The Ark is the Autobot spacecraft that was used by Optimus Prime and his crew to search the universe for the Allspark. It was gigantic and generally "spheroid" in design. In the Earth-year 1969 it had a run-in with the lost human ship Ghost 1 and the Decepticon starship Nemesis.

The Ark was mainly a transport rather than a warship, though it did possess a few powerful cannons and very strong defensive sheilds. These were recently enhanced to be even more formitable by Ratchet, who usually acts as the ship's pilot.

Trivia

• The Ark was of course named for the original Autobot starship from the Generation 1 continuity family.

• The existence of the Ark and Nemesis in the Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday is somewhat counter to statements made by the film's screenplay writers who developed the idea of cometary protoform travel specifically because they felt Transformers would not need spaceships to get around the Universe.
