Hubcap is kind of creepy. He removes the bodies of deactivated Decepticons 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.
Fiction
TransTech
Hubcap is one of the countless "offworlder" residents of Axiom Nexus. He had a brief encounter with an alternate-universe namesake who was looking for some help, who found him to be really creepy. Gone Too Far
Machine Wars Hubcap is never explicitly named in the story, just mentioned as having had the same name as Generation 1 Hubcap.
Toys
Machine Wars
- Hubcap (Basic, 1997)
- Accessories: Grill-blaster
- Hubcap, like the rest of the Machine Wars line, was a KB Toys exclusive. He transforms into a yellow tow truck with one-step spring-loaded transformation to robot mode. The grille of the truck separates to become a hand-held blaster. He and the other Basic-sized Machine Wars molds were originally designed for the Generation 2 line, but were scrapped when the franchise moved over to Beast Wars.
- The same mold is used by Machine Wars Hoist, Robots in Disguise Tow-Line and Wrecker Hook.
Notes
- Hubcap and Hoist are unique among the Machine Wars line in that they have original card artwork, rather than altered artwork from previous toys.
