Hey buddy, yeah, you. You need a fill-up? Come on in! Yeah, come on in, just drive on up the ramp to Greasepit's gas station. Naw, don't worry, the ramp ain't too steep.

Toys

Gas Station Brand Gas Stations, now operating in affiliation with the Convenience Store chain of convenience stores.

• Greasepit (Micromaster Station, 1989)
  • Accessories: Sign, missile, ramp

The gas station was sold in a small boxed package, along with Greasepit. Stickers along the "building" portion simulate the inside of a garage repair bay and a convenience store, and advertise Super Gasoline Z-1. Two simulated gas pumps and a "Gas Station" sign complete the operation. Battle mode reveals a quad-gun, three blaster cannons, a non-firing missile and floodlights, plus the "GAS" sign becomes a radar panel.

Ramps allow the gas station to connect to other Micromaster stations to form larger "city" complexes.

In Japan, the station was sold without changes as the Autobot Glasspit's "Gasoline Base".

Notes

• This and the other three Micromaster Stations were later re-used in one of Takara's "Brave" lines, omitting the Micromasters and adding a pair of non-transforming mini-figures from the series.
• The gas station is one of a handful of Micromaster bases that lack any sort of transport mode.
