Fictional biography

In the battle over Earth, the Renegades enlist the aid of a secret GoBotron recruit - Puzzler. Made up of six unusual GoBots, Puzzler pieces turn from robot to vehicle, and each possess a specific mighty skill:

Pocket's karate hand movers faster than the eye. Crossword has the crushing strength of six GoBots. Tic Tac is the evil mind behind Puzzler's schemes. Jig Saw, the master of disguises, bends into any shape. Rube's super senses feel the slightest movement. Zig Zag has the furious speed of a striking snake.

When their powers combine, they become a formidable force. However, Puzzler has one weakness - and the Guardians have discovered it. Should even one Piece be unable to join with the others, the mighty strength will fade away. Each piece must then rely on his own specific skill to survive. The Guardians must keep Puzzler from piecing together. The fate of the Earth depends on it!

Animated series

Puzzler's single appearance in the Challenge of the GoBots series was in the episode "Auto-Matic". A Renegade attempt to counter the Guardians' Courageous Powersuit system, the Puzzler was constructed on Earth by Cy-Kill. Its' six components were then dispersed across America by a car salesman named Larry E. Cocoa, who was in the pay of the Renegades. However, his wife tampered with their controls, causing the six cars to converge and combine into the full Puzzler. This alerted the Guardians, who moved in to combat the Puzzler. Initially it had them on the run until the Powersuits were retrieved from GoBotron, at which point Courageous was able to halt the Puzzler and destroy it.
