Fiction

The Headmasters cartoon

Voice actor: Makoto Kōsaka (Japanese), Davide Garbolino (Italian)

Pipiro was walking with Koro from his parents' grave in the village of Pan when he met with an old couple, who noted the growing Koro. Once he made it home, Pipiro... played with Koro, despite Alyssa's warning that he would get his clothes dirty. Their play was interrupted by seismic tremors, which had been occurring frequently. Alyssa was worried, but Pipiro wasn't concerned, till the tremors became a full-blown earthquake that climaxed in a volcanic eruption the next morning. Unknown to the villagers, it was caused by the Decepticons. Pipiro, Alyssa, and the donkeys fled their home.

Their path was blocked by a lava flow, but this afforded them a view of the Autobots battling the Decepticons. Pipiro cheered on the Autobots and witnessed Defensor being paralyzed by Mindwipe's weapon and being overwhelmed by the Decepticon Headmasters. Later, as the eruption intensified, Pipiro and Alyssa could only look on as the lava crawled closer to Pan. Broadside attempted to rescue the villagers, but could not withstand the lava erupting from the volcano. The Trainbots were ordered to take up the rescue and they managed to reach the villagers. Chromedome arrived to help, and Pipiro told him to attend to the elderly couple first. Brainstorm got the wandering Koro, and the Trainbots fled before the lava reached them and destroyed the village. Pipiro and Alyssa could do nothing but stare as the lava enveloped Pan.

At the temporary camp set up for the villagers, Pipiro and Koro played with Daniel and Wheelie. The Decepticon Headmasters chose this moment to strike, holding Koro and Pipiro hostage. Their terms are that the Autobot Headmasters disengage from their Transtectors. Dodo saved the day by knocking down Skullcruncher, providing a distraction for the Autobots to attack. While the Decepticons retreated, Alyssa embraced Pipiro in her arms. When the Autobots took their leave, Chromedome told Pipiro to take care of Koro and Alyssa.
