Sometimes, a character's theme goes beyond wearing his underwear on the outside. These are vehicles that follow a costumed character's theme; they may resemble the costume, or extend the idea behind the character. Regardless, these conveyances are recognizably a part of the individual's leitmotif (not to mention the show's merchandising campaign).
This trope doesn't necessarily include ''iconic'' vehicles. While the X-Men's Blackbird is identifiable by fans, it doesn't continue their visual theme, and it wouldn't be recognized by someone who wasn't familiar with it. A good determiner is to ask yourself, "If I saw this for the first time on the street, how likely would I be to identify it as belonging to <character>?"
If the vehicle stands out from being at least some decades old in the setting, it is the Hero's Classic Car. Ordinary vehicles (and even race vehicles) with cartoon characters slapped on their bodies have their own variant, Itasha.
Most of the time a Cool Car, particularly a Pimped-Out Car; if the character isn't supposed to be particularly enthusiastic about cars, or fabulously wealthy, or have specialized transportation needs it counts as an Improbably Cool Car. For a specific type of Thememobile, see Faceship. Not to be confused with the Pope Mobile, although it is an example of this trope. May overlap with Signature Team Transport, Absurdly-Long Limousine or (if there are no performance upgrades at all) Rice Burner. Compare Vehicle-Based Characterization, where the vehicle reflects the character's personality or characterization without necessarily resembling their outward theme.
Most of the toyetic live-action 1960s Trope Makers were customized by George Barris, the only leading Southern California-based customizer/showrod builder willing to work to Hollywood's hurry-up-and-wait production schedule more than once.
For the grammatical construction associated with this, see Hyperaffixation.
Due to The Problem with Pen Island, this trope can either be pronounced "theme-mobile" or "the me-mobile." Make of that what you will.

Batman: Arkham Asylum begins with Batman taking the Joker to Arkham in the Batmobile. Foreseeing Bane continuing to attack him, Batman has the car ram Bane off the island. The Bat-Wing later appears to drop off the the Line Launcher, and in the end Batman uses it for a The Adventure Continues ending.

Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) infamously gave Spider-Man a Spider-Cycle, despite the hero being able to crawl up walls and swing by using his webbing. In-universe, Nick Fury justifies the vehicle's existence by claiming that it's faster and more efficient than web-swinging, and saves tons of valuable web fluid.

Batman: Arkham Knight finally allows players to actually drive the Batmobile, which now has a tank mode. The Batwing returns as well being used several times to provide upgrades to the Batmobile. It's also used to carry the Batmobile twice, once at the end of the Mr. Freeze DLC sidequest, and again near the end of the main story, when the original Batmobile is destroyed and a new one is delivered to save Batman when he is surrounded by Militia tanks. Another DLC sidequest has Batman use the Batwing to carry an incapacitated Killer Croc from a Prison Airship to the GCPD Lockup. Around halfway through the main story, the Batwing is also used to scan for the Cloudburst device and can be seen flying around the city.
Played for laughs later on, to add a little levity to a dramatic event. After Batman's secret identity is exposed to the population of Gotham, three thugs had much snark about it.
The Riddler also boasts as to having the "Riddlermobile". It's bigger, faster, more aesthetically pleasing...it's in the shop. One of the skins for the Batmobile actually is the Riddlermobile, which turns out to just be the Batmobile with a bunch a green question marks on it.

The Simpsons:
Homer suggests the family get "to the Simpsonmobile!" to rescue Selma from Sideshow Bob. It is actually their car.
There is also the episode where Homer salvaged the remains of a sugar truck and the massive pile of sugar attracts every bee in Springfield. When the beekeepers notice this, one proclaims, "To the beemobile!" to which his colleague asks, "You mean your Chevy?". After a beat, he responds "yes" in deadpan.

In their "Demolition Derby Special", they had the Mythbus. Which was destroyed when it tipped over at the end of testing a bus-related myth.
They had Earl the Cadillac for a while. Then they dropped it from a crane, because they had promised to destroy it when it was donated to them.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had the Turtlevan (called the Party Wagon in the toy line), Turtle Blimp, and probably more.
The noughties series featured the Battle Shell, which was basically the Turtlevan with a Darker and Edgier name and appearance.
In the futuristic Fast Forward season the Hover Shell was a Battle Shell that could fly as well as eject the cockpit as its own ground vehicle.
Also the Cheapskates, basically motorized skateboards built by Donatello.

