	: We say "probably" because while IGA appears to have done this old-mold-new-colors-sold-as-new-character move with all of the third-year retooled [[Mini Vehicle]]s, so far [[Tailgate (G1)#IGA\|Tailgate]] is the only ~~one~~ that ~~has~~ been confirmed with carded samples. All of the IGA versions of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA\|Hubcap]], [[Outback (G1)#IGA\|Outback]], Pipes~~, and [[Swerve (G1)#IGA\|Swerve]]~~ have only been found loose. So it's highly likely, we just don't have mint condition proof yet.

	:''[[~~The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers~~]]'' ~~Pipes is~~ a ~~blue extensive~~ [[~~retool~~]] of ~~the [[1984]] Autobot Mini Vehicle~~ [[Huffer (G1)#Toys\|Huffer]]~~. Like Huffer~~, Pipes transforms into an "American truck," which is supposed to be either a terminal tractor (also called a "yard truck," a "mule" and several other things) or a single-axle semi truck of indeterminate, probably made-up model. He is changed quite a lot; his front is Huffer's back and vice-versa, and his cab transforms differently. Whereas Huffer simply moves the truck cab up to reveal his head and then flips over the smokestacks for arms, Pipes ~~flips the cab over, repositioning it behind his head instead of shelling it like a hood, and his arms just pull out from their truck position. Amusingly, the tabs that hold the truck cab~~ in ~~place~~, ~~sticking out of his [[~~robot ~~mode]] chest, are detailed to look like seats. The grille, headlamp and bumper detailing on the front of his cab has also changed~~, and ~~the tips of his smokestacks are cylindrical rather than flattened~~-~~out like Huffer's claw~~-~~hand-things~~.		: In the Mexican ''Transformers'' line produced by [[IGA]], Pipes was ''probably'' released as a straight [[redeco]] of [[Huffer (G1)#Toys\|Huffer]], sold on Pipes cards. Pipes came in two different, but closely-similar color schemes: metallic-blue with white robot parts, and all-over metallic-blue. Fans have given these versions the nickname "Puffer".

	:~~In some~~ [[~~The Transformers~~ (~~European toyline~~)\|~~European~~]] ~~markets and~~ [[IGA\|~~Mexico~~]], ~~the toy released for~~ Pipes ~~was not a remolded Huffer toy~~, ~~but rather a straight~~ [[~~redeco~~]] ~~(with an unaltered transformation) affectionately known amongst fans as "Puffer"~~.		: We say "probably" because while IGA appears to have done this old-mold-new-colors-sold-as-new-character move with all of the third-year retooled [[Mini Vehicle]]s, so far [[Tailgate (G1)#IGA\|Tailgate]] is the only one that has been confirmed with carded samples.
