Gasoline Base

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

Manned by Glasspit, the Gasoline Base is the "mess hall" of the Zone Base, supplying energy to the Micromaster warriors stationed on planet Zone. Additionally, as the energy center of the Zone Base, it is the station in which the powerful Energon Z is stored. Like all the components of the Zone Base, the Gasoline Base can transform into a defensive battle station, and is armed with the tremendously powerful "Energy Missile Z" to repel attacks.

Zone OVA, manga and story pages

Upon the creation of the Zone Base, Glasspit was put in charge of the Gasoline Base. Zone Part 4

When the Decepticon Generals invaded Zone, the Gasoline Base attempted to fend the villains off. It transformed from its innocuous gas station form into a massive artillery platform and let the Decepticons have it with volley after volley of completely and utterly pointless firepower. No matter how much firing was done, no actual damage was done to the Decepticons, who managed to make off with a sample of Energon Z. Zone (manga) Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

The Gasoline Base transforms from a blue and yellow gas station into an assault tower featuring flip-out searchlights and lasers. The universally-sized ramp packaged with the station allows it to link up to every other Micromaster Station and Micromaster Transport. It is identical to the Decepticon gas station released the previous year by Hasbro, which was packaged with the Decepticon Micromaster Greasepit, himself identical to Glasspit.
