Pipes

Pipes was a later release in the Kingdom line, and is a partial remold of Huffer. Like the original G1 toy, they both use the same mold but have differences in the transformation method.

The box is your standard transformers window box, prior to them going over to the plastic-free packaging.

Pipes shares probably 50% of his parts with Huffer. The feet, legs and cab are the same, but Pipes has new tooling for the head, chest, arms and waist. The accessories are also unique to this figure.

In robot mode, Pipes is a brute. I don’t love the feet due to their length, but I shared that complaint with Huffer.

Truck mode is still a little janky, with a lot of empty space behind the cab, the “pipes” themselves not lining up straight, and the overall crookedness of the side profile.

Still, I like him. Go figure. Now Kiss.
