'''Grimstone''' is power-hungry for an Autobot, longing for the privilege great power brings. Despite this, he knows the purpose of power is protecting the weak, and that it brings with it the responsibility to put others first. It's unclear if undergoing the [[Power Core Combination]] process satisfied Grimstone's ambitions, but his new [[Dinobot (PCC)|Dinobots]] have certainly made him strong enough to protect the less fortunate.

===Power Core Combiners===
*'''Grimstone with Dinobots''' (Commander Class, 2010)
:Grimstone transforms into a ''Styracosaurus'' and a torso mode for his four Dinobot drones to combine with. The Dinobots automatically transform from robotic dinosaurs to limbs using [[Automorph Technology]] when clipped onto Grimstone, and when detached, they transform back to beast mode. Like all Commanders, Grimstone is also compatible with [[Mini-Con]]s.

==Notes==
* Grimstone's boxart misidentifies him as a ''Triceratops'' instead of a ''Styracosaurus''.
* His boxart also misidentifies one of the drones as a ''Spinosaurus'' when it is in fact a ''Dimetrodon''.
* All of Grimstone's promotional photography depicts an additional joint that allows his nose to slide upwards in his super robot mode. This was not present in the final figure.[[Category:Dinobots]]

'''Hubcap''' has a long rivalry with [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]], one that Brimstone is all too aware of. Hubcap disapproves of the way Brimstone bullies others, and the Autobots' efforts to counter Brimstone have resulted in several battles. Now that they're on Earth, Hubcap, who considers himself the new "king of the road," has decided to end Brimstone's behavior once and for all.

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazines===

Hubcap and [[Slap Dash]] were summoned to Earth by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime himself]] to join a new, covert unit (not even admitting its function to ''[[NEST]]'') led by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. As open battles were turning humans against the Transformers, Prime wanted to them to monitor the Decepticons, wait for windows of opportunity out of the public eye, and then hit hard and fast.

Both agreed to this, but when [[Crankstart]], [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]], and [[Trenchmouth]] ran amok in [[Utah|Salt Lake City]], they had second thoughts: Hubcap wanted to take action, upset at letting the Decepticons cause such havok and viewing it as being out of control. Bumblebee had him stick to the plan though, and the unit hit the Decepticons in an isolated stretch of road, tearing through them; Hubcap personally blew Trenchmouth off the road. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.18|Shadow War}}

*'''Hubcap''' (Scout Class, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-09'''

:Hubcap transforms into a hot rod based on a 1930s-style car of indeterminate make, but most closely related to the Willys 77 (with some elements of its successor, the Americar). His feet appear to be based upon the iconic foot design of the Japanese mecha franchise ''[[Wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]]''. Compared to other toys from the [[live-action film series]], his transformation consists of a mere three or four very easy steps.

:Like most toys in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], Hubcap features a standard Autobot [[insignia]] rather than the live-action movie style Autobot insigna.

==Notes==
* He is seemingly an homage to the Generation 2 Mini-Vehicle [[Hubcap (G1)| of the same name]].
