| The name or term "Hubcap" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hubcap (disambiguation). |
- Hubcap is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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 was 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
Generation 1 cartoon continuity
Wings Universe
Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.
Hubcap was part of Jhiaxus's Cybertronian clone army. He accompanied his master when he went to Cybertron to issue a final ultimatum to the native resistance and Megaplex. Termination
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, the 2001 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.
