			===Name===
			Given that Cab's alt-mode has nothing to do with taxicabs and does not match the Japanese rendition of "cabin" (キャビン ''kyabin''), his name is probably a shortening of "carburetor", as the spelling "Carb" on his toy packaging implies. You see, the Japanese adaptation of "carburetor" (キャブレター ''kyaburetā'') is inexplicably modeled on the vowel sound of "cab" (キャブ ''kyabu'') as opposed to "carb" (カーブ ''kābu''). Consequently, there is no good way to adapt Cab's name back into English.
