Shana O'Hara, aka '''Scarlett''', a crossbow-toting southern belle with a history in martial arts, is a prominent member of the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team. She has a thing for [[Snake-Eyes]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====''G.I. Joe Meet the Transformers''====
[[Image:Scarlettmarvel.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Not the safest place to keep a grappling hook.]]
Scarlett and several other Joes were overseeing a test of [[Power Station Alpha]], which was interrupted by the appearance of a giant transforming robot. After [[Bumblebee (G1)|the Transformer]] was destroyed, it was followed by a much larger robot which called itself [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} G.I. Joe's forces were overwhelmed by Superion, so Scarlett called for backup. {{storylink|Power Struggle}}

The Transformer they destroyed was eventually determined to be their friend! Scarlett stood nearby while [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)|Mainframe]] attempted to rebuild him. {{storylink|Ashes, Ashes...}} As the [[Autobot]] [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] arrived to help, it was announced that [[Cobra]] would be teaming up with G.I. Joe and the Autobots against the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] to keep them from destroying the world with Power Station Alpha. The newly rebuilt Transformer, now named [[Goldbug (G1)|Goldbug]], escorted Scarlett and the [[Baroness]] to Power Station Alpha with the intention of placing detonators inside. Without G.I. Joe's consent, Baroness set the timers prematurely, much to Scarlett's frustration. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

One of [[Action Force (team)|Action Force's]] American operatives [http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comics/maf/001/013.html], Scarlett's spent several missions with the European group. She was part of the team that went under [[London]] to locate the monster that had killed [[Susan Hoffman]]'s team. Scarlett openly thought this was a waste of their time and Susan was talking crap, until the Transformers turned up and the monster was revealed to be the monstrous [[Straxus (G1)|(copy of) Megatron]]!

In the battle itself, Scarlett mostly stood on the sidelines, at one point trying to get [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] to ''not'' send in the Mauler tanks to get stepped on. {{storylink|Ancient Relics!}}

====''Generation 2''====
[[Image:Scarlettg2.jpg|left|100px|thumb|"...Got to stop pretending this is a ninja outfit..."]]
While Scarlett was pretending to have defected to [[Cobra]], Snake-Eyes was forced to stab her to convince the terrorist organization of her new allegiance. {{storylink|Unfoldings!}} While none of her vitals were damaged, she was nevertheless hospitalized at the Cobra's castle fortress, where Cobra scientist [[Sidney Biggles-Jones|Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones]] confronted her about her true intentions. {{storylink|Goin' South}}

Just as Dr. Biggles-Jones had revealed that she too was a double agent, the newly rebuilt-by-Cobra [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] snatched her away, wishing to experiment on the scientist's brain. Scarlett, despite her wounds, fought her way out of the Cobra compound and confronted Megatron. {{storylink|Sucker Punch}} Her audacious ultimatum was cut short when a small group of Autobots sent by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] ([[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], [[Chase (G1)|Chase]], [[Override (G1)|Override]] and [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]]) arrived to attack Megatron. While the large-scale battle raged, Scarlett used the opportunity to attack [[Cobra Commander]]. A save by Snake-Eyes reunited the pair. {{storylink|Final Transformations}}

With all of the Autobots destroyed (minus [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]]), Megatron stole the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] with Dr. Biggles-Jones still in tow. {{storylink|Final Transformations}} It was Skydive and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] who managed to sneak aboard and bring the doctor home, though at the expense of Witwicky's life. Returned to safety, Dr. Biggles-Jones greeted Scarlett with a much-needed hug.{{storylink|All or Nothing!}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
When [[Cobra]] unearthed and reprogrammed the dormant Transformers aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and used them to take over the world, Scarlett was among the first members of G.I. Joe, the anti-terrorist force created to stop them. After hearing from [[Doc]] how [[Snake-Eyes]] had lost his voice, face and family in Cobra's initial attack, Scarlett wondered how the ninja could go on after suffering through so much in one day. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2}} Her first duty as part of G.I. Joe was to guard the [[SPS Center]] from an attack by Cobra's commandeered Transformers. The attack came, overwhelming and surrounding Scarlett's group until they were rescued by the free agents [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}} Scarlett was later part of the forces preparing for G.I. Joe's final raid on [[Cobra Island]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}} Despite some opposition from the US government, who would rather nuke the island, the Joes left to battle Cobra in person. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}} As part of [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)|Mainframe]]'s team, she defended the [[SPS Satellite]]'s controls from [[Storm Shadow]] and [[Firefly]], taking out the latter with a kick to the head. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 6|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6}}

