	'''Hubcap''' is kind of creepy. He removes the bodies of deactivated [[Decepticon]]s from the field after battles. After he takes the remains to the Autobot base, he salvages what he can for spare parts. He will often recycle the rest, but is known to use Decepticon scrap for target practice. It's pretty gruesome, really.		'''Hubcap''' is kind of creepy. He removes the bodies of deactivated [[Decepticon]]s from the field after battles.

	Hubcap stood next to Jhiaxus during the latter’s Cybertronian invasion. When he received word that Obsidian and Strika had cleverly corralled the bulk of their forces in Iacon, he suggested to Jhiaxus that they consult [[Prowl (MW)\|Prowl]] on the matter. When a team of ~~Decepticon~~ managed to sneak behind enemy lines and ambush Jhiaxus, Hubcap held Nacelle at gunpoint, commenting that his corpse would make for a splendid colonnade. He was ordered to stand down by Jhiaxus when the Cybertronian leader realized he had already accomplished his task of uniting Cybertron. Jhiaxus was shortly thereafter murdered by Megaplex, and Hubcap dragged his leader’s corpse away, commenting on how his chassis would make for magnificent architecture. {{storylink\|A Common Foe}}		Hubcap stood next to Jhiaxus during the latter’s Cybertronian invasion.
