<br />
'''Mark Twain''' was the pen name of '''Samuel Clemens''', a satirist known for his wit and his travelings. He wrote ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'', which many consider to be ''the'' Great [[United States of America|American]] Novel, and ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer''. <br />
<br />
Around [[1867]], he fought (and bested) [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].<br />

===''Hearts of Steel''===<br />
While living in [[San Francisco]], Mark Twain befriended other writers of his day, such as [[Jules Verne]]. At great expense, Mark Twain hired a ferry to take him and Verne out into the middle of San Francisco Bay to witness [[Tobias Muldoon]]'s new invention, a "sub-marine". However, a technical mishap plunged the sub-marine to the bottom of the bay, a misfortune that brought laughter from Twain, Verne, and the ferry's skipper. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 1|Hearts of Steel #1}}<br />

<br />
While at the estate of Muldoon's investor, [[Stanford Merriweather]], Muldoon suddenly returned, pursued by the [[Decepticon]] [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]. Due to Muldoon's bravery, he was able to shepherd everyone out of the house. Twain, in the meantime, had intentionally left a gas leak. Tossing his [[cigar]] into the house, he caused it to explode, sending a singed Ravage off into the distance. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 3|Hearts of Steel #3}}<br />

Ultimately, Mark Twain teamed up with Muldoon, Merriweather and his daughter [[Kitty Merriweather|Kitty]], steel-drivin' man [[John Henry]], and the [[Autobot]]s to defeat the Decepticons and their impressive locomotive engineering feat, the [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 4|Hearts of Steel #4}}<br />
