Transformers ARK: Ironhide!

Ironhide! 🧨

Ironhide’s been around for quite a while and much prefers to handle things the old fashioned way: with fists and his trusty plasma cannons. Gruff and ornery, this once untrusting bot has grown to be extremely loyal to Optimus and the autobot cause, becoming something of Prime’s personal guard. His rough demeanor can be intimidating to new cadets, but his strictness comes from a place of caring and passion.

In fact, it comes as a shock to most at how gentle and kind he can be with his young charge, Bumblebee. But of course, the bots closest to him know just how soft the spark is under all that armor. (Hence why Optimus was so adamant on assigning Ironhide of all bots to become Bumblebee's guardian)

Wow She is Much Bigger than I thought she'd be

(i think this is from the transformers netflix cartoon, which i still hate btw)

Since ships (and by extension large spaceships in sci fi) are traditionally coded as female, technically any male Transformers character who turns into a boat or spaceship is trans

What the Autobots truly see when the kitty is around 😼

No are we gonna ignore that episode or..??

What purpose did the Ark's pincers originally serve before coming to Earth?

You have amazing art and a solid story so far, btw! Here's hoping both gain more attention!!

A-R-K units are commercial transport, and passenger ship hosting amenities to support several dozen bots for long periods of continuous space travel and sizable storage areas able to hold large amounts of cargo, even though they are an older model, they are known for being extremely reliable

the pincers are the Ark's way of interacting with the outside world while in space, moving space debris, transporting cargo for short distances, assisting damaged ships, or using them to latch onto larger objects to temporarily dock its self, though they can be used as weapons, this is very much not their intended function

the autobots chose to use an ark ship for the Allspark transport, giving up the speed and combat ability of a battle cruiser or the strength and defense of a traditional cybertronian warship for the stealth factor of using a common commercial ship though despite their best efforts, they were out anyway, almost as if someone told the decepticons their location :)

Transformers ARK: Arcee!

Arcee may not look it, but she’s as tough and stubborn as they come. She can run with the big frontliners and tussle with the wreckers but still maintain one of the biggest hearts of the autobot army. Arcee is loyal and honest, but never afraid to speak her mind or act on her spark.

The youngest of her sisters (Elita & Chromia) and certainly the most free-spirited. With her southern-like charm, Arcee has become one of the most beloved and trusted warriors among the autobot troops.

Dear Vector Prime,

As I’m sure you’re aware, there are universes where the Ark and the Nemesis are Transformers themselves. Has there ever been a case of… forbidden love between the two ships?

Dear Ship Shipper,

In Maximal legend, it is said that long ago, their ancestors created an immense Ark, to carry their people to safe haven on an alien world. Their hated enemies, whose descendants would one day become the Predacons, gave chase in their own vessel, forged to be her equal, her Nemesis.

For her robot mode, they gave this Nemesis vicious talons, capable of raking through layers of hull plating, to expose the crew to the cold night. They molded her with a sleek and arrowlike profile, to be near-invisible in pursuit. They loaded her with artillery, until her every deck bristled with cannons and torpedoes, a single broadside enough to atomize any warship. And they installed a powerful tractor beam, which locked the Ark in a death grip as their warriors boarded, fighting their way to the bridge to send the vessel on a collision course with the planet below. But when this task was done, and they returned to their own ship, they found that this tractor beam would not release its hold.

For all their wicked designs, they made a single miscalculation: as to power her engines, the energy source they chose was none other than the Heart of Cybertron. From this unique and enigmatic artifact, there came the concept of a self. In giving the ship life, they had given her feeling. But was her refusal to deactivate the tractor beam borne of hatred for her creators, for all their cruelty, a desire to see them burnt up and buried? Or was it an act of love, for her counterpart, whom upon meeting, she felt she could not bear to live without?

That is the quandary the Maximals are left with: to call into question the fundamental nature of the foe, and what truly lies in their Heart. Even with my unique ability to step into history, and see the ships as they fall, as they crash, as they lie dormant, as they reawaken, and as they take to the stars once more... I have no especial insight I can offer as to how these beings, greater than any one of us, truly felt about each other.

