In Timebuster, Tony Twister arrives in the Time Travellers Zone in his Time Tunnelator. When he is taunted by Ingo, Twister angrily orders Boney to fire the xzylogif cannon at maximum power, transforming the Flybo into the Flybo-Prison with Tim Timebuster trapped inside. However, Ingo escapes with a turbo surfboard, and Twister orders Boney to shoot Ingo. Instead, a stray shot of the xzylogif cannon transforms Twister into a pig. He swears revenge as the Time Cruisers escape.
In Robo-Force vs. the Time Twisters, Tony Twister flies the Time Tunnelator to a moon, where Roboforce was helping colonists from the Outback. Twister planned to reprogram the Robo Master and take over the galaxy, and so he demands their surrender. Chip Nebula refuses and fires at Twister, who twists through space and arrives on Venus. Due to the planet's atmospheric pressure and heat, Twister flees to Mars, where he attempts unsuccessfully to robonap the Robo Raider. Finally, Twister is nearly trapped by Robo Stalker on Saturn, but he warps out and vows to come back for their robo disks.LEGO Mania Magazine March-April 1997, pg. 8-9 This appears to be followed up in The Adventures of the LEGO Maniac: Invasion of the Time Twisters, which begins with Tony Twister calling Professor Millennium and telling him to steal the robo disks from planet Roboton.LEGO Mania Magazine March-April 1997, pg. 16
