	Sari, Bumblebee, Prowl and Bulkhead played hockey in front of the base, though they interrupted [[Ratchet (Animated)\|Ratchet]]'s stasis nap. When they saw the arrival of [[Lugnut (Animated)\|Lugnut]] and [[Blitzwing (Animated)\|Blitzwing]] on Earth in a news report, the Autobots went out to fight them. A short time later, they arrived back in need of repairs, and realized they were going to have to leave the planet, or risk [[human]]s getting hurt.

	When you're light years from [[Cybertron (planet)\|your planet]] and your [[Omega Supreme (Animated)\|ship]] is in an [[Lake Erie\|inaccessible place]], you still need a place to call home. That's why [[Optimus Prime (Animated)\|Optimus Prime]]'s crew have made an '''Autobot Earth Base''' out of an old abandoned factory. It has everything a giant transforming robot could need: a production line, a communications center, and a big-screen [[television]]. There are plenty of extra rooms for the Autobots to occupy in their down-time too, and even one for [[Ratchet (Animated)\|Ratchet]] to use as a med bay. About the only thing it doesn't have is peace and quiet so [[Prowl (Animated)\|Prowl]] can complete his [[Cyber-Ninja Corps\|Cyber-Ninja]] training, and it's not really a great place for [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)\|a small human]] to live, but, hey, no place is perfect.

	After Meltdown was broken out of [[Blackwater Prison]], Prowl used the big screen TV to enhance the resolution on an image, showing it was the [[Dinobot (Animated)\|Dinobot]]s who had broken Meltdown out. {{storylink\|Black Friday (episode)\| Black Friday}} Bulkhead found the base wasn't a great place to paint, because the other Autobots kept giving him unhelpful advice. After encountering [[Blurr (Animated)\|Blurr]], Bumblebee brought the intelligence officer back to base, and he filled the Autobots in on Megatron's activities before taking them all to attack the [[Decepticon Earth Base (Animated)\|Decepticon mine base]]. {{storylink\|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}		After Meltdown was broken out of [[Blackwater Prison]], Prowl used the big screen TV to enhance the resolution on an image, showing it was the [[Dinobot (Animated)\|Dinobot]]s who had broken Meltdown out. {{storylink\|Black Friday (episode)\| Black Friday}} Bulkhead found the base wasn't a great place to paint, because the other Autobots kept giving him unhelpful advice.

	Following the revelation that Sari was some sort of robot, she decided she'd rather stay at the Autobot base than live under the same roof as Professor Sumdac. Ratchet checked her over, though she drew the line at an exploratory probe. Following a [[transwarp]] incident with Bumblebee, Bulkhead used a [[retrieval beacon generator]] to bring the small Autobot back. Bumblebee reappeared in the lot in front of the factory, though he happened to be inside a [[Rock Lord]] at the time. While the Autobots chased it, Sari used her key to upgrade herself. Later on, Optimus invited Professor Sumdac to the base to be with his daughter. While the Autobots gathered in the lot outside, Omega Supreme, now controlled by Megatron, suddenly transwarped in overhead and the Autobots had to lead him away from the city. {{storylink\|TransWarped}} Bumblebee often slacked off playing computer games when he was meant to be on monitor duty. On one occasion, [[Wasp]] got into the base and switched paint jobs with him. After a chase around Detroit, the Autobots returned Bumblebee to base, and determined that the best way to work out who was the real Bumblebee was to have them play ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]''. At that point Wasp cut his losses and split. {{storylink\|Where Is Thy Sting?}}		Following the revelation that Sari was some sort of robot, she decided she would rather stay at the Autobot base than live under the same roof as Professor Sumdac.

	Soundwave set up a laboratory in a sub-basement of the factory, unknown to any of the building's inhabitants. On [[Christmas]], he managed to render the Autobots unconscious and wire them up to a virtual world in the laboratory. Sari came looking for them, and was chased off by [[Laserbeak (Animated)\|Laserbeak]], so there they remained while Soundwave tried to reprogram them into Decepticons. {{storylink\|Human Error, Part I}} The reprogramming of the Autobots appeared to work, so Soundwave took them from the base to pit them against Sari's [[Substitute Autobot]]s (it didn't end well for Soundwave). {{storylink\|Human Error, Part II}} The base proved an unsuitable place for Prowl to hone his Cyber-Ninja skills, so he and [[Jazz (Animated)\|Jazz]] went elsewhere. With a Decepticon attack impending, Optimus had Ratchet, Sari and Professor Sumdac build him a flight-capable upgrade. After one not-so-successful test, they added stabilizers, and persuaded Optimus to use the [[Magnus Hammer]], which turned out to be just as well, as they had to leave the base to face three [[Lugnut Supreme]]s. {{storylink\|Endgame, Part I}}		Soundwave set up a laboratory in a sub-basement of the factory, unknown to any of the building's inhabitants.

	As [[Porter C. Powell]] took over [[Sumdac Tower]] in the wake of Professor Sumdac's disappearance, Sari found herself homeless.
