Line 4: Some variants are exclusive to certain jobs. For example, the [[Mad Scientist]] will naturally live in the [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]], and a [[Cop Show]] inevitably has a precinct. In a show where a team [[Walking the Earth\|is wandering around]], their [[Cool Ship]], [[Cool Boat]] or other cool vehicle may double as Home Base. Larger bases for villains may have a [[Den of Iniquity]] for off-hour "recreation". [['''Home Base]]''' may also literally be a private home, which makes it all the more [[~~Its~~It's Personal\|personal]] when a villain [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us\|breaks in]]. Incredibly common, since it's obviously cheaper to shoot in a single recurring set than to build new locations. Line 11: ---- ~~===~~ '''Sub-tropes: ~~===~~''' * [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] * [[Base Onon Wheels]] * [[The Battlestar]] * [[Bigger Onon the Inside]] * [[Cave Behind the Falls]] * [[Collapsing Lair]] ** [[Load -Bearing Boss]] * [[Elaborate Underground Base]] * [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]] Line 40 ⟶ 38: * [[Volcano Lair]] ~~===~~ '''Related Tropes: ~~===~~''' * [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]] * [[Bookcase Passage]] Line 50 ⟶ 48: {{examples\|Examples that don't fit in other tropes:}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * It is quite frequent in [[Humongous Mecha]] shows ([[Justified]], since you can not easily keep a giant, humanoid machine war in your home unless your name is [[Daitarn 3\|Banjo Haran]]): ''[[~~Mazinger Z (Anime)\|~~Mazinger Z]]'': The Photon Atomic Research Institute was the heroes's base where they kept the [[Humongous Mecha]] and all tools they needed to repair them and upgrade them. Originally it was a civilian use building -a laboratory researched the newly discovered Photon Atomic energy-, but Dr. Hell pretty much forced them to make some modifications (such like installing a [[Beehive Barrier]]). Over the half of the series, [[The Hero]] and his little brother moved to the Institute, making the example even more literal. [[Big Bad]] Dr. Hell had two [[Supervillain Lair]]: Bardos Island And Hell Island. Both of them counted like [[Elaborate Underground Base]], [[Island Base]] and [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]]. ''[[~~Great Mazinger (Anime)\|~~Great Mazinger]]'': The Fortress of Science was the place where the heroes lived and their HQ to fight the Mykene Empire. It stood out in sea beside the Japanese shoreline and it could submerge -doubling like an [[Underwater Base]]-. Some parts of the building could detach off the remain and work like a submarine or a flying carrier. Mykene Empire [[Home Base]] was necessarily an [[Elaborate Underground Base]] because they were a civilization lived underground. * It was parodied, too. Boss' gang were looking for a [[Home Base]] for his [[Humongous Mecha]]. When they found one place, Boss was pretty angry it was nothing but a rundown shack with one wall crumbled and holes on the roof. ''[[~~UFO Robo Grendizer (Anime)\|~~UFO Robo Grendizer]]'': The Space Science Laboratory was the base of the heroes. The Vegans [[Home Base]] was a [[Space Base]] located on the Moon. ''[[~~Kotetsu Jeeg (Anime)\|~~Kotetsu Jeeg]]'': The Build Base, although Hiroshi and his family lived in another place. ''[[Combattler V]]'': The Nanbara Connection was located by the coast and was protected by a [[Beehive Barrier]]. ** ''[[Voltes V]]'': The Camp Big Falcon was located on a penninsula -so it nearly was a full-fledged [[Island Base]]- shaped like a bird of prey with its wings spread out. The base also doubled like {{spoiler\|[[The Battlestar]].}} Line 67 ⟶ 63: * Most superheroes or teams have (at least) one of these, though most, like [[Batman]], opt for an [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: The Watchtower in ''[[Justice League]]'' Happy Harbor, Maine, in ''[[Young Justice (~~Comic Book~~comics)\|Young Justice]]'' * This was actually the Justice League's original base. Avengers Mansion in ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)\|The Avengers]]'' Line 77 ⟶ 73: == Fan Works == * Grunnel's house serves as one for part of the story in ''[[~~With Strings Attached (Fanfic)\|~~With Strings Attached]]''. However, after the four return with the third piece of the Vasyn, they discover the other two pieces missing and the house empty of nearly everything—so much for that [[Home Base]]. == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 84 ⟶ 80: == [[Newspaper Comics]] == * The Skull Cave for [[The Phantom (~~Comic~~comic ~~Strip~~strip)\|The Phantom]]. * Xanadu for [[Mandrake the Magician]] Line 95 ⟶ 91: == [[Web Comics]] == * In ''[[Blue Yonder]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20150920163350/http://www.blueyondercomic.net/comics/1252606/blue-yonder-chapter-1-page-21/ Claremont Apartment complex.] It's just a complex that happens to have a lot of retired capes in it. == [[Western Animation]] == * Professor Utonium's home in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. * The Planet Express offices in ''[[~~Futurama (Animation)\|~~Futurama]]''. * [[Space Ghost]] has a whole Ghost Planet! * Castle Grayskull for [[He-Man and ~~The~~the Masters of ~~The Universe (Animation)\|He-Man and The Masters of The~~the Universe]]. * The crashed Ark spaceship in ''The [[Transformers]].' * The basement of the ''Silver Dragon'' restaurant in ''[[WITCH (~~Animation~~animation)\|WITCH]]''. {{reflist}} [[Category:Settings]] [[Category:~~The Utterly and Completely Definitive Guide To Cool~~Index]] ~~[[Category:index]]~~ [[Category:Home Base]] [[Category:~~Trope~~The Utterly and Completely Definitive Guide to Cool]]