Two years later, Scarlett was part of a G.I. Joe assault team attempting to stop an international arms ring affiliated with the [[Dreadnok]]s from selling Cybertronian technology on the black market. Together with [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]] and [[Beachhead]], she attacked the Dreadnoks in [[Boston]] and easily took out [[Ripper]], [[Torch (Dreadnok)|Torch]] and [[Buzzer]] despite their new cybernetic attack limbs. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 1|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1}} She later ended up on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] alongside several other Joes and Cobra members. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2}}

When the [[Autobot]]s and G.I. Joe made an agreement to decommission all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Scarlett wanted to take [[G.I. Joe battle mech|her giant battle mech]] out for one last spin, and offered Snake-Eyes a round of robo-tag. The game never came to pass, as [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]] was attacked by Cobra and Scarlett had to help fight off their [[Battle Android Trooper]]s. They were aided by a team of Autobots, and Scarlett was surprised to see a [[Arcee (G1)|female robot]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} She left her mech after the team found [[Cobra Commander]] lurking around inside Area 52, but this proved to be a mistake when [[Serpent O.R.]] attacked them. Scarlett was believed to have died when the android brought the roof crashing down on everyone, but she soon reappeared and chastised her friends for thinking she'd die so easily. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

After learning that Serpent O.R. had taken a warpgate to Cybertron, Scarlett and the other followed him. After a brief run-in with [[cannibalizer]]s, they found Serpent O.R., who promptly captured them with help from his new Decepticon friends. While imprisoned in the Decepticon base, she had a romantic moment with Snake-Eyes, making out with him even after seeing his horribly scarred face. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} They later managed to escape when Snake-Eyes hypnotized a [[Breakdown (G1)|guard]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} After freeing the Autobots, the Joes fought their way through the base and into Serpent O.R.'s control room, where [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was being held. Upon arriving, they found Serpent O.R. under control of Cobra Commander, and Scarlett was quickly knocked out by his robotic tentacles. After the commander was defeated by [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]], Scarlett met with Snake-Eyes, who offered to continue their game of tag without mechs. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

A few months later, Scarlett was part of a team of Joes sent to [[Tibet]] to aid Hawk, [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] and Optimus Prime in the fight against [[Cobra-La]]. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2|Black Horizon, Part 2}}

===''Transformers vs G.I. Joe''===
In 1939, Scarlett and [[Lady Jaye]] were part of a team of intelligence agents sent to continental [[Europe]] to investigate [[Cobra]]'s ongoing conquest. They were the only members of the team to return to America alive, where they helped found [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]. She spent some time checking out [[Snake-Eyes]] before the Joes were all sent to assault Cobra's base on the [[Fera Islands]]. {{storylink|The Line}} As part of Strike Force One, Scarlett stumbled upon the dormant [[Autobot]]s, who were promptly reactivated. When [[Leatherneck]] opened fire on [[Ironhide (G1)|one of them]], Scarlett was almost hit by ricocheting bullets, but was saved by the Autobot. {{storylink|Transformed}}

The Autobots agreed to help G.I. Joe with their mission, allowing them to get rid of Cobra's [[Decepticon]] [[Seeker (body-type)|air forces]]. Scarlett was distraught to learn that Snake-Eyes had gone missing in the early stages of the battle, but [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] tried to comfort her. {{storylink|Trial by Fire (issue)|Tiral by Fire}} When the Autobots were stopped in their tracks by [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]'s earthquakes, Scarlett commandeered Bumblebee's motorcycle form, noting how "sweet" it was that he had "never been driven before". Using Bumblebee, Scarlett jumped above Rumble and dropped a grenade in his face, destroying him. An impressed Bumblebee told her she could drive him any time she wanted to. {{storylink|Wolves}}