Justice League features The Flashmobile, which is actually just a pimped-out van he bought with endorsement money he made appearing in commercials. As Green Lantern points out, it's completely ridiculous. Somewhat justified, though, considering its real purpose isn't getting around... at least not in that sense...

Batman: Arkham Series naturally supplies various Batman examples.
Batman: Arkham Asylum begins with Batman taking the Joker to Arkham in the Batmobile. Foreseeing Bane continuing to attack him, Batman has the car ram Bane off the island. The Bat-Wing later appears to drop off the the Line Launcher, and in the end Batman uses it for a The Adventure Continues ending.
Batman: Arkham City: The Bat-Wing briefly returns to once again do an equipment drop, in this case the Grapnel Boost.
Batman: Arkham Origins features an early version of the Bat-Wing. The Batmobile meanwhile apparently hasn't been built yet, but a few pieces of are in the cave, indicating that they've started construction on it.
Batman: Arkham Knight finally allows players to actually drive the Batmobile, which now has a tank mode. The Batwing returns as well being used several times to provide upgrades to the Batmobile. It's also used to carry the Batmobile twice, once at the end of the Mr. Freeze DLC sidequest, and again near the end of the main story, when the original Batmobile is destroyed and a new one is delivered to save Batman when he is surrounded by Militia tanks.

Over time, many other WWE stars would have a trademark vehicle that they'd drive down to the arena. From Eddie Guerrero's low riders up until Alberto Del Rio coming out in a random extremely expensive car, not to mention the dozen or so wrestlers who had ridden a motorcycle down to the ring. The ones that were consistent each time included JBL's white limo, complete with Texas longhorns on the hood and a license plate that had JBL's logo on it, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's ATV that he rode around as Sheriff of RAW, adorned with cute little "3:16" flags, and Chavo Guerrero Jr. as Kerwin White had what was nicknamed by fans as "The Whitemobile", a plain white golf cart with his initials on the front.

SWAT Kats: The Turbokat is at least as well known as the flight suits for the Swat Kats. The other bigger vehicles (the Turbomole, the Hoverkat, and the unnamed amphibious sub/tank used for a short time in one episode) all had the same basic paint scheme, as did the jet skis. The other smaller vehicles (The Cyclotron and Sandkat) had the same color scheme as their flight suits. All of them qualify.

A tie-in toy to Batman Forever was a base piece with included attachments that allowed you to turn it into the Batmobile, Batboat, or Bat-Wing. Probably unintentionally, the base piece allowed you to more or less recreate the Batsub from the same film.

Darkwing Duck has his plane, the Thunderquack, and his bike (with sidecar), the Ratcatcher, both very duck-themed and keeping with his overall color scheme. Note that the Thunderquack is in-universe Ascended Fanon; Launchpad built it for his favorite hero before even meeting him. After all of these get scavenged for recycling materials by Gosalyn, Darkwing proclaims "To the Quackcycle!", which turns out to be a regular tricycle with a goofy name.

Nemesis the Warlock has a spacecraft called a Blitzspear that looks just like his head... or rather, a head that looks like his vehicle. Yes, the artist had already designed the vehicle when he got down to thinking what the Warlock's face should look like. A later issue informs us that it's actually a Living Ship, a species of Giant Flyers that young males of his race must capture and forcibly domesticate as a Rite of Passage before they're given extensive Bio-Augmentation to make them spaceworthy. Nemesis is that sort of comic.

Parodied on one occasion in The Fairly Oddparents, when the Sandman (played by Jackie Mason!) declares "Quick, to the Mattress-mobile!" Cut to a rickety-looking delivery truck. "This is the Mattress-mobile?" "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. And your truck is where?"
Another episode had Timmy's dad declare "Quick, to the Turnermobile!" (his 70s wood-paneled station wagon) as he prepared to enter a beauty pageant.

Torchwood has cars with their logo on the side, especially notable as they're supposed to be a secret organisation. The organization itself is not secret, more or less the entire population of Cardiff knows they exist, but only the highest-ranking government officials actually know what they do. Or at least that's how it's supposed to work.

Englishman has the Bentmobile (a Bentley whose name is purely Innocent Innuendo, as Englishman is unaware of the negative connotations) and in an earlier episode the "Helicoptermobile".

