The name or term "Big Daddy" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Big Daddy (disambiguation).
Big Daddy is an Autobot from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family
He's your daddy.

More concerned about his paint job, Big Daddy isn't particularly interested in the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Nah, he'd rather be at a local drag or the nearby beach. Whenever Big Daddy feels like traveling, he goes slow, so that humans can appreciate his awesome colors. He and his posse stay out of the Autobots' way, and the Autobots stay out of theirs.[1]

Fiction

[edit]

IDW movie comics

[edit]
Prime took Jazz to Earth with him instead, because Big Daddy is just too cool.

After the alien invasion that was a precursor to the Transformers' civil war, Big Daddy was among a handful of Autobots who assisted Optimus in assessing damage. Defiance #2

Some time later, Big Daddy joined the crowd of Autobots and Decepticons in witnessing the activation of Starscream's AllSpark. What happened to him after the battle that broke out is unknown. The Reign of Starscream #5

Toys

[edit]

Transformers (2007)

[edit]
Will somebody get the kid a Happy Meal?
  • Big Daddy (Deluxe Class, 2008)
  • Accessories: Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles, Autobot Cybertron-style Cyber Key
  • Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist)
A Walmart exclusive, Transformers: AllSpark Power Big Daddy is a redeco of Cybertron Downshift, transforming into a muscle car that combines elements from various 1970s era muscle and pony cars, and with an orange and black color scheme as an homage to the Generation 1 Micromaster of the same name.
In either mode, inserting a Cyber Key into a flip-up slot in his rear window springs open a claw from the car's grill. He comes with two large spring-loaded missile launchers, which can peg via 5 mm post on his vehicle side-panels/robot legs, or mount on his shoulders via clips. He comes with a clear-red Cybertron-style Cyber Key.
This mold suffers from a design flaw: Even though his head has a swivel joint, it's rendered useless because the ridges on his chest (the air vents in vehicle mode) get in the way in both directions.
In New Zealand, this toy was exclusive to The Warehouse.
This toy was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Big Daddy. Fifteen years later, the Earth Wars video game would depict his original namesake in this body.

Notes

[edit]
  • Big Daddy exists because Joe Kyde is awesome.[2] Of course, he was originally designed for the 2008 Universe toyline as a new version of his Generation 1 counterpart.[3]
  • Big Daddy's toy bio talks about how he takes care that his chrome won't be damaged, yet the toy itself does not actually have chromed parts. How ironic, Megatron!
  • Big Daddy's card-art ignores the clear plastic "ears" on his head.
