Teletraan I

Teletraan 1 (テレトラン1, Teretoran Wan) is the semi-sentient computer that runs the Autobots' spaceship/base, the Ark.

Teletraan I has extensive communications abilities and can monitor Earth's television and radio broadcasts to search for news that may be of interest to the Autobots. It also operates the Sky Spy and was responsible for rebuilding and reactivating all the Autobots aboard the Ark in 20XX.

Biography

Perhaps the Ark’s greatest asset is its aforementioned on-board computer, Teletraan 1. Teletraan 1 is a supercomputer with unmatched logical reasoning and analytic capabilities; it can also serve as a communication station with a range of 3,000 miles. Its most powerful ability is contained within its scanning technology: it can analyze local surroundings and then implement a reformatting program to restructure a Transformer’s alternate mode to match the locale. It was this system that awakened the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth, restarting their conflict.

History
When the Autobots' spacecraft crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago, Teletraan I shared the same fate as all the Autobots on board, being knocked offline by the violent impact.

When inscribing his message into the Golden Disk, Megatron included the access codes to Teletraan I to carry out the attempt to destroy Optimus Prime before the Great War was renewed on Earth. Blackarachnia managed to steal the codes, and after Gigatron attempted to kill Prime, she used them to activate Teletraan I's repair equipment.

Later, after the Maximals were forced to move into Mount St. Hilary after the destruction of the Axalon, Rhinox attempted to use Teletraan I's own shield system to protect their fortifications. However, Autobot technology and Maximal technology were too different to make a successful shield system.
