, they encountered strange creatures the likes of which Thundercracker had never seen before. Eventually, they found themselves before the mechanism need to restart the Energon Bridge, but Thundercracker's scans detected something very unusual about the machine. True to his word, when the arrogant Starscream pushed his way past and injected Dark Energon into it, it activated its defense systems, revealing itself to be [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]. The three Decepticons were then forced to fight a desperate battle where the Sentinel threw heat-seeking fireballs at them, activated power energy beams and turned the floor into lava. Exploiting the machine's cooling down period, they were eventually victorious, and barely escaped with their lives when the Dark Energon infected the facility and reactivated the Energon Bridge, which sent its energon bouncing along satellites to Megatron's Dark Energon facility.

Shortly after the defeat of Zeta Prime, [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]'s guardian, [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]], chased and cornered Megatron's team at an Autobot anti-aircraft terrace. When Omega's armour was breached by Megatron, Starscream led Skywarp and Thundercracker in shooting down the mighty Autobot and forcing him to crash land in a sub-level below. After Megatron defeated Omega Supreme and forced him to open the [[Omega Gate]], Thundercracker and the others watched as Megatron achieved his plan to infect Cybertron's core with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

Thundercracker served under Megatron loyally during the final days of the war. He followed Megatron into battle against the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme, but not without expressing his numbing fear of the giant first.

{{mainpic}}

'''Grimlock''' is a dim-witted yet powerful soldier in the [[Autobot]] army. He likes when things go his way, including his craving to be the Autobot leader. He is good friends with [[Swoop (Prime)|Swoop]] and wields his prized [[energon sword]] in battle.

==Games==
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Crispin Freeman]] (English)

Grimlock and Swoop were two powerful best friends who'd apparently taken no side in the war for the planet. Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, came to them to recruit them to the cause. Grimlock dismissed the Decepticon threat, claiming they were "too stupid" to mess with him and Swoop. The Autobots tried to explain that the Dark Energon could ravage Cybertron permanently, but Grimlock and Ironhide almost came to blows. Optimus began playing to Grimlock's self-centered ego, saying no one was stronger than Grimlock and Swoop, to the former's pleasure. Ironhide and Bumblebee joined in, mentioning with the Dark Energon, Megatron and his forces could be stronger than Grimlock and Swoop.

Grimlock decided that he and Swoop would consider joining the Autobots, but just as negotiations were to begin, Grimlock noticed Swoop had been missing since the Autobots arrived. Grimlock said they would speak once Swoop was rescued from the Decepticons. Once Swoop was safe, he immediately joined the Autobots in gratitude. Grimlock declared he wouldn't join the Autobots yet, but tag along to protect his best friend.

Grimlock subsequently actively participated in the campaigns to save the Core of Cybertron. Grimlock said that even though the Decepticon army was waiting for them at the Core, all they'd wait for from him was a butt-kicking. Ironhide pondered aloud if it was a good idea to bring Grimlock along, but as Optimus put it, "Do you want to be the one to argue with them?"

Grimlock also participated in the battle against the massive Decepticon Trypticon, and presumably stayed behind with Optimus on Cybertron while the Autobot population evacuated the planet.

Grimlock was apparently wandering around an Energon purification station the Autobots had been using, and picked a fight with the Autobots. Grimlock finally joined the Autobots once they defeated him, much to his suprise that they defeated him.

'''Starscream''' was the Air Commander of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s finest air warriors. But once the war began, Starscream saw opportunity with the rebel upstart [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. Now he leads the countless Seekers who joined Megatron's Decepticons. Some day, he plans to undermine Megatron and take his leadership position for himself yadda yadda yadda.

{{quote|Perfect, just like the one who fired it!|Starscream after achieving a headshot|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}

===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===

Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. As [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] fell in chaos following bombings by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]] followers, Starscream aided in [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]'s kidnapping during an attack at [[Altihex]] Casino where the Prime was attending a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (Prime)|Armorhide]]. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at [[Moonbase One|Moon Base One]] and [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy "that semi-sentient pile of junk" but despite [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]'s research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored.

Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the [[Autobot]]s. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] Megatron and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], by probing into forgotten areas of the [[DataNet]], discovered Trypticon was a storage of [[Dark Energon]], the life essence of [[Unicron]]. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he "was smart enough to be afraid of it", and was granted access.

Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out — and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to [[Kaon]] Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]]. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists.

Megatron and [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb [[Dark Energon]], for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, he ordered Starscream to capture the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]], below the ruins of [[Crystal City]]. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still do not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the Code [[Key of Power]] and [[Key of Justice]] to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[High Council Tower]] in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the [[Hall of Justice]] and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by [[Blackout (Prime)|Blackout]]. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example.

As Megatron entered the Chamber, [[Teletraan-1]] activated the legendary [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered the Seekers to down Omega, which they successfully did, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the [[core]] of Cybertron. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]''. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a ''Nemesis''-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a [[space bridge]], which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

{{quote|Have no fear, Lord Megatron. Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!|Starscream being all modest.|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}

For the last thousand years of [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Starscream was in charge of an orbital production facility that produced [[Dark Energon]]. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]]'s repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard, and offered him to join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] to label him a traitor. Megatron sent him with [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reactivate the [[Energon Bridge]]. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty.

During the Battle of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon City]], Starscream and [[Brawl (Prime)|Brawl]] lead the Decepticons' main attack force, while Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] went behind enemy lines and tried to secure the [[Omega Key]]. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of "his ships". Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the "real" Omega Key, they ran into it: [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a dropship Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off of Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the [[Ion turret]]s, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as "kill on sight". Fortunately, Megatron managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary.

As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]], and attacked [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]]'s group in the [[Decagon]]. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's [[Energon-axe]] and forced to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

Starscream had been in control of Trypticon Space Station for years, until Megatron and his forces invaded. Megatron wished to revive the Dark Energon project to aid him in his conquest of Cybertron, but Starscream would have none of it. Megatron was able to fight his way to Starscream himself, and after a brief battle, Starscream had lost. He begged for mercy, and Megatrons spared Starscream in exchange for loyalty to the Decepticons. Starscream obliged and Megatron was taken to the core of the station.

After a test run of the Dark Energon's effects on Decepticons in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only destroy the host. A furious Megatron set Starscream to work on fixing the problem, with Starscream continuously bickering with Barricade over his usefullness. The problem was eventually solved in time for an attack on Iacon City. When Megatron felled Zeta Prime and found the Omega Key, the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme was unleashed upon the Decepticons, quickly crushing them with ease.

Megatron was downright furious with Starscream, declaring he had brought Omega Supreme's rampage upon them all. Starscream retorted that if it wasn't for Megatron and his blind troops, none of this would've happened. Starscream invited Megatron to kill him, but warned him it wouldn't do a thing about Omega Supreme out for their blood. Megatron for the moment let it go, and finally felled Omega Supreme, gaining total dominance over Cybertron.

Sometime later, Starscream ambushed an Autobot recruit-in-training, and would've killed him if it wasn't for Optimus charging to the rescue. He wasn't seen again after that.
