Big Daddy was a Micromaster Autobot who turned into a hot rod. [1]
[edit] Dreamwave Productions
Big Daddy was among the hundreds of Micromasters created by the Autobots and Decepticons millions of years after the launch of the Ark. While in Little Iacon, he befriended Runner, who later became the Decepticon known as Barricade. Big Daddy, along with the Hot Rod Patrol, were selected to join the Autobots. He and his team helped the Monster Truck Patrol recover Roadbuster, but clashed with his former friends in the Decepticon Race Track Patrol in the battle that ensued. Big Daddy succeeded in evacuating Roadbuster, but team member Crunch was killed in the process.

Big Daddy was one of the Transformers pulled from his timestream to engage in the death-duels of the Cauldron deep inside the shattered Unicron. He escaped this fate in the jail-break set by Trailbreaker and Silverbolt.

In December of 2007 images appeared on the internet of a redeco of Cybertron Downshift done as a homage to Generation 1 Big Daddy. This toy is a Walmart store exclusive. [2]
Big Daddy is very vain about both his chrome and his paint and likes to show off. [3]
According to Hasbro officials at Botcon 2008 the Walmart exclusive redeco toys were originally to be sold under the Transformers: Universe label, but Walmart requested it's exclusives be part of the movie toy line, so they were repackage in movie style packaging.
