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.

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. Undamaged even by this ungodly amount of ammo, Overlord cleaved the tower off the Gasoline Base with his staff and tore out the Energon Z within it.
