  • Japanese ID number: AA-09

The Transformers Hubcap toy was repuposed as Shattered Glass Hubcap.

Hubcap transforms into a hot rod based on a 1930s-style car of indeterminate make, but most closely related to the Willys 77 (with some elements of its successor, the Americar). His feet appear to be based upon the iconic foot design of the Japanese mecha franchise Gundam. Compared to other toys from the live-action film series, his transformation consists of a mere three or four very easy steps.

Like most toys in the 2010 Transformers toyline, Hubcap features a standard Autobot insignia rather than the live-action movie style Autobot insignia.

This mold would also have been used to make Transformers Downshift. This toy was also repurposed as Generation 1 Hubcap in the Transformers Legends mobile game.
