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 Transformers aboard the Ark in 1984.

Biography

 * Voice actor: Casey Kasem (English), Masashi Ebara (Japanese)

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 four million years ago, Teletraan I shared the same fate as all the Transformers on board, being knocked offline/stasis lock by the violent impact.
