- The Mobile Autobot Repair Bay is a Transformer vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A Mobile Autobot Repair Bay, or M.A.R.B., is an extremely versatile Autobot vehicle. It is a hovering vehicle, equipped with sensors sophisticated enough to detect life signs buried below several meters of tar despite four million years of hibernation. It also possesses a high-pressure hose able to blast away said tar, and enough gear to patch into a Transformer's mind and display their memories on a monitor.

Ratchet rode the M.A.R.B. through the Savage Land as he attempted to locate the Dinobots. He then used its gear to uncover Slag and tap into his memories. Repeat Performance!
