	Within each [[Transformer]] is a [[database]], storage of that Transformer's accumulated knowledge. The '''Underbase''' is a "collection of knowledge that underlies all databases," or rather the combined knowledge of the Transformer race. It is curated by [[Boltax (G1)\|Boltax]] within his [[Temple of Knowledge]], and it is considered off-limits to either [[Autobot]] or [[Decepticon]].

	Though acquiring portions of the Underbase can be enlightening, the combined power of its knowledge could detonate a star on impact, and its mere proximity can leave a planet scorched of life. Its energies are especially damaging to Transformer [[microchip]]s, though [[Binary bonding\|enhancement]] by [[Nebulan\|anything]] [[Pretender\|organic]] can somewhat protect the Transformer.

	During the war, [[Impactor (G1)\|Impactor]] and the [[~~Wrecker~~]]s came to believe that Boltax survived within the Underbase and launched Operation: Cybaxx to find him. They manipulated [[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]]'s lust for power to get his aid in approaching the Underbase. Starscream claimed the power for himself and faced off against [[Bluestreak (G1)\|Bluestreak]]'s team of Autobots, killing three of the six before the Underbase's energies overwhelmed him and he melted from the inside out. The Wreckers eventually managed to extract Boltax from the remains and uploaded him to a new body. Taking on the codename "Cybaxx", Boltax joined the [[Technobot (G1)\|Technobot]]s as an enhancement for [[Computron (G1)\|Computron]]'s arm module, allowing Computron to access the full knowledge of Cybaxx and the Underbase to feed his data processing abilities.

	Prime told his men to set camp while he went to seek the knowledge of the Underbase. Not that long after, Megatron came to the gates of Boltax as well.

When Boltax's disciples gave Megatron the same message about pain and suffering, Megatron instead gave those same gifts to them, as he and his troops destroyed them with firepower.

	Meanwhile, Prime met up with Boltax, who welcomed him and, though he could not give Prime exactly what he sought, allowed him to bathe in the knowledge of the Underbase in a chamber just beyond where they were standing. Optimus entered, but Megatron and his troops were not far behind, and Boltax was quickly dispatched as well.

Optimus entered, but Megatron and his troops were not far behind, and Boltax was quickly dispatched as well.

	Megatron entered the chamber. Realizing the truth, Prime told Megatron that the entire mountain was Boltax, who had converted himself into a giant containment vessel to store the vast energies of the Underbase, while the robot he and Megatron had talked to was merely a puppet. He then added that he'd discovered that the knowledge contained in the Underbase was too much for any one Transformer to know, and that any attempt to input the Underbase would only lead to "madness.... and death."