As the Joes approached the [[Terrordrome]], Scarlett started thinking about Snake-Eyes again, only to find that he had returned, with his face horribly scarred. She asked the ninja what had happened, but he merely left again, not wanting Scarlett to see his injuries. {{storylink|Trenches}} In spite of this, the two ended up infiltrating the Terrordrome together. As the duo searched for the enemy's [[Shockwave (G1)|rail gun]], they ended up staring right in the face of the gigantic [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. After locating and arresting [[Destro]] and the [[Baroness]] for crimes against humanity, Scarlett learned that the Autobots had sacrificed themselves in order to destroy Bruticus. Embracing Snake-Eyes, she reflected on [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] saying that there's a fine line between being a hero and being a memory.

A long time later, in 1985, the latest incarnation of G.I. Joe discovered [[Blaster (G1)|two]] [[Perceptor (G1)|new]] Autobots. Along with Duke and [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], a retired Scarlett figured it was time to tell the new guys about their adventure with the Transformers. {{storylink|Targets of Opportunity}}

==Notes==
* Her ''Action Force'' toy gives her birthplace as Belgium [http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/toys/003/af/031/index.html], though this wasn't canon in Marvel's ''Action Force'' comic due to its reprinting the ''G.I. Joe'' comic where she's American. Then, a few years later, the ''unrelated'' US group G.I. Joe merged with Action Force. Feel free to feel confused.

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig2|the Robots in Disguise computer system|the Binaltech Asterisk policewoman|Ai Kuruma}}
:''T-AI is an [[Autobot]] computer from the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:T-AI-colorsheet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I, am, your sing-ing tele-gram! *BANG!*]]
'''T-AI''' (pronounced "tie", short for '''Tactical Artificial Intelligence''') is the Autobots' main computer system. She keeps tabs on events across Earth, coordinates Autobot forces across the globe, maintains the elaborate [[Global Space Bridge]] network, and generally keeps things running smoothly at the base... or as smoothly as possible considering the variety of odd personalities that make up the Autobot ranks. She is an incredibly advanced computer that displays distinct emotions, self-awareness, a sense of humor, and—perhaps most notably—the ability to lose her patience. She is quick to berate verbally any Autobot found [[Side Burn (RID)|slacking off or doing something dumb]].

T-AI manifests herself with a holographic avatar, taking the form of a young [[human]] girl in a maroon uniform similar to a Japanese policewoman's. It's possible she chose this form to better acclimate the Autobots to dealing with humans, as well as to help their human ally [[Koji Onishi|Koji]] better deal with being surrounded by giant alien robots.

She is reportedly the "daughter" of [[Teletraan I (RID)|Teletraan I]].<ref>"I'm T-AI, Tactical Artifical Intelligence system. Daughter of the Teletraan I computer program." {{storylink|An Explosive Situation}}</ref>

:''Japanese name:'' '''Ai-chan''' (アイちゃん)

===''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Sandy Fox]] (English), [[Chieko Higuchi]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Battle Protocol Tai.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Wait till you hear this, ha ha! I just saw Megatron! He kidnapped your father, ha ha! We're in a lot of trouble!]]
T-AI's first major action on Earth was to initiate [[Battle Protocol]] and send the [[Autobot Brothers]] to [[New York City]]. {{storylink|Battle Protocol!}} A short time later, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] brought [[Koji Onishi]] to visit the base—Koji's [[Kenneth Onishi|father]] had been kidnapped by [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]. On being introduced to T-AI, Koji attempted to shake hands with her and fell through the holographic projection. The boy stuck around with T-AI to monitor the currently-developing situation—the Predacons were trying to steal an explosive device from a car. {{storylink|An Explosive Situation}}

[[Image:Hunt for Black Pyramid Taipoint.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Prepare to fast-forward!]]
T-AI would continue to monitor odd goings-on, such as a series of suspicious train wrecks which turned out to have been caused by the Predacons. {{storylink|Bullet Train to the Rescue}} The only Autobot she tended to have problems with was [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], a notorious slacker who would often be out chasing red sports cars rather than go to the assignments given to him. On one occasion Side Burn turned out to be actually doing something useful—exploring some ruins with Koji. As a result of this adventure, a computer microchip owned by Doctor Onishi was discovered, and T-AI set about extracting information from it. {{storylink|The Secret of the Ruins}}

