Abraham Lincoln
| "Lincoln" redirects here. For the Armada city, see Lincoln (city). |
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He had the personality of an Optimus Prime.<ref>Optimus Prime's original Marvel Universe-style profile claims that he has "the personality of an Abraham Lincoln."</ref> After his death, he was immortalized in limestone and marble with the (conveniently Decepticon-sized) [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Lincoln Memorial|{{#if:||Lincoln Memorial}}]] in Washington, D.C., and on the face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
He is the namesake of the USS Abraham Lincoln and (probably) the city of Lincoln.

[edit]In the Terminator's original timeline, the Decepticons were the only Transformers on The Ark to be revived in 1984. Without the Autobots to oppose them, Megatron led the Decepticons in the conquest of Earth, where Mount Rushmore was an early casualty in conflict. Eventually, the human race was wiped out with only the Skywatch supercomputer network Skynet and its Terminator robots left to fight a losing war. Ultimately Skynet's forces would feign surrender to the Cybertronians, sending a lone T-800 unit to the Lincoln Memorial to kneel before Megatron, who had turned the monument into his personal throne.
