| | #REDIRECT [[Cybertron Base (disambiguation)]] |
| | |
| '''Cybertron Base''' is a colossal Autobot. He's really huge. Any more than that, as in if his gigantic body is simply an unliving [[transtector]] for his head component [[Zebres]] (or ''its'' head unit [[Master (RM)|Master]]), is unknown.
| |
| | |
| It's possible "Cybertron Base" is also merely a description, not a name.

| *'''Cybertron Base''' (Contest prize, 2004)
| |
| | |
| : First Prize in a ''Robot Masters'' contest where only 10 were awarded, Cybertron Base is completely identical to the retail-release ''[[Robots in Disguise|Car Robots]]'' [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]] toy, down to what accessories are lacking from the other incarnations of the mold ([[Generation 1]]'s [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Grand Maximus]]), coming only with the two head-robots, a radar dish and the gun for the mid-robot.
| |
| | |
| : In all modes, Base has a wide array of pop-out (non-firing) guns and gimmicks. His left leg hides a small prison cell, plus has a swing-out cannon/helipad. His right leg has a small storage compartment. The torso has a gear-activated spinner for the detachable radar array accessory, a "control socket" for [[Zebres]]' "communcations tower" mode, and a working elevator that can lift small toys up to its central ramp to be launched in its altmodes. (The crank for this elevator ends up in a very unfortunate position in robot mode.) Each arm has a long ramp on the back with sliding launchers for small vehicles.
| |
| | |
| : The giant robot-mode head is formed by Zebres, who does not actually need the tiny [[Master (RM)|Master]] unit to attach to the upper body.
| |
| | |
| : Cybertron Base was shipped in a fairly plain white box, and came with newly-printed instructions. He ''also'' came with the exact same paperwork packet as ''Car Robots''' Brave Maximus, including unchanged instructions, a ''Car Robots'' catalogue, and the Bave Maximus bio card.
| |
| | |
| : Second prize in the contest, a [[Arsenal Force #Robot Masters|set of uniquely-colored solitarium weapons]], was certainly the cooler one.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Takara's recent timeline-tweaking via ''[[Kiss Players]]'' implies that the Cybertron Base of ''Robot Masters'' might actually ''be'' Brave Maximus from ''[[Robots in Disguise|Car Robots]]'' (since that series has been [[retcon]]ned into the [[Generation 1]] timeline)... who then went on to become the body for the original Fortress Maximus in ''[[The Headmasters]]''. Why Cybertron Base and Brave Maximus' various sub-robots have different names (and what the hell happened to [[Zebres]]-slash-[[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]] that let him be replaced by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]]) is unexplained.
