:''Galactic transports are a type of spaceship from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
'''Galactic transports''' were used by the [[Autobot]]s to evacuate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

==Games==
===''Transformers: War For Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3)===
After learning that the [[core]] was corrupted, and Cybertron could no longer sustain life, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] ordered the evacuation of Cybertron by all Autobots. Several galactic transports were seen taking off into space, but [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], in his cannon mode, began to destroy the fleeing vessels. Optimus ordered [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] and his [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]] squadrons to take the gun offline so that the ships could continue their journey. The Autobots kept the rest of their transports grounded until the threat was destroyed, an action that prompted Megatron. After Trypticon was thought defeated, the rest of the galactic transports safely took off from the planet. Optimus Prime then announced to the remaining Autobots that he had commissioned a new galactic transport for them, an ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', for their evacuation and journey through the stars. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3)===
Megatron blamed Optimus Prime for the shutdown of Cybertron, and launched a ruthless assault on the ruins of Iacon, with a main objective to destroy the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]. Powerful warp cannons were mounted onto the destroyed buildings of the city, and began firing on the Autobot vessel. However, Optimus was able to destroy the cannons with the help of the newly activated [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]], leaving the Ark unharmed but without a sufficient energon supply to fuel it. Later, Metroplex insisted that his own energon be utilized to launch the Ark to a space portal, reported by [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] to be the work of [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. However, Megatron pursued the Autobots in [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], who was now permanently offline and locked in his new alt-mode, the Nemesis. The portal was rapidly becoming unstable and sucked both ships into it. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

==Notes==
*In the Nintendo DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', the ships used to evacuate Cybertron were referred to as "arks".
*According to Megatron, galactic transports were originally designed as "cargo haulers."
