The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!
Transformers Generations 2013
Metrobase was stationed in Earth's orbit in order to guard against Decepticon assaults after a severe battle left Metroplex in critical condition. Unfortunately, its lack of a transformation cog meant it was unable to properly fight against the powerful traitor Metrotitan, and it too was left crippled as Straxus's forces rained down on the unfinished Scramble City.

IDW Generation 1 continuity
Metrobase was amongst the Metrotitans of the Knights of Cybertron when they left Cybertron. You, Me, and Other Revelations
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 Metrotitans seen briefly in the The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye Annual.
