Pipes (Animated)

This article is about the plumber from Animated. For the warrior from Generation 1, see Pipes (G1).

Pipes is an Autobot from the Transformers Animated continuity family.

Hi, he's not Daisy!

Unlike his older brother, Huffer, who gets all the fame, Pipes is seldom seen. He is, however, not any less hard working. In fact, he's a bit of a workaholic. Huffer wishes his little brother would take a day off some time, and maybe get a hobby. His home is empty and devoid of personal touches... not that Pipes ever goes there.

Both Pipes and his brother have special arms. In Pipes's case, he can shoot corrosive gases from them. This helps him deteriorate the buildup of grime that has gummed up Cybertron's ancient sewer system.

Notes

• Pipes was first revealed on April 1st 2009 on Derrick Wyatt's blog, as part of a group shot of characters who may or may not have gone on to appear in the cartoon. While his older brother Huffer did, Pipes did not. Later, Pipes would appear in The AllSpark Almanac II, where he would be given a bio.
• Pipes is based on Luigi, while his brother Huffer is based on Mario. To that end, Pipes a-talks a-like-a this.
• Generation 1 Pipes collects otherworldly things obsessively, to the point that his quarters are practically a museum. Animated Pipes, on the other hand, is too busy fixing pipes to have ever left Cybertron, so his quarters are empty.
