- Big Daddy is an Autobot from the 2007 movie franchise portion of the live-action film series continuity family
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]

Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Big Daddy (Deluxe, 2008)
- A Wal-Mart 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 5mm post on his vehicle side-panels/robot legs, or mount on his shoulders. 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.
It is worth noting that his head is a homage to G1 Wheeljack, like Cybertron Downshift.
- This toy was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Big Daddy.
Notes
- Big Daddy exists because Joe Kyde is awesome.
- He (along with the six other Walmart-exclusive deluxe redecos) was originally designed for the 2008 Universe line, if this Hasbro product listing is any indication.
- His 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!
- His card-art ignores the clear plastic "ears" on his head.
