The Countdown toy is the largest Micromaster toy ever produced. It consists of three distinct parts: A mobile rocket launching base, a rocket, and the Countdown figure itself, which transforms to a lunar rover. Countdown is the only lunar rover in the entire Generation 1 toyline, although there have been more lunar rovers in later toylines.
Countdown himself is characterised as adventurous and heroic, travelling the universe to protect the innocent. Countdown's arch-enemy is the sadistic Decepticon Skystalker, whose space shuttle is the second-largest Micromaster toy ever produced.
According to Takara's biography for Moon Raider and his Rocket Base he is the large defensive headquarters of the Cybertron Zone. Can receive an SOS from the entire universe and send out soldiers accordingly.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain and restless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn’t matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