Parodied in Freakazoid! with the Freakmobile. Freakazoid stated outright that it only existed for merchandising, despite the fact that he had superspeed and clearly did not need it. One episode even had toy executives insisting that he use the Freakmobile for a car chase when he was keeping up just fine on foot.

Kamen Rider Drive is a particularly noteworthy example because he's the only Rider to use a car instead of a motorcyclenote his predecessor Kamen Rider BLACK RX had one of each. His car, the Tridoron, fits the trope well by being able to change forms in order to mimic Drive's three primary modes: the race car-inspired Type Speed (its primary form), the truck-like Type Wild, and the power loader-esque Type Technic. Drive's Super Mode, Type Tridoron, actually has the car transform into armor and merge onto his body.

WWE's resident Superhero, The Hurricane, has his Hurri-cycle.
Over time, many other WWE stars would have a trademark vehicle that they'd drive down to the arena. From Eddie Guerrero's low riders up until Alberto Del Rio coming out in a random extremely expensive car, not to mention the dozen or so wrestlers who had ridden a motorcycle down to the ring. The ones that were consistent each time included JBL's white limo, complete with Texas longhorns on the hood and a license plate that had JBL's logo on it, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's ATV that he rode around as Sheriff of RAW, adorned with cute little "3:16" flags, and Chavo Guerrero Jr. as Kerwin White had what was nicknamed by fans as "The Whitemobile", a plain white golf cart with his initials on the front.

The Dark Knight Trilogy follows suit with its own Bat vehicles.
Batman Begins introduces The Tumbler as the Batmobile. In this case, it is only referred to as The Tumbler.
The Dark Knight: Incidentally, the Lamborghini that Bruce drives in the middle of the day is a subtle in-joke. The particular model of Lamborghini is the Murcielago. Guess what "murcielago" translates to in English? the bat
The Dark Knight also has the Batpod, which is actually the front part of the Tumbler, ejected from the main body when its critically damaged.
The Dark Knight Rises sees a flying version of the Tumbler, similar to the Bat-Wing. This one is simply called 'The Bat'.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998)
An episode has the team trying alternate identities, and Blossom becomes a Captain America wannabe with a patriotic themed car — which promptly gets stuck in a traffic jam on the way to a rescue.
Later episodes featured the Powerpuff Dynamo, a Humongous Mecha that looked like a giant Powerpuff Girl with aspects of all three. It was more trouble than it was worth.

The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers has his own truck, termed the "Creepermobile" by fans. It looks like The Alleged Car with an unusual vanity plate (BEATNGU), but it's fast, and the third movie confirms that it's a Weaponized Car full of booby traps. He mostly uses it to run people off the road, using the smell of their fear to track them later at his leisure.

Batman has many such vehicles that follow the bat theme. An interesting note about all of these is that Batman doesn't necessarily always call any of them by their "bat-names" in present-day comics, usually just saying "The Car". When he does call them by the Batnames, it's likely that the ridiculousness of this will be lampshaded by saying somebody like Robin, Alfred or a member of the Justice League came up with the name.
The Batmobile, in its many variations.
The Batplane or (for "flying wing" versions) Batwing: fixed-wing aircraft.
The Batcopter: rotary-wing aircraft.
The Whirly-Bat: also a rotary-wing aircraft, but unlike the Batcopter, a very small one-man (or maybe two) vehicle that can fit in the trunk of the Batmobile if necessary.
The Batboat.
The Bat-Submersible or Batsub.
The Batglider. Yes, there's a Batglider.
In some versions, there's even a Batmech.
Perhaps most damnably of all, the Silver Age Bat Train. And in the 90s, possibly intended as a more serious reimagining, the Batsubway Rocket, made to travel through Gotham's abandoned Underground railways.

Kamen Riders, as the second part of their name implies, have some sort of mount, most often a motorcycle. The Heisei era went to greater lengths to make the bikes more visually similar to the Riders, with some even having various forms to correspond.
Taken to the extreme with Kamen Rider Accel, Kamen Rider Lazer and Kamen Rider Vice, who can actually turn into bikes! (Hoverbike in Vice's case) Incidentally, Accel also owns a "normal" motorcycle that could easily serve as a Thememobile, but is disqualified due to the fact that he only uses it when he's in civilian form.
Kamen Rider Drive is a particularly noteworthy example because he's the only Rider to use a car instead of a motorcyclenote his predecessor Kamen Rider BLACK RX had one of each. His car, the Tridoron, fits the trope well by being able to change forms in order to mimic Drive's three primary modes: the race car-inspired Type Speed (its primary form), the truck-like Type Wild, and the power loader-esque Type Technic.

