Amory

Amory is a sentient starship from the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

All I ask is a tall ship and a star for her to steer me by.

Amory used to be an interceptor/destroyer in Shi-Lai's "suicide legions", until she and her binary-bonded pilot Phyrion made off with a hold full of death-bolters and convection grenades. Since then, they've been having exciting adventures involving things like running into revengeful Decepticons and making life difficult for intrepid detectives.

Timelines

While on the planet Azure, Amory hires some thugs to bring Nightbeat (who is stranded on the planet) to her so she can in turn hire him to help her find her pilot Phyrion, who has gone missing. She then flies him and his crew to Purgatory, the planet her pilot was last seen on, and provides them with information on the pilot's last known appearance.

When Nightbeat's crew's questioning fails to turn up any leads, she volunteers information about an encrypted transmission that had passed through her hull to Phyrion's quarters. That in turn sends Nightbeat's crew to an abandoned warehouse, where they are ambushed by the Mayhem Attack Squad. Amory then shows up as well, bringing her weapons to bear on Nightbeat's crew, and revealing that the Decepticons had kidnapped her pilot to force her to help set Nightbeat up.

Then Ruckus brilliantly reveals that he had brought Phyrion along by holding him up, and Slag frees the pilot by chopping off Ruckus' arm. Once Phyrion is out of harm's way, Amory quickly turns her weapons on the Decepticons instead, convincing them to give up and leave since they've lost the advantage.

Afterwards, Amory pays Nightbeat the agreed-upon fee for the case anyway, out of gratitude, as well as springing for him to get a new head to replace the one that got damaged in the fight. She and Phyrion then fly off again to parts unknown. Cheap Shots
