Notes
- Metrobase was originally, in what was for a long time its one illustrated appearance (seen at the top of this article) drawn to resemble the Autobot city-bot Metroplex. Its white, blue and burgundy coloration, meanwhile, was similar, but not identical, to the Metroplex redeco Metrotitan.
- For the appearance in "Metrowars", Metrobase's color palette was revised to a more distinct lilac-based scheme, one of those previously used by Guido Guidi in the fleet of Titans seen briefly in the The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye Annual.
