6991 Monorail Transport Base is the largest Unitron set released. It is one of 3 monorail sets, the others being from City and Futuron.
Description
The Monorail Transport Base was part of the Unitron space sub-theme released in 1994. It was the last Monorail released by the LEGO group, and also the largest. It is the only monorail in which the modules can be removed and placed on other unitron sets. There are also accessory monorail tracks which can be added to make larger routes. The set comes with multiple baseplates, allowing the set to serve as a connection between two Unitron bases. The two bases each are built differently. The first one, where the monorail ends/begins, has the monorail track placed high-up and has a raised level below it. On it's base is another beginning/end to the track, and, interestingly, there is a Spyrius droid on it. The second "base", contains a larger building on a raised Baseplate.
