The Mobile Command Base is a toy made by BTS Toys in 2009 as a third party Transformer accessory.

This accessory was also released in a variety of colors with different names as trailers for the various recolors of the Optimus Prime toy.

The Mobile Command Base with Rollout Drone is an add-on accessory for the Classic Voyager Optimus Prime toy and it's recolors. It was designed as a trailer that becomes a base with a drone similar to Generation 1 Roller. The original version was colored like the Generation 1 Optimus Prime trailer, but later versions were colored to match various recolors of the Optimus Prime toy. These include the Nemesis Command Center for Nemesis Prime, the Motion Cryptotype Base for Henkei Crystal Convoy and the Nemesis Motion Base for Shattered Glass Optimus Prime.

Toy company Reprolabels designed a label sheet for the Mobile Command Base which makes it look more like the Generation 1 Optimus Prime trailer, including Autobot symbols.

The Mobile Command Base isn't the only third party trailer for Classic Voyager Optimus Prime. There is also the G3 Trailer.
