>>9294555>>9294558I fucking hate all the stuff I write. Wrote a bio for the Ark/The Last Autobot as well, since I was asked.
Long before the war, the Last Autobot had a name that is now lost to history. A peaceful guardian and observer of Cybertron, it was when he predicted the oncoming war that he decided to make the ultimate sacrifice. Entrusting his longtime friend Alpha Trion to guide the Autobots in his absence, the Last Autobot gave up his [DATA CORRUPTED] mode and retrofitted himself with a formidable and well-armed spaceship altmode. Believing that the Cybertronians evolved and outgrew the need for his guidance, but knowing the sad path they were following, the Last Autobot essentially put himself in self-imposed exile, and prepared himself into a vessel for a journey - or escape - for the next generation to find a new home and forge an everlasting peace. This vessel of hope was thus named the Ark. Few know of this secret, Mainframe being the sole other trustee aside Alpha Trion, being a fellow discreet and peace-loving Autobot. Mainframe accepted the Last Autobot's request for company, and took on the role of the Ark's supercomputer, providing information and guidance to the Autobots while informing or consulting the Last Autobot whenever necessary. They both hope that they may never have to intervene, and may instead return to Cybertronian society welcomed as stewards of an age of peace.
Note:
It might seem semi-pretentious but the idea is that Mainframe and/or TLA can be convinced by Optimus that they should help and intervene and fight for the peace they care so much about. Esp with this bit
>They both hope that they may never have to intervene, and may instead return to Cybertronian society welcomed as stewards of an age of peace.Like, it's obviously not going to be fun to have a toy that you can only transform once the war ended, right? You gotta have that Optimus speech + big robot moment.