Most superheroes in the Disney Mouse and Duck Comics have their themed vehicles (the exception is Super Goof, who is a Flying Brick), though they rarely use such names:
Paperinik has the 313-X, his car in his secret identity as Donald Duck with gadgets made by Gyro that include, among other things, a device for flying and one to change the color to black. Given that Donald built the car himself starting from a (fictional) 1934 Belchfire Runabout how he actually gets away with it remained unknown (and in one early Paperinik story the police actually confiscated the car to check for Paperinik's gadgets)-up until Donald used a chance occasion to claim he and Paperinik just have nearly identical-looking cars and sometimes switch them around to install non-superhero gadgets.
In Paperinik New Adventures the 313-X gets wrecked, so Paperinik, who has moved his hideout in the Ducklair Tower with permission from Ducklair's artificial intelligence's One, starts borrowing some of Ducklair's inventions after repainting them red and adding a stylized "Pk", resulting in the Pkar, the Pk-Jet, and even a one-shot Pk-Power Armor.
Paperinika (AKA Daisy) uses an unnamed motorbike, itself equipped with various gadgets.
Spoofed with the Red Bat, who, befitting his real identity as Fethry Duck, include a Batcar, a Batplane with actual flapping wings, a Batbike (that he has trouble riding due the batwing-like decorations near the saddle hitting him every time he tries to jump on it), a Batscooter (an actual kick scooter with bat decorations and no gadgets), and a Batpogo (stick)-and he seems to favor the pogo stick.
Fantomallard the Gentleman Thief, active in the 1920s, had a number of "phantom" vehicles more advanced than then-current technology. They include the "Mysterious Fantomallard", a high-powered car with James Bond-like gadgets bearing a notable resemblance with the Duesenberg Model J (though it was first seen in 1920, eight years before the Duesenberg car hit the market), its prototype, an armored car that Donald would nickname "mobile tank" after seeing a drawing on Fantomallard's journal, and the Fantomarine, a submersible vehicle capable of unlimited submerged operations (for perspective, the first submarine with a similar ability would be the U-58, fitted with an experimental snorkel to use the diesel engines underwater in 1943).

Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce, FAB 1, in Thunderbirds — a bright pink limousine, heavily customised and upgraded, featuring bullet-proof armour, machine guns, smokescreen, oil slick and hydrofoils. For a secret agent, Penelope isn't exactly discreet in her choice of transport.

Batman Returns had a slightly different Batmobile and the unusual Bat Jetsleigh. The Penguin rode in a car/boat combo that was a giant yellow duck, presumably to reflect his Psychopathic Manchild personality.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing has Sonic's blue carnote officially called the "Speed Star". While the fastest thing alive using a car feels much like The Flash example, Word of God says that he uses it out of sportsmanship in order to have a fair race. LEGO Dimensions also has him say that it's for letting him rest his feet. Other characters like Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Shadow also have their own Thememobiles that they use themselves when racing. You could also count the Eggmobile as this for Eggman, too.

