- The Mobile Autobot Repair Bay is a Transformer vehicle from the Marvel portion of 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.

When they discovered the legendary Luna 1, Rodimus, Ratchet, Perceptor, Chromedome, Tailgate and Rung rode M.A.R.B.s across its surface but they were attacked by Decepticons riding skimmer units of their own and Ratchet's M.A.R.B. was destroyed. The Fecund Moon The others fled into a field of deactivated titans and then inside the titans themselves, where Rodimus crashed his M.A.R.B. in a series of nifty moves that incapacitated his pursuer, though none of the others displayed the same level of flair and they were all quickly captured by Lockdown's crew. House of Ambus
Notes
- In "The Fecund Moon", Rodimus and Brainstorm manage to confuse M.A.R.B.s with the homophonic M.A.A.B.s.