It wasn't unusual for Side Burn to cut off contact altogether, which is probably why T-AI didn't immediately panic when he was captured by the Predacons. Once [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] and [[X-Brawn]] alerted her to the situation, T-AI dispatched the [[Spy Changer]]s to assist in rescuing both Side Burn and Optimus. {{storylink|Sideburn's Obsession}} On another occasion one of the Spy Changers, [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]] appeared to have left the Autobot ranks but in reality had pretended to defect and had located Megatron's "[[Mega-Laser Cannon]]". T-AI was able to extend the [[Global Space Bridge]], allowing the Spy Changers to use the sphere formation to destroy the laser. {{storylink|Mirage's Betrayal}}

When new Autobot arrival [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]] went missing, T-AI was able to download his scanner log and determine that, as suspected, the Autobot had become contaminated with [[Auggie Cahnay (RID)|Auggie Cahnay]]'s psychotropic energy, giving him the urge to compete in races. She warned the other Autobots that they needed to get Skid-Z back to headquarters for decontamination or he would burn out his circuits. {{storylink|Skid Z's Choice}} [[Tow-Line (RID)|Tow-Line]]'s introduction didn't go much better. Shortly after his arrival, T-AI lost contact with Side Burn, X-Brawn and [[Rapid Run (RID)|Rapid Run]]—Tow-Line had gone renegade and abducted the trio. She coordinated with Optimus and Prowl to track down the rogue Autobot. {{storylink|Tow-Line Goes Haywire}}

[[Image:Tai-projector.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Snotty beamed me twice last night. It was wonderful.]]
Puzzled by the Predacons' interest in statues, T-AI dispatched the Autobot Brothers to the [[Cave of the Dragon]], which Koji had a hunch was involved. There Side Burn encountered a giant moving statue, which T-AI was able to reveal was a special effect created by a film crew working there. As it turned out the cave had another secret, the first of seven Cybertronian artefacts called [[O-Part]]s. {{storylink|The Ultimate Robot Warrior}} Shortly after the discovery, T-AI called all of the Autobots back to base to review footage of their past missions and attempt to work out where the Predacon base was hidden. {{storylink|Hope for the Future}}

T-AI was able to unlock more information from Dr Onishi's microchip, pointing the Autobots to [[Castle Peak]], where they discovered the wreck of an Autobot spacecraft. After Megatron stole the six protoforms from inside it, T-AI was able to track him to McKinley Army Base and alert Optimus, though ultimately Megatron was able to reformat the protoforms into Decepticons. {{storylink|The Decepticons}}

After the destruction of a dam by the Decepticons, T-AI sent the Autobot Brothers to patrol [[Sherman Dam]] and soon lost contact with them. Once Optimus arrived at the dam, T-AI alerted him to the fact that the Decepticons had mined it with [[pulsar bomb]]s. Fortunately disaster was averted once again with the help of [[Team Bullet Train]]. {{storylink|Commandos}}

[[Image:Attack from Outer Space Tai.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Movor's gone to plaid!]]
T-AI continued to monitor Predacon activity, dispatching Optimus and the Spy Changers to [[Montrose Island]] where the Predacons were causing trouble. {{storylink|Volcano}} After a shuttle was launched by the [[human]]s, she attempted to access the signal from it and, to her puzzlement, received images of [[X-Brawn]] from the data stream. It wasn't long before the space agency revealed that the shuttle which was launched had been a fake—the Decepticon [[Movor]]. As the Decepticons were tracking Side Burn, T-AI contacted him and X-Brawn was able to send his brother to a location where the Decepticons could be ambushed. {{storylink|Attack from Outer Space}}

Side Burn, of course, continued to cause trouble and T-AI caught him using the computer to do online fish tests. Opining that it didn't make sense, as Side Burn was a sports car, not a fish, she nagged him about going out on patrol. Eventually he did, but he and the other two brothers ended up going to the wrong locations anyway. {{storylink|The Fish Test}}