Code Geass:
They don't call them ZeroFrames, but Zero has had three Knightmares whose colour schemes were made to fit his theme, and when Suzaku becomes the Knight Of Zero, siding with Lelouch, the Lancelot was promptly given a makeover.
Only the first Knightmare Frame Zero used was repainted from base colours, since it was a custom version of a generic model. Zero's Burai was given a dark purple, and fitted with a set of golden oni horns.
In a slightly closer example, the Shinkiro was in the correct colours, and it's model number was "Type-0". This is after the completion of Type-1 through to Type-5, so this is a clear attempt to reference this trope.
While the Lancelot was given a makeover, the Lancelot Albion was in the same colours as it always way. The rebuilt Lancelot, however, got a horrible pink colour scheme to go with it's new pilot, C.C. Just seeing it was enough to make viewers stare.
When Suzaku actually becomes Zero at the end of the series however, the Lancelot Albion is actually is repainted (technically rebuilt as the original was totaled but it's basically the exact same machine) in "Zero's" color scheme and renamed the Lancelot Albion Zero. Although Suzaku decides it's overkill in Zero's new role for peace and stores it away, he replaces with the Mahoroba which is similar to the Shinkiro in design (but equipped with swords and arm shields and more capable of Suzaku's style of close range combat) and still in the usual color scheme of Zero Knightmare Frames.
Zero's second Knightmare, the Gawain, fits him just about perfectly: it's painted his personal colors (black, maroon, and gold), has a sinister appearance, can be piloted by two people (allowing his partner C.C. to back up his weak piloting skills), and its flight pack and advanced computer system let it perform excellent recon. The thing is, it wasn't made for him at all, but was just a random Britannian test type. You'd think the researchers would realize that painting a Knightmare black and gold is pretty much a big sign that says "steal me".
In general, a lot of units are painted in a style fitting of their pilot. Kallen's Burai and Glasgow, for the short amount of time she had them, were painted in red. The only red units in the series, I should point out. C.C. went and painted an Akatsuki in pink, and went the extra mile in having a Lancelot painted in pink. Cornelia's Gloucester is painted the same colour as her hair, and has a cape to boot, and the Glaston Knight's wear visors that look like Gloucester masks. It wasn't quite a given, but any unusually painted unit could be narrowed down to one or two pilots.

Everyone in the Twisted Metal franchise has one. The one that's most recognizable, however, is Sweet Tooth, a souped-up ice cream truck with a big flaming clown-head-on-a-spring perched on top, driven by Monster Clown Needles Kane. It even can transform into a mecha called Sweet Bot in some games.

In Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf, all of the Halloween monsters hanging out with Dracula have a race car themed after themselves, with the weird exception of the Werewolf Wagon, which bears no similarity to anything werewolf-related (though one could argue that as a light yellow Beetle, it vaguely resembles a full moon).

Batman & Robin had the most thus far: Batman had a more streamlined, single-seat Batmobile while Robin had his own cycle. Mr. Freeze, meanwhile, had his own tank complete with ice-canon. Batgirl also had her own bat-themed motorcycle. Oh, also, Batman has a Bat-Credit Card. No, really. With an expiration date of "Forever."

The Human Alliance subline introduced for the Transformers Film Series toyline. In this case, the vehicles were normal Transformers and the riders were humans (and Frenzy) who could either sit inside the larger figure's vehicle modes or man weapons on their robot modes. The Dark Of The Moon toyline introduced smaller Human Alliance figures that can also accommodate human riders or become weapons for larger Transformers figures.

Any superhero action figure eventually acquires a vehicle of some sort, whether or not he has one in the source material. So, even though Spider-Man has trouble making his rent, he can still afford his own spider-themed VTOL fighter jet. What?
Rather infamously, a Justice League action figure of The Flash, who can run faster than light, came with a motorcycle.
There was also a Daredevil figure with a motorcycle at some point. Although he has been shown to be capable of driving in emergencies, Daredevil is blind.
There was even a knockoff Naruto figure that came with a motorcycle. Note that no vehicles (outside of the Thunder Rail) appeared in the series.
Jada Toys in 2023 also released figures of Naruto and Kakashi that come with toy cars designed to look like the characters outfits.
Hot Wheels' Character Cars assortment of vehicles gives us cars designed to evoke the characters of whatever franchise Mattel has managed to grab. Examples include DC and Marvel, Star Wars, Power Rangers, Super Mario... even SpongeBob SquarePants gets in on the fun!

The Blues Brothers mention the former Bluesmobile, which was a Cadillac that Elwood traded in for a microphone (a fair trade, we're told). The replacement Bluesmobile seen in the movie was a former police car that at first appears to be The Alleged Car, but endures more abuse than any automobile reasonably should. It also proves to be tire-shreddingly fast, in spite of its appearance. In the sequel, it's revealed that it can go underwater.

Super Sentai / Power Rangers
Besides their mecha / Zords, many teams have motorcycles and the occasional car / flying transport / ATV / mack truck (most of these were added in the PR versions).
For specific examples: Turbo and SPD had relatively normal vehicles, but they visually matched their other equipment and had team logos on them. Ninja Storm's Tsunami Cycles had lightning bolt designs to go with the "storm" theme. Lost Galaxy's Jet Jammers and Time Force's Vector Cycles sported their teams' signature zigzag and arrowhead designs, respectively. Animal-themed teams (of which there are many) often get bikes with what look like heads of the relevant animals mounted on the front. And so on, and so forth.

