Zone Base

Zone Base is an Autobot installation from the Zone portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

When Energon Z was developed on planet Micro, the world underwent a massive defensive upgrade and was re-christened "Zone". As part of this process, the Zone Base (Z (ゾーン)ベース Zōn Bēsu) was established as the primary headquarters for the Autobot Micromaster teams operating on the planet. Formed from numerous interlocking Micromaster Stations, the Zone Base acts a staging base from which the Autobots deploy to protect planets all throughout the galaxy.

The Zone Base is composed of:

• Moonradar's Rocket Base
• Glasspit's Gasoline Base
• Hot House's Fire Base
• Ironworks's Build Base
• Overair's Airport Base

• Microtransformer Stations (1990)
  • Airport Base
  • Build Base
  • Fire Base
  • Gasoline Base

The components of the Zone Base were sold separately, with their individual Micromaster partners (the Rocket Base, much larger than the other four stations, also included the Rescue Patrol Team). Each station unfolds from a building into a battle station, which can connect up to the other stations (as well as any of the various Micromaster Transports) via the universally-sized ramps included with all of them.

The Micromaster bases were released by Hasbro the previous year, under the names of their Micromaster partners, rather than the name of the station itself, as was Takara's promotional preference. Notably, Glasspit, Overair, and their bases were released not as Autobots, but as Decepticons: Greasepit and his gas station, and Airwave and his airport.
