Fiction

War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon

Hired by the Quintesson Deseeus, Doubledealer and his crew used the Fool's Fortune to reach the adrift Ark, Earthrise episode 1 that Teletraan I identified as an unknown vessel. Siege episode 6 After taking control of the Ark, Doubledealer had subordinates Thrust and Dirge pilot the Fool's Fortune to Chaar and rendezvous with the rest of the Mercenaries in the Ark. There, the Fool's Fortune was left outside as the Mercenaries took their captives to Deseeus. Earthrise episode 2

Afterwards, the Fool's Fortune fell under the control of a Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer. It pursued the Autobots aboard the Ark out of the Dead Universe before arriving above Earth, where it also faced the Decepticons' Nemesis. The Fortune fired upon both factions, receiving damage from counterattacks. Exhaust and Bug Bite went to patch up the ship's holes, but were both killed by the stowaway Autobot Cog, who soon took control of the bridge after Deseeus fled. Still under heavy fire, the Fool's Fortune exploded, in turn causing both the Ark and the Nemesis to crash down to Earth. Debris from the Fool's Fortune rained upon the planet's surface.

Notes

• The Fool's Fortune was first mentioned as one of five types of "hidden" labeled paths on the Earthrise toyline's collectible space map. The key to read those path labels is shown on the map fragment packaged with the Titan Class Scorponok figure. The other types of paths labeled in the legend are "Space bridge", "Ark", "Nemesis", and "Quintesson". Interestingly, the Fool's Fortune is the only path with a departure point outside the map. The nature of the Fool's Fortune was not clear until it appeared in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon.
• The Fool's Fortune route appears to travel to, through, or near many locations, including the Caminus and Biosphera, and starts to parallel to the Ark upon an intersection. The same exact path is taken in the War for Cybertron Trilogy show when the Fool's Fortune finds the Ark and follows it for the rest of the Earthrise chapter.
• The Fool's Fortune is only referred to as the Fortune in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon.