When [[Build Team]] requested that they be allowed to go on a mission, they insisted that T-AI use the member select program just to make it all official. And then bickered amongst themselves until T-AI told them to knock it off and get moving. {{storylink|Wedge's Short Fuse}} Some time later, strange glitches began occurring in the Global Space Bridge, with Autobots failing to arrive at the destinations T-AI had programmed, and she soon discovered that someone had been tampering with the computer link. Build Team was dispatched to fix the problem, and T-AI also detected that Megatron was attacking the north energy research facility, so the next destination was set. {{storylink|Landfill (episode)|Landfill}}

When the Predacons attacked the new [[CGA Tower]] and took the people inside hostage, [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] demanded something from Optimus. Something he wasn't terribly clear on. T-AI suggested Sky-Byte might mean the O-Parts, which probably wasn't the most clever thing considering he didn't seem to know about them. {{storylink|Sky-Byte Saves the Day}}

After an attempted energy theft, the Decepticons began attacking construction sites and fleeing every time T-AI sent the Autobots to stop them. Eventually the Build Team found out, and T-AI detected [[Landfill (RID)|Landfill]] fighting Ruination. She sent the Autobot Brothers to help, but Build Team had sabotaged the Global Space Bridge, and they ended up in the middle of nowhere. {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}

[[Image:Forced Fusion Tai Koji.jpg|left|200px|thumb|It's not just a truck wreck...it's a Transformer!]]
T-AI intercepted a transmission indicating that Sky-Byte was searching for O-Parts. She and Optimus suspected it was a trap, so they sent the Autobot Brothers in. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} With Optimus under attack from Decepticons on an island, T-AI monitored the situation with Koji, and was amazed when Optimus merged with the newly arrived Autobot [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]] into [[Omega Prime]]. She reported reading a massive amount of energy. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

While out looking for Ultra Magnus, the Autobot Brothers failed to check in and T-AI was unable to contact them. She sent Team Bullet Train to look for the brothers and coordinated the search from base. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Puzzling over the way the three Autobot Brothers managed to power up during the fight against the Decepticons, T-AI theorised that the power came from the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], somehow channelled through Ultra Magnus. She contacted Side Burn and Prowl to search for Magnus, and sent X-Brawn in as backup when the two brothers found themselves fighting the Decepticons. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

[[Image:Fortress Maximus Koji Tai.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Skidplates! I'm surrounded by skidplates!]]
T-AI was able to extract more information from Doctor Onishi's microchip, pointing to a dig which the doctor was working on before he was kidnapped. The Build Team were dispatched, and when the Decepticons were sighted in the area, T-AI sent the Spy Changers, Autobot Brothers and Team Bullet Train for protection. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} She reassured Koji that his father must still be alive as the Predacons were still extracting information from him. She was proved right a few hours later when Sky-Byte inadvertently set Doctor Onishi free. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}}

With the release of Doctor Onishi, T-AI worked with him to create a detector to locate the rest of the O-Parts. The Autobot Brothers and Build Team managed to locate and retrieve the five remaining O-Parts and, back at base, T-AI wondered whether finding them was a blessing or a curse. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} T-AI was able to detect a data stream coming from the activated O-Parts and, despite Optimus' concerns, merged with them to get more information. Although she was able to find out the location of the [[Orb of Sigma]], she became trapped in the globe created by the O-Parts.

Optimus and the brothers took the O-Parts globe to the Sahara Desert where, in a pyramid beneath the desert sands, they found the Orb of Sigma. The O-Parts globe merged with it, cutting off their communication with T-AI completely. The Autobots managed to keep the Orb away from the Decepticons and return it to Autobot base, where T-AI was successfully extracted. She reported that she had gained from the Orb the knowledge of where to find [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], the key to [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Peril from the Past}}

