What's the best-looking spaceship to debut in a TF story? Here's a list of all of them (too many for a poll): tfwiki.net/wiki/StarshipShips like the USS Enterprise don't count. Me, I'm no fan of the 1986 animated movie, but I'd have to say I'm leaning towards Galvatron's Unicronian warship, the Revenge, as being the most awesome: tfwiki.net/wiki/Revenge_(G1)(The maddest is of course the Desert Island of Space, a.k.a. Club Con.) Martin |

I have always adored the Autobot Shuttle from the movie. The shuttle from Man Of Iron is a favorite too.
I preferred the Decepticon ship from the cartoon to the Movie.

I like the ship that Titan Trypticon makes. It's quite sleek and I like the way the transparent piece at the front would either be a cockpit canopy for a deluxe, or a vast window into space for tiny figures in scale with the city mode.  In media, I don't think you can beat the cartoon Ark, but the more stylised designs adapted from it - particularly the Fall of Cybertron one. i.pinimg.com/originals/78/37/bd/7837bda52c2cc4272586815ba0880513.jpg |

As soon as I read the title of this thread, I thought of Galvatron's ship in the movie. Also like the Quintesson corkscrew ships as well as the Autobot shuttles from that too.
The Ark is iconic sticking out of the volcano too (thinking cartoon here).
Bur surely the winner has to be Aaron's toy rocket from Childs Play though...

The Autobot shuttles circa the movie immediately jump out for me, and I also have a soft spot for the ships Jazz, Cliffjumper, et al use to attempt to escape Unicron.
Dan Reed’s design for Kup’s ship sticks in my mind as well.

Yup movie shuttle here. I long thought it was the Ark and still do most of the time.

Might have something to do with the 'guide to spaceships' feature in the second-to-last annual mistakenly labelling it as the Ark, and it also being used as the Ark in a few late issues of the UK comic, notably 'Assault on the Ark'.  'Course, that's not really the Ark. This is:  Martin |

That 'real Ark' is amazingly clean and white.
And that's even after a crash landing. Those Autobots shold be so proud of their cleanliness.

Well, that panel above is all Shockwaves work. Conquering the galaxy in a dirty ship would be... illogical.

It's made of Space Metal. Whatever it is, it's tough stuff. It punched Unicron on the jaw! Martin |

The Decepticon ship Nemesis in size comparison with other famous spaceships.

Ha! I was just about to post that. It's very unnerving the way it keeps zooming out. We had a video like this some time ago.
It did make me think though, how do we know it's 4km long, and why is it that big? I know transformers are big, but that does seem rather large. The Ark must be similar then.
