Musical Mall Madness
BotBots Mad Libs
The Hunger Hubs were one of the teams of BotBots created at the mall when the energon cloud filled it. At night they got into mischief by squirting condiments at other Botbots. The Beginning of BotBots When Angry Cheese declared herself queen of the food court, she was taunted by S'up Dawg and Hawt Diggity. This lead to a massive messy food fight between all the Hunger Hubs until Twerple Burple chilled them all out. Fast Food Fight
Commercial appearances
Official Digital Commercial
The Greaser Gang held a condiment diving contest between S'up Dawg and Shredder Jack. S'up Dawg maked a perfect mustered cup landing, while Shredder Jack dis a bellyflop. Fottle Barts gives both dives a 10. Meanwhile at the soda dispenser, Duderoni chugs down soda while Twerple Burple hooked her straw to the soda dispenser, spraying it out into Angry Cheese's mouth. Angry Cheese drinks away, bloating so full that soda squirts out of her eyes and head, as Duderoni gives a massive belch . Official Digital Commercial

- Some members of the Greaser Gang were also inexplicably set in the blindpacked portion of the Series 3 "Arcade Renegades" 16-packs.
- While eight members of the Renegades were plainly visible in the windowed portion of the box, eight more Bots were blindpacked inside. Of the six possible blindpacked loadouts, five of them had two more Renegades and four BotBots from Series 1, from the Greaser Gang, Jock Squad and Techie Team; at least one member of the Gang was available in all five of these sets. (The sixth set contained nothing but Arcade Renegades members.)
- Blind Bag Mystery Figures (Single pack, 2022)
- Hunger Hubs (5-pack, 2022)
- Racer-Roni (Vehicle pack, 2023)
- Series: 6
- The squad returned for Series 6, this time renamed the Hunger Hubs, even having a brand-new emblem.
- This time around, its members were primarily found in two "Hunger Hubs"-themed 5-packs, which contained nothing but members of the Hubs (with the exception of a blindpacked Oil Slicks bot in one of them) and the Racer-Roni vehicle pack. The rest came in the single-pack assortment.
Notes
- As revealed in the BotBots Official Sticker Book, the Lost Bots Burgertron and PB Junior were lost from the Greaser Gang's food court.
- Burgertron is shown with the Greaser Gang in the Goldrush Games digital commercial and the BotBots Mad Libs story "Fast Food Fight". While his inclusion in the commercial may have been an animation error due to other irregularities, he is clearly included as a member in "Fast Food Fight" as well as a Hunger Hub in the BotBots cartoon.
- Some members of the Greaser Gang were among the food themed BotBots sacrificed to feed HasLab Unicron during its development.[2]
