So many trucker jokes, so little caption space...

The mighty Battlefield Headquarters dominates the field of combat. Under the command of Full-Barrel and Overflow, this Transformer-scaled rig splits and transforms into two space-worthy fighter craft, each armed with multiple lasers and rockets. These two crafts can also combine into an orbital space station.

Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.

• Accessories: 2 "scrambler guns", 2 "laser machine guns", 2 "air-to-air missiles", 2 "cruise missiles"

Released in the seventh and final year of the original The Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and not-final in Europe), the Battlefield Headquarters is a huge, heavily-armed tractor-trailer truck rig. The Cab section can open to seat two Micromasters, and a rear loading ramp folds down to reveal cargo space for more vehicle mode Micromasters. The truck splits apart and converts to an "attack jet" and a "space shuttle"; both components then recombine into a single "battlefield headquarters" mode, which is essentially the jet stacked on top of the shuttle. The shuttle can also hold several Micromasters in its cargo bay.

Unlike every other Micromaster base, the Battlefield Headquarters has nowhere to connect Micromaster ramps to it. Strangely enough, it's also the only base not to come with any ramps. Okay, it's not really that strange in that context. We were being sarcastic.

The Headquarters came with the Autobot Micromaster Combiners Overflow and Full-Barrel.

No version of this mold was sold in Japan.

Notes

• The two Micromasters that come with the Battlefield Headquarters transform and combine into a miniature tractor-trailer that is heavily based on the larger vehicle that they drive.
