	When planet [[Micro]] was rebuilt by the [[Powered Master]]s to protect the newly developed [[Energon Z]], Moonradar's Rocket Base formed the core of the [[Zone Base]], a sprawling installation formed of numerous interlocking stations manned by Micromasters which served to defend the planet. The Rocket Base served as a launch station for both the trustworthy Autobot [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and the "[[Galaxy Rocket]]", a spacecraft which could transform into a small base itself, which both transported Micromaster teams to planets all across the galaxy in order to protect them from the Decepticons attempting to making a "Zone" of their own. {{storylink\|Fight!

	After defeating Decepticon attacks on various other planets, the Autobots on Zone itself soon came under attack by [[Overlord (G1)\|Overlord]], [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]], [[Menasor (G1)\|Menasor]], and [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]], who sought the Energon Z for their master, [[Violengiguar]]. The villains successfully purloined the energy source, but the Micromasters did not give up, transforming the Rocket Base and launching the Galaxy Rocket in pursuit of the Decepticons.

	When planet [[Micro]] was rebuilt by the [[Powered Master]]s to protect the newly developed [[Energon Z]], Moonradar's Rocket Base formed the core of the [[Zone Base]], a sprawling installation formed of numerous interlocking stations manned by Micromasters which served to defend the planet. The Rocket Base served as a launch station for both the trustworthy Autobot [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and the "[[Galaxy Rocket]]", a spacecraft which could transform into a small base itself, which both transported Micromaster teams to planets all across the galaxy in order to protect them from the Decepticons attempting to making a "Zone" of their own. {{storylink\|Fight!

	After defeating Decepticon attacks on various other planets, the Autobots on Zone itself soon came under attack by [[Overlord (G1)\|Overlord]], [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]], [[Menasor (G1)\|Menasor]], and [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]], who sought the Energon Z for their master, [[Violengiguar]]. The villains successfully purloined the energy source, but the Micromasters did not give up, transforming the Rocket Base and launching the Galaxy Rocket in pursuit of the Decepticons. Unfortunately, the tiny heroes were stopped in their tracks by [[Scorponok (G1)\|BlackZarak]], but soon, [[Dai Atlas (G1)\|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber]] arrived to put the Decepticons in their place. {{storylink\|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}		After defeating Decepticon attacks on various other planets, the Autobots on Zone itself soon came under attack by [[Overlord (G1)\|Overlord]], [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]], [[Menasor (G1)\|Menasor]], and [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]], who sought the Energon Z for their master, [[Violengiguar]].

	The Zone Base later came under Decepticon attack once more, this time at the hands of the monstrous [[Metrotitan (G1)\|Metrotitan]], and was badly damaged in his assault. Galaxy Shuttle was stationed at the Rocket Base at the time, and was destroyed by the towering terror; the extent of the damage suffered by the Rocket Base, if it survived at all, is unclear. {{storylink\|Fight!