Design for autonomous maximus The great dome of iacon , vector sigma , and auntie vector sigma's avatar to the future

beneath the montain, vector sigma guided the transformers as their maternal god, and as society emerged around her resting place, the mountain came to life to protect it's mother computer by joining the autobots,

Remaining on the planet after vector Sigma's deactivation, it's said that autonomous maximus is still on cybertron to this day as its last autobot while his body became the basis for arks that Shepherd his fellow autobots off world

Deep bellow cybertron lay the allspark powered mother computer vector sigma, responsible for running the great machine that was cybertron, she sees the transformers as her children so she showered them with great love but infantilized them in her head as unable to do evil, so she did not act as their society corroded, secluded away in her chamber where she could gaze milions of years into the future, she guided cybertron's ecosystem into becoming a mechanical version of earth with robot animals and of course robot humans in the transformers, as she knew even back then that the unremarkable earth would play a great role in her children's history,

With her knowlege of the future she created messages put into the right places to allow her to comunicate wifh future generations she sees herself as a god but her nature is entirely mechanical, she doesn't even have a spark, and her ability to see the future is based on algorithms and what she already knows via the "sensory organs" of cybertron, so sometimes her messages spiral off into tangents and nonsense after having predicted the wrong response from her intended listener

In messages for earth, Vector Sigma uses an avatar called auntie as she sees earth as a sister to cybertron. Though its residents aren't fully on board with the idea, it's like that aunt or uncle you barely know that acts way too chumy with you in a way that's off-putting rather than charming,

Above her chamber stood the city of iacon, greatly respected, but over the years, it became the house of all corruption on cybertron as the functionist council excavated it's great dome to act as their captital. The building itself shackled as iacon grew into a massive metropolis, and all the spilled energon that naturally came from its massive population threatened to bring the building to life,

when the revolution tore down the government, the restrains were destroyed, and the building began reformating itself with a robot mode just as megatronus and liege maximo revealed their aliance with bruticus maximus. But before they could end the autobots with their opening assault autonomous maximus awakened, and in a split second decision, protected the autobots from harm with a single mighty punch

With the newly christened decepticons retreating, the autobots named themselves after the giant that saved them and over the course of the next milenia civil war between the autobots and decepticons raged until the two sides had captured so much terrain and became so diferent from each other they were separate nations, nations whose war plundered cybertron and the world off of it's resources until the planet was spent.

The autobots omit this part of the story, but it was the autobots who took the allspark and tossed it into space to keep it away from the hands of the decepticons, quickly regretting that action as the planet died around them, the part they do tell is that the surviving transformers hid away inside titans like autonomous maximus, overcome with the weight of sins on their back, they began to construct arks to search for the allspark, all based on autonomous maximus' design, each housing three great titans

While maximus himself opted to stay behind on cybertron. Loyal to it's mother above all even as her lifeless husk hung from the celling of her chamber, to give the arks power to lift off prima used the star saber to gather celestial power into the arks, dissipating her body entirely, while maximus fought off the decepticons wishing to attack the arks,

or at least thats what they tell you. Even a most basic analysis of the story would tell you the decepticons obviously also wanted to escape the planet, meaning the ancient autobots were willing to let their enemies die from their own atrocity. What could have happened to turn a culture like any other with its complexities and grey morality into heroes?

Guilt. With the fall of cybertron, the autobots became suicidal, and their leaders had to turn that self-destructive impulse into the service of others, ideas that permiated autobot ranks to this day, as new generations were born aboard the ships, that initial melancholy faded away as the new faces never stepped foot on cybertron,

but from the moment they came online, the autobots were taught to live for the well-being of others as their number one priority, till all are one, drilling that message into their heads is their society's one goal, as with anything their sucess rate varies (see barricade). While their search for the allspark became myth, then legend,

It was in that world that our autobots, natives of ark primax came from, and that leads us to today, with them telling the story to the earth's own population of transformers, most are skeptical of certain aspects of the tale, but the mistress of flame is enchanted by their story, dispite their claims otherwise, easily becoming part of her view of cybertronians as gods
