Rescue Secret Base
Microman, Takara, 1979

Secret Facts to Base an Opinion On:

the base had series of radar dishes that when triggered would activate the one of the Secret Base's features.
The main radar dish (on the left side) activated the light and rotated the large chrome antennae.

the back radar dish (back side of base) launched the secret MB-1 vehicle and the front radar dish spun the hidden secret wall to reveal a secret gun station.

Rescue Base even came with Amazon Cannon spring loaded missiles that can be used to shoot the radar dish to activate the base secret features.

Besides these mechanism features, the base also had several static feature such as missile launchers, openable dome top, observation post, sentry post and computer station for Microman figures.

If it's a Secret Base, why is it in bright primary colors in a grey crater? But it does look like fun.

simple, really.
you see, the Acroyears (Microman's nemesis) were unable to see anything in primary colours if it were placed against a grey crater. [img]wink.gif[/img]
