G.H.O.S.T.
| This article is about the human-Autobot alliance. For the supernatural entities, see Ghost. |
- G.H.O.S.T. is a Human-Autobot alliance from the EarthSpark continuity family.
G.H.O.S.T. (Global Hazard and Ordinance Strike Team) is an underground government organization based in Witwicky, Pennsylvania. They are focused on rebuilding human-Autobot relations, capturing rogue Decepticons, and finding ways that Cybertronians can help Earth's communities.
Their relationship with the Autobots is...tense, to say the least. Their ethically dubious policy towards the Decepticons, including restraints and long-term incarceration, combined with an eccentric and extreme staff, means that neither G.H.O.S.T. nor the Autobots fully trust each other. Even the bot who should be their greatest ally, Optimus Prime, keeps more than a few secrets from them.
One of their favorite pastimes seems to be cheesy slogans.
Significant human and Autobot members include:
- Executive Agent Croft
- Special Agent Jon Schloder
- Dr. Meridian (former)
- Optimus Prime
- Elita-1
- Megatron
- Arcee
Fiction
EarthSpark cartoon
Thirty years prior to the Terrans' emergence, G.H.O.S.T. and the Autobots joined forces, with Megatron joining 15 years later. Age of Evolution, Part 1 During the Autobot-Decepticon war, Dr. Meridian was drafted by G.H.O.S.T. to serve as a roboticist, leading to the loss of his arm when Autobot friendly fire struck his lab during the Battle of the Bay. Age of Evolution, Part 1
In the present day, G.H.O.S.T. created Dot Malto's job as a park ranger to move her closer to their headquarters in Witwicky. Secret Legacy, Part 1 Elita-1 and Optimus Prime lured Swindle and Hardtop into a trap with the anonymous tip of G.H.O.S.T. having an unguarded shipping container of energon, managing to apprehend Hardtop. A G.H.O.S.T. convoy transporting Hardtop was attacked by Arachnamechs, allowing Meridian to steal the prisoner Decepticon, and catching Robby and Mo Malto in the crossfire. Secret Legacy, Part 1 When Meridian kidnapped Twitch and Thrash under the guise of a G.H.O.S.T. transport vehicle, agents on the scene had no records of the truck or driver. Secret Legacy, Part 2
Swindle attacked a G.H.O.S.T. vehicle being driven by Agent Bala, hoping to steal the energon scanner inside, but was stopped by the forcefields. Later, Dot was called to close down the area, putting out a fire started by Swindle to distract them. Swindle later tried and failed to get Mo and Thrash to steal the scanner from the G.H.O.S.T. truck. House Rules
When Robby and Twitch went out for a night walk, Agent Schloder and a group of G.H.O.S.T. cadets mistook Twitch for a child-stealing Decepticon.
An elevator down to G.H.O.S.T. headquarters was installed in Dot's park ranger office; Agent Schloder used it to enter the office and get Dot's help in tracking down the Decepticon. Later, Dot went through G.H.O.S.T. orientation led by Optimus Prime. After orientation, Dot and Optimus went to go get her kids and the two saved them from G.H.O.S.T. cadets that had cornered them into a training room. To prevent Schloder from finding them, Optimus decided to sneak the family out of a secret entrance, through a prison holding Decepticons. Classified
Following his capture, Soundwave was placed in G.H.O.S.T.'s holding facility, but he managed to release Ravage into the facility, observed by the also-imprisoned Starscream. Decoy
G.H.O.S.T. held a G.H.O.S.T.-Autobot Alliance ceremony that was promptly crashed by Skywarp and Nova Storm, attempting to steal Optimus Prime's left arm under orders from Meridian, now known as Mandroid. Age of Evolution, Part 1
