Lost Cybertronian Storage Asteroid

The Lost Autobot Records is a place in the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Lost Autobot Records, also known as the Storage asteroid and as the Lost Cybertronian Storage asteroid, is a facility where the Autobots placed the collective sum of their knowledge and history. It was created before the Great War with the intention of preserving the Autobots knowledge should they be destroyed in the conflict with the Decepticons. A special homing beacon is placed in the asteroid where the Records were located but it malfunctioned leading to the storage asteroid becoming lost to the ages.

The facility is protected by numerous Sentry droids. Whilst it might appear as nothing more as a floating asteroid, it did possess thrusters allowing for it to be piloted.

Generation 1 cartoon

Daniel Witwicky learnt of the storage asteroid and the Lost Autobot Records from the Library droid at the Hall of Records. He and Wheelie stole a shuttle in order to find the storage asteroid so that they could find the date Ultra Magnus was created. This was because they wanted to plan a surprise party for him. Whilst there, they were attacked by snake-like lifeforms and the Sentry droids.

Cyclonus and the Sweeps followed the two to the facility and learnt of its purpose. They later sent the asteroid on a collision course with the planet Cybertron with Daniel and Wheelie still inside in the hopes of devastating a Peace Conference held on the Transformer home world. But like all Decepticon plans... it didn't end well. Surprise Party
