- The Niagara Base is a base from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Niagara Base (ナイアガラベース Naiagara Bēsu) is a Maximal outpost on Gaia, concealed behind a waterfall. The Yukikaze is marooned there and so the falls have been fortified by Diver with all manner of armaments and booby traps. Heavy cannons and a launching bay for the Tako Tank are hidden behind the falls, while giant Venus flytraps are scattered about the cliffs.
It's silly, but it works.

Notes
- The Niagara Base has long been reported to be a recommissioned toy from Takara's Microman line. We have yet to get official confirmation of this fact, though. It bears a slight resemblance to the domed Microman Rescue Base. At the very least, it clearly wasn't designed with normal Transformers toys in mind, not even Basic-sized ones, as the base interior is designed around a considerably smaller scale of figure.
- Obviously, the Niagara Base is named after the real-world Niagara Falls. Though said falls are way, way, way bigger.
