”Wunderwaffe! Oh how I missed you!”
Biff Tannen is a human from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Biff Tannen looks like nothing more than a typical no-good, rotten bully. He's terrorised his home town of Hill Valley since his youth and made the lives of Marty McFly and his family miserable. Yet in reality, he's much worse than the average boorish jock. A total lack of moral fibre and a knack for ruthless selfishness means there's no low he won't sink to, and no insane circumstance he won't stick his nose into if he decides he might be able to get something he wants. This opportunistic streak has led to him meddling in Marty and Doc Brown's time-traveling adventures. Unfortunately for him, he's not immune to being pushed around by anyone who's even bigger and nastier than he is...

Fiction

Transformers/Back to the Future

[edit]

In the year 1974, Biff witnessed Rumble arrive in the DeLorean time machine from the year 2015. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Biff was promptly enslaved by Rumble and spent ten long years making energon cubes. When 1984 rolled around, Biff followed Rumble to Mount St. Hilary and into the Ark. After Rumble programmed the ship to revive only the Decepticons, Megatron, deciding that he had no need for two Rumbles, executed Biff's enslaver. Transformers/Back to the Future #2 With no meaningful opposition, the Decepticons were quick to conquer Earth, Biff becoming the Coordinator of the Hill Valley work camp.

A year later, in 1985, Starscream was sent to Hill Valley to inspect it falling behind on its quotas. Biff begged the Air Commander for more time before Marty McFly distracted Starscream. Transformers/Back to the Future #1

In 2015, when Scrapper was found smouldering, the other Constructicons decided to blame Biff. Before a pleading Biff could be crushed by Bonecrusher, the bulldozer was disabled by Doc Brown's alpha-wave ionic nullifier. Seeing a chance to redeem himself, Biff played along with Brown and the McFlys' attempts to contact the Autobots until he managed to disable the communications tower with the nullifier, contacting Hook. Given an exosuit for his services, Biff indulged in one last malapropism before Marty and the Autobots arrived. Though Biff hoped to disable Gigawatt with the nullifer, the weapon was knocked out of his hands and into Marty's, who promptly sent Biff falling into a waste bin. Transformers/Back to the Future #3

When Marty and Gigawatt travelled back to 1984, Biff reasoned that if a loser like Marty could stand up to Rumble, then so he could he. That was when the nullifer ran out of charge and Rumble broke into the Ark. As Biff despaired, Marty revealed that the Autobots were already awake, having Biff dump his bounty of energon cubes onto Rumble. After Marty took the genuine DeLorean back to 2015, Biff was left in the company of the Autobots, becoming their local guide and mechanic over the next thirty years.
