Its been bugging me lately what day the Autobot ship The Ark crashed on Earth. We know it was in 1984 according to both the comic books and the cartoons but on what day exactly? I believe that Mirage holds the answer. When his vehicle mode was reformatted on Earth he was given the look of a Ligier F1 car and that means that the Ark crashed on a day when F1 cars were racing in America. There were only two F1 races held in America in 1984 and they were the Detroit GP on the 24th June and the Dallas GP on the 8th July. Considering that the Autobot Skyspy (or whatever it was called) presumably only travelled a short distance from where the Ark crashed in Oregan I believe it was during the Dallas GP because it was a lot nearer to Oregan than what Detroit was. I hereby conclude that the Ark crash-landed on the weekend of the 8th July 1984.

Nonsense.
According to my tinfoil hat and listening devices implanted in my teeth, the Ark crash landed on June 3rd, 1962, at 8:02pm in an obscure town in Sweden that has no name. A very confused moose on holiday from Canada was slightly shocked by this occurance. Inside the Ark were in fact no transforming robots, merely members of the Bruce Forsyth Appreciation Society who had travelled back in time from Belgium in 2042 and thus were a tad nonplussed to find themselves in Sweden, a place Bruce Forsyth had never performed in, according to their many guidebooks.

I hate to be a pedantic bore, but the Ark crashed in pre-history, before the invention of the calendar  The day the Ark came back on line would be the question to the answer you propose... However, 'The Day The Ark Crashed' would make a most excellent fanfic title. Mx |

That's what I meant to mean but I thought the thread sounded better if it had a catchy title.

If you want to write a story titled 'The Day The Ark Crashed' maybe it could be about the oft-told tale of Shockwave and the Dinobots battling on prehistoric Earth.

It's kind of been done before is the only problem. So you'd need some new approach if you wanted to tackle it.

A T.V style report where Autobots from all over the galaxy remember where they were when the Ark Crashed:
Optimus Prime: I was....i-i was offline...so....um....
Prowl: I...can't remember i wasn't online...

The Ark crashed in May 1991. Possibly May Day.

Now might be the time to remind Andy that when the Ark crashed again, Fub Publications forgot it had crashed in Northern Canada.

Personally - as soon as I read the title, and the first post, the following vision appeared in my mind:
A man and a woman who are both greek marble statues are having sex on a hill top that is covered in tree and grass; behind them - in grainy film grain - a grey mountain. The narrator says that they are Jack and Jill - but now that I think of it they must be Adam and Eve. They are frozen in their Greek marble statue forms as the Ark Crashes into the mountain behind them.
Then, in Detroit, an F1 race car that looks exactly like mirage is plastered on the race track.
And that's really all.
But I do agree - it would be a great fanfic title - and it could have some potential.
