Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots were sent along in the Ark to destroy the giant meteors that threatened Cybertron's existence. The launch site they left from was the Autobase.
Later, while the Autobots and Decepticons lay deactivated in the Mt. Saint Hilary, Perceptor and Lord Straxus led the Autobots and Decepticon ranks on Cybertron in the on-going war. Perceptor and his team, including Blaster, fought from the Autobase.
During the time of Unicron, Galvatron took Hook, Line, and Sinker and attacked the Autobase. The entire place burned under Galvatron's wrath, and Emirate Xaaron was made to flee, at the insistence of his fellow Autobots, through the catacombs, under the Autobase's floors, in pursuit of Primus' face.
The Autobase never again was used in the comics series.
