Moonbase One

Moonbase One, or Luna 1, is one of Cybertron's moons, with the others naturally being Moonbase Two, Moonbase 3, and Moon Base Four. (The exact number of Moons that exist varying by universe.)

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

In 2005, it was primarily an Autobot command base during fight against Decepticon-controlled Cybertron. Many Autobots were stationed on Moonbase One, including Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl, Brawn, and the Dinobots, but only Jazz and Cliffjumper were left behind when Optimus Prime went to provide reinforcements to Autobot City.

Not too long afterwards, Moonbase One was targeted and devoured by Unicron. It spent a while being slowly digested within Unicron's bowels, up until he was obliterated by a mystical glowing thingy. The Transformers: The Movie

Animated

Notes

• Cybertron's two (or three, or four) moons were first shown in the movie. At no point were any Cybertronian satellites seen in the first two seasons of the cartoon, making their presence in the movie a bit of a mystery. However, a "drunken" Megatron does refer to Cybertron as 'the land of the metal moon' in "Microbots".
