What do the different colored bases mean?

[Papabees]

Hey! I have a slew of these miniatures that I think I'm going to sort through and part with but I wanted some info on what the different colored bases mean. Any help would be appreciated?

Assuming that they're anything like the more modern Heroclix, the non-black bases are the special "chase₁"pieces of a set.

It could also be special team bases for enemy or ally characters. In that case, the color of the base indicates which pairing they go with.


₁The "chase"piece being extremely rare, but not more powerful

Base colour is an indication of rarity.  Pre-AoD grey bases were unique prize support pieces.  Post-Aod Silver bases replaced the Grey and could be pulled in boosters, I believe.  Gold Bases were the prize support and were sometimes the same units as the silver bases though not always.  Red bases were the chase figure, one per set from AoD through Wolf Strike (maybe just Vanguard).  Blue Bases were special figures for a membership club whose name escapes me now.  There were four of those.

OK. Thanks for the help. Looks like I have about a dozen or so. Hopefully I can make a bit.

Blue are Officer's Club except for the Atlas "Solitude" for Jonah Levin, which was a convention exclusive, I believe.
