Talk:Ark (G1)

Feel free to steal any of this for your Ark profile. http://funaroverse.db-destiny.net/ARK/

It's a bit out of date. The Ark-like thign at the bottom I now know to be an Autobot shuttle from here: [1]

Also, I might have Blaze's art up, not Sizzle's. (They got swapped on their packaging you see...)

The Asteroid association piece is probably uour best source for the look of the Ark in comics continuity.

Bear with me for a moment. This is all conjecture, and should be marked as such if it is put in the article, but it's become a bit of a fixed idea with me. All throughout the Ultimate Guide, the Ark is referred to as "the Ark", while other ships such as Nemesis are referred to in italics, minus the definite article. Coupled with the fact that the Ark is specifically the first of its line, and yet the line is called the Vanguard-class strongly implies, to me, that the Ark's actual NAME is Vanguard, and it is simply referred to familiarly as "the Ark" because, well, it ended up being an ark. -LV 02:02, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

That's quite possible. Any other interpetation woudl reauire the ship being built in TWW (though not used for many millions of year) the Vandard, NOT the Ark. That's possible, ti was never named, but awkward.

Alternately, it's possible the Vangard was re-christened at some point after a refit, or for the astertoid mission.

The UK comic called it the last of the great Arks, possibly the Vandarrd class simply became known as 'Arks,' witht heir crew-of-thousands capacity as theyw ere used one-by-one to found colonies? (As seen in Desertion of the Dinobots.) Since the Arks was the LAST Ark on Cybertron it became,w ell... 'The Ark.' ...which was basicly your suggestion, wasn't it? -Derik 02:12, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
