Profile: Hubcap has everybody's friendship but nobody's trust. Hubcap is Affable, witty, generous and charming but deep down a con artist. And many of his fellow Autobot's know it, having been coned a few times themselves! Anything from a getting himself a little extra energeon to swindling his way to be the first to get to try out one of Perceptor's new gizmo's like a prototype laser blaster. Hubcap is living proof of the Cybertronian adage, "you can't tell an Autobot by its finish." Abilities: Hubcap's head module equipment receives AM and FM radio, shortwave, UHF and VHF television signals as weak as 0.000001 watts. Maximum speed of 90 mph with a 1,000 mile range. |

Weaknesses: Hubcap lacks size, strength & firepower so he makes up for it with intellect. While he's often successful, his con jobs are typically much more successful on his more trusting fellow Autobots than Decepticons. Other Appearances: The toy looks so much like Bumblebee,
it's impossible to distinguish them in the cartoons. Did he even appear in
G1 at all?! But he
did make other appearances; re-colored (red like Cliffjumper) as a G2 TF
in 1993 and as a Machine Wars Tow truck. |
