Places of interest within Iacon:

=== G1 Cartoon ===
[[Image:iacon.jpg|thumb|Home, sweet, home.]]
*'''Autobot Base''' - Iacon is depicted as a walled headquarters, reachable by an extendable bridge. Autobots needed to signal their approach before being allowed into Iacon. Lining the path to Iacon were a series of lamp-post like structures -- the basis for [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s Cybertron-based alt-form.
*The [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s launch bay

=== Marvel Comics ===

*Autobase (post-war)
*The Celestial Temple
*The Tower of Pion
*Imperial Amphitheater
*[[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]
*The [[Matrix Flame]] Chamber

=== Dreamwave Comics ===

*The Border Regions
*The Central Spaceport
*The High Council Pavillions
*The Grand Oratory
*The Chamber of the Ancients
*The Vaults
*The Decagon

*The Oracle Tank
*The Energon Pools
*Iacon East

*Virtue's Forum

===Cybertron===
*'''Cybertron Primus'''
:Iacon is one of two distiguishable cities molded into the surface of Primus' planet mode. It features many major landmarks as depicted in the Dreamwave comics and DK's Transformers ''Ultimate Guide'', such as the Stellar Galleries, the Decagon, the Chamber of the Ancients, and the Tower of Pion.

:The other city is the Decepticon fortress [[Kolkular]], which, similar to the depiction on the Cybertron map in the ''Ultimate Guide'', is placed on the opposite end of the toy from Iacon. ''The War Within'' comics also describe Iacon being built on the surface above buried planetary engines that could conceivably maneuver Cybertron through space; likewise, the toy places Iacon directly over Primus' shoulder cannon shafts. Both of these details, however, are likely a coincidence.

In an episode of Armada, Starscream stated that his spark was created at the Iacon Chamber. This could be a mistranslation.

Miranda II

2007-01-22T07:20:07Z

82.43.218.5:

:''The Miranda II is a joint [[Autobot]] and [[Earth Federation]] spaceship in the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.

[[Image:Miranda_II.jpg|right|thumb|350px|The show basically goes downhill as soon as this thing shows up.]]

The '''Miranda II''' was the starship commanded by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew during the ''Energon War'' and the ''Powerlinx Battles''. She was designed and built by [[Dr. Brian Jones]] in secret on the [[Earth]]'s [[Moon]].

Dr. Jones named the ship ''Miranda'' after his wife [[Miranda Jones]], thus according to naval tradition, establishing this ship as a ''Miranda'' Class.

{{-}}
==Fiction==
===Energon===

The ''Miranda II'' was rolled out of her secret drydock on the Moon so the Autobots could track down [[Unicron]], using homing beacons that [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] had placed on two [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb drones]]. [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] was able to trace Unicron's location, but to their surprise the beacon signals came from two different star systems.

The Autobots warp jumped to the Sol System's asteroid belt, attracting the attention of the [[Decepticons]], who did not wish for their secret base within Unicron to be revealed. So they launched an attack as the ''Miranda II'' was preparing a [[Space Bridge]] ring module to peform a second jump, forcing them to use the starship's portable [[Energon Grid]] generator.

[[Image:Miranda_II_dies.JPG|left|thumb|150px|Somehow this moment was the emotional crux of the series.]]

[[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was caught in the path of the approaching Energon Field wave, but was pushed out of the way in time by [[Demolishor]], who nobly sacrificed himself to save his leader. He exploded, to the horror of the Autobot onlookers who had served with him.

Then Ironhide ruined the scene by saying a nonsensical line. Doofus.
{{Storylink|Go For Unicron}}

The ''Miranda II'' would go on to serve the Autobots and humans ably throughout the ''Powerlinx Battles'', until her final mission against the Decepticons occupying [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] late in the war. Crippled by a powerful [[Energon Tower]] blast directed at them by [[Six Shot]], Optimus Prime ordered the Autobots to abandon ship. He and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] remained on board to try and find an area free of enemy forces so that [[Kicker]] and the [[Omnicon|Omnicons]] could disembark safely.

[[Image:MirandaII_hope.JPG|right|thumb|150px|Yes, our downed starship is an inspiration to us all.]]

After Kicker and his team jumped, Optimus Prime ordered the ''Miranda II's'' thrusters fired to hopefully bring the ship into orbit, and out of Decepticon range. But the ship was damaged beyond repair, and rapidly plummeted toward the surface. Optimus and Cliffjumper were rescued by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Superion Maximus]] as the ''Miranda II'' crashed into the ground.

Kicker took the fact that ''Miranda'' did not explode as a good sign, and she would be a symbol of hope to all the remaining Autobot forces fighting on Cybertron. {{Storylink|Galvatron (Energon episode)|Galvatron}}

==Known specifications==
[[Image:Miranda_II_shield.jpg|left|thumb|150px]]
The ''Miranda II'' features a smaller, portable version of Dr. Jones' Energon Towers as its primary defensive weapon. It is deployed from the bow of the ship, extending from the two forward hulls. The shield generated from the towers is powerful enough to destroy Terrorcon drones as well as older-model Decepticons, and also has sufficient power to absorb energy blasts from Unicron.

Other ships are able to board onto the Miranda II as does Rodimus' ship.

There is also a conference room which Optimus and Rodimus use.
