Battlefield Headquarters

The Battlefield Headquarters is an Autobot Micromaster vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.

So many trucker jokes, so little caption space...

The mighty Battlefield Headquarters dominates the field of combat. Under the command of Full-Barrel and Overflow, this Transformer-scaled rig splits and transforms into two space-worthy fighter craft, each armed with multiple lasers and rockets. These two crafts can also combine into an orbital space station.

Toys

• Battlefield Headquarters (Micromaster Combiner Autobot Headquarters, 1990)
  • Accessories: "Battle truck", 2 "scrambler guns", 2 "laser machine guns", 2 "air-to-air missiles", 2 "cruise missiles"

The Battlefield Headquarters was sold boxed and came with Overflow and Full-Barrel. In its tractor-trailer mode, it is heavily armed, with four "missiles" and four "guns". Both Micromasters can ride in its cab, and a rear loading ramp folds down to reveal cargo space for more vehicle-mode Micromasters. The truck splits and converts to an "attack jet" and a "space shuttle"; both components then recombine into a single "battlefield headquarters" mode, which is essentially the jet stacked on top of the shuttle. The shuttle can also hold several Micromasters in its cargo bay.

Unlike every single other Micromaster base, the Battlefield Headquarters has nowhere to connect Micromaster ramps to it. Strangely enough, it's also the only base not to come with any ramps. Okay, it's not really that strange in that context. I was being sarcastic.

Notes

• The two Micromasters that come with the Battlefield Headquarters transform and combine into a miniature tractor-trailer that is heavily based on the larger vehicle that they drive.
