Abraham Lincoln

"I need a night at the theatre like I need a hole in the head."

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He had the personality of an Optimus Prime. After his death, he was immortalized in limestone and marble with the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and on the face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

He is probably the namesake of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Once the villains were routed, Ratchet and Ironhide put the memorial back together. No harm done! Atlantis, Arise!