In Incredibles 2, it's retrieved from a collector and revealed to have been named "the Incredibile". The second movie also gives Elastigirl a custom motorcycle that can split apart in the middle to take advantage of her stretchy powers.

A unique variant of this trope is Superman's Supermobile. Unlike most of these entries, the Supermobile is usually powered by Superman's abilities, not an engine or other technology. He usually uses it when there is something in the environment (red sun rays, Kryptonite, or what have you) that he needs protection from. His Justice Jogger is admittedly a bit more difficult to justify.
An episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold featured Lex Luthor piloting something very similar to the Supermobile, but with his own logo and color scheme.

The Avengers have the Quinjets:
The Quinjets were introduced as small, fast passenger jets that take the heroes where they need to be. The name is an Artifact Title; they were introduced when the team had only five members. The Quinjets not only have since gotten larger to account for the Avengers' expanded roster, they're no longer even jets and in fact are equipped for short-range space travel. For a while, their teammate Hawkeye had his own Sky-Cycle which was soon manufactured into multiple cycles for all non-flying members.
Depending on the Artist, Hawkeye's Sky-Cycle is sometimes the same shade of purple as his costume, and maybe even patterned with "H"s or arrows.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Incidentally, Spike himself, as well as Giles, are other Buffyverse characters with highly distinctive vehicles that seem descriptive of their personalities. They follow the trope, although they don't get that much screentime.
Most notable is Gunn's truck, which has stakes and other vampire slaying weapons attached to it.
Giles' convertible, too. Spike describes it as "A mid-life crisis vehicle — something long, red, and shaped like a penis."

In Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, the demon girls SUV-limousine applies far more than the angels' pink Hummer. It's a ride fitting a pair of insanely powerful Alpha Bitch Action Girls with too much money.

Batman: Arkham Origins features an early version of the Bat-Wing. The Batmobile meanwhile apparently hasn't been built yet, but a few pieces of are in the cave, indicating that they've started construction on it.

Parodied in an episode where Peter shouts "Quick! To the Petercopter!" and rushes to his Peter-shaped helicopter, which crashes on Joe's lawn. He does the same thing later with his zeppelin, the Hinden-Peter.
This trope is used again with even more ridiculous vehicles in subsequent episodes, where Peter rides the Peterdactyl (which crashes into wires and is electrocuted, having Peter to take care of the babies), the Peterang (a giant boomerang that flies around the city and briefly passes by its destination before getting slammed into Peter's house), and even the Megcopter, along with Meg (which works surprisingly well).
An earlier episode had "To the Popemobile", complete with cheesy Adam West music.

Fantastic Four had the Fantasticar, in several variants. In early adventures, the FF had the original "flying bathtub" model, then a second, more streamlined and versatile one that can split into four separate planes, and the Pogo Plane (based on a real aircraft) for longer trips than the Fantasticar could take. All have the team's big 4 logo. The "flying bathtub" is so iconic that it's still associated with the name despite having been retired back in issue #12! The "flying bathtub", like the Spider-Mobile, is in Deadpool's possession now.
There are multiple "bathtub" model Fantasticars out there that have survived the Fantastic Four's post-Secret Wars sabbatical. One key perk Maria Hill used to get Ben Grimm to sign on with SHIELD in 2016 was a classic "bathtub" Fantasticar as his "company" ride.

Played with on Frasier. Frasier wants to be Corkmaster at his wine club (basically the president). Roz pokes fun at this absurd title by treating it like a superhero alias, saying that "If you win, I'd love a ride in the Cork-mobile."

Arguably, Optimus Prime (or any other sufficiently well-known Transformer), but instead of driving his signature vehicle, he transforms into it.
However, the Action Master toyline had non-transforming figures with transformation-capable accessories. Optimus Prime's was a giant, cannon-laden truck called Armored Convoy. What street you're supposed to drive that thing on remains unknown, though it'd be just the right size for Gigantion.

Taken to the extreme with Kamen Rider Accel, Kamen Rider Lazer and Kamen Rider Vice, who can actually turn into bikes! (Hoverbike in Vice's case) Incidentally, Accel also owns a "normal" motorcycle that could easily serve as a Thememobile, but is disqualified due to the fact that he only uses it when he's in civilian form.
