Biography[]
Captured for Experiments[]
From an unspecified jungle, the Mystery Man kidnapped 3 monkeys for his experiment. They were named the "Pipotrons", and were created only to kidnap Helga's father to get his Disk.
The Pipotrons broke into Helga's house while she wasn't home and took her father away. After discovering that Helga's father didn't have the disk, they find out that the disk is in the trophy in the High-Tech Tournament. The Pipotrons are ordered to win the tournament and get the disk.
Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed[]
The Pipotrons join the tournament, and participate in various events. At the end of the tournament, the Pipotrons steal the trophy and discover the disk. The Pipotrons give it to a super computer virus called Grid Core, who wants to conquer the world. Once he has the disk, the Mystery Man decides that the regular Pipotrons deserve the same fate as the others. The new villain introduces the new Virus-Tech Tournament, where the characters are fighting for their very lives while getting closer to the villain's lair. The Pipotrons, along with the other characters, reach the new villain in the form of Grid Core and defeat him, turning the virtual world back to normal. The Pipotrons disappear with their whereabouts unknown.
Tron Red: He can strike really hard. Once he gets close enough to a target, he's untoucheable!
Tron Blue: His attacks are balanced. His Dash Hoop is super high speed!
Tron Yellow: His projectile attack is very strong! You should keep your distance when he's attacking!

Trivia[]
- The Pipotron's Theme in Ape Escape Pumped & Primed and Ape Escape: Million Monkeys contains lyrics from a rap known as "Masterbits Rapsody Vocals 2 Climax 9" from Masterbits RAPsody Vocals II Sample CD. This sample is used very commonly in Japanese soundtracks, and is perhaps best known for its use in "Shudder", a theme from the game Einhänder.
