[edit] Ships

[edit] Atlantis

According to Vector Prime's explanation, Atlantis is one of the four Cybertronian starships that transported the Cyber Planet Keys to the four planets. Atlantis is the ship that transported a Cyber Planet Key, the Omega Lock and transformers to Earth. Known as a city that floated on the air, it malfunctioned and fell into the Bermuda Triangle.

It was later discovered by the Autobots at the bottom of the ocean, and Vector Prime warped Atlantis to the dark side of the moon until he and the kids could find the Omega Lock. Unfortunately, Megatron took the Omega Lock before the security system was shut down, resulting in the Atlantis' explosion.

Some time later, the kids followed Sideways, who kidnapped the Minicons, to a repaired Atlantis, which Sideways had worked day and night to make into an evil hideout. They managed to escape when Starscream came back to warp the ship. Starscream would subsequently use the vessel on several occasions, notably to extract a second portion of Primus' Spark to increase his size and power once again.

In the time-space tunnel, Bud, Jolt and Reverb sabotage the engines to slow Starscream down. On Gigantion, where Sideways crashed into a fissure, Quickmix buried Atlantis (except the bridge) in quick dry cement. The Autobots digging Atlantis out to make a space bridge and later brought with Gigantion's inhabitants back to their proper universe.

Optimus Prime (Galaxy Convoy), in the final episode of Transformers: Cybertron "Beginning", proposed a new Space Bridge project using the power of the four Cyber Planet Keys and the four great Cybertronian ships. Many Autobots and former Decepticons joined in the project. Leaving Jetfire (Dreadrock) in charge of Cybertron, Optimus Prime lead the Atlantis with the Earth Cyber Planet Key, joined by Red Alert, Safeguard, Scattorshot, Leobreaker, Menasor and Heavy Load.

[edit] Ogygia

Ogygia (Mu in Japan) was the ship that brought Velocitron's first Transformers to the planet. Shortly after Primus was reawakened, Override arrived on Cybertron with it so that the Autobots could travel to Gigantion. It served as the Autobots' home base in the other universe, and engaged the Atlantis in battle several times. Together with the rest of the ships, it became part of the huge vessel known as the Ark, and was later sent out into the galaxy again to help expand the space bridge. Override lead the Ogygia (Mu) and Velocitron Cyber Planet Key with Brakedown, Quickmix and Undermine.

[edit] Hyperborea

Hyperborea (Lemuria in Japan) is the ancient Cybertronian vessel that brought the first Transformers to the Jungle Planet. It was then buried where Scourge's future temple was. When the black hole was going to swallow the Jungle Planet, Scourge's emotion unburryied it. Hyperborea fused together with the other three Cybertronian vessels to become the Ark, which was used by Primus to destroy the black hole. Afterwards, the ships separated, and Hyperborea joined its sister vessels in traveling into the unexplored reaches of the galaxy to build the new spacebridge. Evac lead the Hyperborea (Pangea) and Jungle Planet (Animatros) Cyber Planet Key with Backstop and Lugnutz.

[edit] Lemuria

Lemuria (Pangea in Japan) was the Cybertronian ship that brought the first transformers and Cyber Planet Key to Gigantion. After battle with the inhabitants of Planet X, Lemuria was built into a city at the center of the planet, where the Cyber Planet Key lay. After the Cyber Planet Keys and the Omega Lock were stolen by Galvatron, the Lemuria's engines were activated and it was used by the Autobots in an effort to create a new spacebridge between the alternate universe and the Cybertron universe. Though this effort failed, the sacrifice of Vector Prime reopened the interdimensional portal, allowing the Lemuria to accompany the Ogygia and the Atlantis back to its home universe. Combining with them and the Hyperborea, the Lemuria became part of the Ark, which Primus used to close the black hole.

In the final episode of Transformers: Cybertron, Optimus Prime (Galaxy Convoy) proposed a new Space Bridge project using the power of the four Cyber Planet Keys and the four great Cybertronian ships. Many Autobots and former Decepticons joined in the project. Metroplex led the Lemuria and Gigantia Cyber Planet Key with Drillbit, Signal Lancer, Undermine, and Brimstone under his command.
