Cab

From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

This article is about the Japanese Headmaster Junior. For the American Headmaster who has an identical body, see Hosehead.

Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images. Specifics: New main pic, fiction as that gets filled

Cab is a human and Autobot Headmaster Junior from the Masterforce portion of Generation 1 continuity family.

Cab (キャブ Kyabu) is the Prince of the Republic of Karin. Growing up in a treehouse in the jungle, joining the Autobots and entering their techno-crazy world was a bit of a culture shock. Though he somehow knows how to drive, Cab still acts like he's in the jungle and just doesn't play well with others.

English-Malay dub name: Hosehead

Voice actor: Hiroko Emori (Japanese)

A little princeling who seems decidedly irreverent to his elders and has the incredible ability to talk to animals. Amazingly, he goes gaga over a watch but takes 30-foot-tall robots and monsters in stride. He comes back to Japan with Shuta and Mr Hawk, where he joins the international school. A friendship with the Autobots leads to him joining the Headmaster Juniors.

I want to tell you about the Transformers! This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki by expanding it.

• Carb [sic] (Headmaster Junior, 1988)
  • Japanese ID number: C-302
  • Accessories: "Cab" transtector vehicle, seat/helmet, left & right helmet guns, rifle

"Carb"'s transtector is a red firetruck. The area between the cabin and the rear of the truck has a seat that Headmaster Cab can sit on, but he can also be stowed inside the cabin itself (this method isn't as secure, however). The ladder base has a ratcheted joint, allowing it to rotate, while the ladder itself can extend out to 22cm in length and also has a movable compound nozzle. His head guns can be stored on the sides of the vehicle while his rifle can be plugged onto the ladder.

In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, Cab's transtector has a flip-down panel on his chest which covers a spring-loaded mini-Tech-Spec-meter which gives reads for Speed, Strength and Intelligence. The tumblers are activated when Cab (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. Cab has the transtector's face plainly visible on his back because, as a smaller Headmaster toy, he lacks the flip down panel featured on larger Headmasters.

He shares a mold with the American Headmaster Hosehead, with little or no changes.
