After the quantum surge caused a time vortex, Autobots Pipes and Huffer were fused into Puffer, and alongside GoBot Road Ranger, were pulled to prehistoric Earth.[1] Despite their rather bizarre origin, they can still tussle with the best of them.

Notes

  • Puffer is based on a European variant of the "Generation 1" Pipes toy, which was the original Huffer toy in Pipes's colors; "Puffer" originated as a fan nickname for the figure (a portmanteau of Pipes and Huffer, you see). The name was also used for the similarly colored IGA Pipes toy.
