Hubcap worked as a communications officer on board the Ark. Rodimus Prime first noticed Huffer was missing when he didn't show up for his shift on comms, which forced Rodimus to deal with Hubcap's moping longer than he'd like. Coalescence

The Hunt for the Decepticons Hubcap toy was repurposed as Shattered Glass Hubcap.
- Part of the first wave of Hunt for the Decepticons Scouts, 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 Reveal the Shield Downshift, but that release was cancelled. This toy was also repurposed as Generation 1 Hubcap in the Transformers Legends mobile game.