[[Image:Maximus Emerges Tai.jpg|left|200px|thumb|It's very fascinating. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to hurt you.]]
The Autobot Brothers and Build Team attempted to retrieve Cerebros, but the 'bot was snatched from their grasp by the Decepticons. T-AI was very annoyed and chewed out X-Brawn over it. She sent the Autobot Brothers to guard Fortress Maximus' hiding place, getting Tow-Line to tow Side Burn there to prevent him from being "distracted". The Decepticons managed to use Cerebros to activate Maximus and T-AI monitored the battle from base with Koji. The young boy was subsequently able to help by commanding the giant robot to stop. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

T-AI and Doctor Onishi worked on the puzzle of why Maximus obeyed Koji's command, but were unable to draw a firm conclusion. When [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] again attempted to control Maximus out in the desert, Doctor Onishi realised that Maximus would only control humans, and T-AI had Team Bullet Train and the Build Team take a thousand children to the battlefield. {{storylink|The Human Element}} She continued to scan for Fortress Maximus' location, but was hampered by the Autobot's shielding. Finally, after Koji's friend [[Karl]] was kidnapped by the Predacons, she was able to locate the titan in a forest. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}}

[[Image:Final Battle Tai.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Go past this part. In fact, never play this scene again.]]
Finally the Decepticons located the Autobot base and began to attack. T-AI alerted all of the Autobots to go to designated co-ordinates so that Optimus could lead the Decepticons into a trap. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} She monitored the battle from base, contacting Omega Prime when Galvatron used his [[Cyber-bat|cyber-bats]] to seize control of the Earth's children. She activated the Global Space Bridge so the Autobots could retreat, but was too late to warn them when Galvatron ruptured the tunnel wall to flood it with molten rock. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} At Omega Prime's command, she opened space bridge portals to the Earth's core and sealed them after he had led Galvatron through for a last confrontation. Fortunately Koji was able to mobilise Earth's children via the Internet and send a massive amount of power to Prime, enabling him to win the fight, though T-AI told him that Prime was still trapped.

Fortunately the energy from Galvatron's defeat had reopened the Global Space Bridge, allowing Omega Prime to escape the Earth's core. The Autobots began enjoying a look around, though T-AI had to tell Skid-Z to slow down. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

===Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?===
[[Image:T-AI Dreamwavesummerspecial.jpg|left|180px|thumb|My hair! What happened to my hair?!]]
When [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] and [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] attempted to steal an experimental nuclear generator from a plant in Arizona, T-AI tried to find any Autobots who were available to respond to the situation. Ultimately, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] was the only one not currently occupied by some other emergency. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}

* '''Ai-chan''' (KT Figure Collection, 2004)

[[Image:AI PVC.jpg|right|200px|thumb|What the hell in the name of God is THIS?!!]]
: This figurine was produced by [[KT Figure Collection]], and included in a set of four others. It is notable in that not only is this the only non-[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] PVC in the entire set, but Ai-chan is portrayed bathing in a hot spring, and is thus completely nude, aside from her hat. A [[super deformed]] [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Super Fire Convoy]] is seen peeking over the side, and a miniature [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Gelshark]] bath toy is in Ai-chan's hands.

: Yes, it's creepy. And you may find her face is familiar, BECAUSE the figure is designed by [[Yūki Ōshima]], who did the [[Kiss Players (franchise)|creepiest thing]] in the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] ever.

==Notes==
* Whenever T-AI makes radio contact with any off-base Autobots, she initiates it by pressing a sequence of buttons on a keypad. Considering that these elements are all a part of the same computer, T-AI is in fact projecting and controlling the holographic representation of herself and making it use the keypad that controls T-AI, herself. She is effectively telling herself to tell herself what to do. If you also factor in the fact that the hologram is totally incorporeal, and therefore cannot actually make contact with the keypad, then the assorted beeps and lights that seemingly indicate when the buttons are being pressed are actually being controlled from within T-AI like a [[wikipedia:player_piano|player piano]], and therefore don't need to be pressed even if the hologram ''could'' press them. This gives me a headache.

* In the ''Car Robots'' continuity, Ai-chan is a "Spherical Computer", akin to [[Vector Sigma]] of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]], and [[NAVI]] of ''[[Beast Wars II (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]''.

* T-AI is clearly the inspiration for the [[Ai Kuruma]] character in the ''[[Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line.
