Wow, the sketch has been sitting in my computer for several weeks and I've forgotten all about it! Finally I got this guy up! This is Hubcap who is heavily based off his HFTD toy.

Bio: Hubcap is a few centuries younger than Ratchet and got to fight in the Great War at a young age. The war hadn't done much psychological damage on him, but he grew very tired of it very quickly and settled down with a peaceful life in the suburbs of Iacon as a mechanic. He enjoyed a very laidback lifestyle all these stellarcycles until rumors started spreading about the Decepticons on Earth. When Sentinel Prime was declared acting Magnus, things got rather boring for Hubcap. His favorite spots on Cybertron were closed for safety reasons and the new curfew rules affected his night activities with all his friends. He and his comrades started forming a group of bots to put an end to Sentinel Prime's madness. They started picketing and calling rallies to speak out against the way Sentinel ran things. It didn't last too long for after Ultra Magnus died, he made Optimus Prime his successor and all of Sentinel's unfair laws were lifted from the city and Hubcap enjoyed his life once more. He was very content with how Optimus Magnus handled things with the Cybertronian regime, but a few years later, the Decepticons attacked Cybertron and conquered it. The Autobots fled to Earth and this was where Hubcap made his new home. He really enjoyed the Earth culture, especially the cars that they had there, mainly the old-fashioned one and he ended up scanning an antique muscle car from the 1950s. Although he wanted to put his soldier past behind him, he decided to help the Autobots crack down on Decepticon activity. Lately, there has been a bot who calls himself Brimstone who has been going around bullying and mugging younger Autobots in Detroit. Hubcap swears to go find this old rival of his and set things straight soon.

Personality: Hubcap is a pacifist. He doesn't enjoy war, but he is a protective friend in need. He hates discord and unreasonable fighting and has a habit of teaching bullies a lesson. He seems to have an interest in old-fashioned cars on Earth and enjoys going to car shows in Detroit sometimes. He has a somewhat conservative sense of pride and doesn't enjoy following unusual laws like the ones Sentinel has made. Sentinel has had a strong dislike for Hubcap saying that he "lives in the past" and that "that washed up bucket of bolts wouldn't know order if it hit him on the chassis!" But the thing is, more people have agreed with Hubcap on political views. Even though he avoids politics, he is actually a rather decent role model for it.
Weapons/Abilities: Hubcap is good with martial arts and possesses a kickboxing style of fighting. He's actually rather strong for his size, almost as strong as Optimus Prime is (although as Optimus Magnus, he has gained much more strength now). He has no weapons, except for the small exhaust pipes on his arm gauntlets which shoot little energy blasts. The blasts are weak, but he can also use these weapons as blowtorches for welding. He is a careful thinker and can overcome opponents without doing much fighting in battle to begin with.

So there he is! Hubcap doesn't get enough love and I believe I'm the first person to do this! So please tell me whatcha think!

EDIT: Ok, I guess one of the Bumblebee lookalikes is already named Hubcap! Oh who cares, I like this still!
