Teletraan I

Teletraan I is the name of the Autobot's computer on board the Ark in the series Transformers Generation One. It was voiced by Casey Kasem.

Teletraan I provided a tremendous amount of intelligence and capability to the Autobot cause. It serves as a principal diagnostic center, control center, surveillance through its control of the Sky Spy satellite, and database for the Autobots.

It was Teletraan I that revived all the Transformers, four million years after their arrival to earth, through holographic imaging of Earth vehicles and repair to their systems. The Decepticons were revived first, followed by the Autobots, thanks to Starscream's carelessness.

In the Beast Wars series, the Ark was found on Earth by Megatron, and Teletraan I was hijacked by Blackarachnia, who was able to download the data codes into her brain using the Golden Disk, stolen by Megatron.

Teletraan II was Teletraan I's counterpart in the third season, after the Ark and Teletraan I were destroyed by Trypticon.

It is an official yet not commonly known fact that the computer's name is spelled "Teletraan I" (with Roman numeral one). Misspellings are more commonly used than the true one; "Teletran One" or "Teletran-1" are the ones most frequently encountered (with the latter even making it into the "Ultimate Guide" book). Though the Beast Wars animated series mispronounced/spelled it as "Teletron One", until a correction by Rattrap in the final episode.
