- The Van De Graaff is a starship from the Wings Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Van De Graaff is an Autobot cargo hauler, one apparently with a high enough level of security rating to be charged sometimes with carrying highly important and top-secret items over interstellar distances.
Fiction
[edit]Wings Universe
[edit]
The Van De Graaff was hauling a container with cargo that was potentially vitally important to the upcoming Autobot war effort, when it was shot down by unknown assailants while passing over Beta-Nine, and crashed with no survivors. The crew of the Eight Track was then dispatched by Autobot High Command to head to Beta-Nine themselves and retrieve the cargo container from the wreckage before the Decepticons could.
After the crew of the Eight Track crash-landed themselves, they and the Decepticons ended up in a race to the Van De Graaff. Kup reached it first and entered the wreckage. There he found that the crew was indeed all dead, but apparently it had been a firefight with strange, tentacled aliens that killed them, not the crash. Kup and his other teammates ended up being too busy with retrieving the cargo and keeping it safe from the Decepticons to investigate further. Wings of Honor
Notes
[edit]- The Van De Graaff is named after Robert J. Van de Graaff, the American physicist best known for his generator, though fictionally, "Wings of Honor" is set millions of years before the real Van de Graaff would be born.
