Miranda II


 * ''The Miranda II is a joint Autobot and Earth Federation spaceship in the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.



The Miranda II was the starship commanded by Optimus Prime and his crew during the Energon War and the Powerlinx Battles. It was designed and built by Dr. Brian Jones in secret on the Earth's Moon.

Dr. Jones named the ship Miranda after his wife Miranda Jones, thus according to naval tradition, establishing this ship as a Miranda Class.

The Miranda II was rolled out of its secret drydock on the Moon so the Autobots could track down Unicron, using homing beacons that Ironhide had placed on two Divebomb drones. Carlos was able to trace Unicron's location, but to their surprise the beacon signals came from two different star systems.

The Autobots warp jumped to the Sol System's asteroid belt, attracting the attention of the Decepticons, who did not wish for their secret base within Unicron to be revealed. So they launched an attack as the Miranda II was preparing a Space Bridge ring module to peform a second jump, forcing them to use the starship's portable Energon Grid generator.

Megatron was caught in the path of the approaching Energon Field wave, but was pushed out of the way in time by Demolishor, who nobly sacrificed himself to save his leader. He exploded, to the horror of the Autobot onlookers who had served with him.

Then Ironhide ruined the scene by saying a nonsensical line. Doofus.
