Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

When Unicron began attacking the Cybertronian colonies, Optimus Prime led a team aboard the Ark-Zero to aid in the defense of Elonia, theirs being the only ship capable of reaching the Solstar capital in time to confront the Chaos Bringer. When the Ark-Zero arrived, the crew orbital jumped down to the surface to set up Wheeljack's space bridge pylons and evacuate the Elonians. Once Unicron had consumed the (largely empty) planet, he teleported himself away, leaving the Ark-Zero crew to pick up the straggling Space Knights and brief them on the threat they were facing. Our Darkest Before the ship had even left Elonian space, the crew received the news that Unicron had devoured Eukaris and was currently feasting on Devisiun. Unstopped and Unstoppable

At Prowl's advice, the Council of Worlds baited a trap for Unicron at Caminus, the Ark-Zero serving as the flagship of the Autobot fleet defending the planet. Though the Cybertronians fought valiantly, the Maximals' numerical superiority proved the deciding factor with the heavily damaged Ark-Zero limping back to Iacon once the Chaos Bringer had consumed the colony.
