Buff came to life thanks to a Bat Mother Board. At Gotham Amusement Mile, Jestah tricked Buff into the tea cup ride. In the rematch with the Legion of Zoom, Buff destroyed Snowy's ice cubes and defeated him with a loose ferris wheel cage. The Batwheels used their Bat Magnets to save the limo Batman was trapped him. Buff befriended Mr. Freeze's snowcrawler Snowy after he saw him deliberately crashing in order to avoid hitting a dog. Buff convinced the others he was good. Buff's winch came in handy with liberating the Batwheels after a chase across the roof tops failed to produce Quizz's capture. He later used it to pull himself and the others from Quizz's quicksand trap at Gotham Central Park. Buff got snow tires for Christmas. Buff wanted to be graceful but knew he was too clumsy and big, especially after trying an obstacle course in the Batcave and accidentally running Moe over.
Buff's gloom translated to Batman's failed pursuit of Riddler at Cobblepot construction site. Batman had Moe run a check-up but nothing was wrong. Batwing got an idea to teach Buff ballet to learn balance and grace. It worked and he helped Batman capture Riddler before he could ruin the annual sandcastle contest at Gotham Point Beach. During the Annual Gotham Grand Prix, Snowy froze Buff's tires and he was disqualified. Riddler's escape with the Amusetta Stone was blocked by the Bat-Truck outside the Gotham Art Museum. The truck stomped the street and knocked Riddler off his feet. Batman recovered the stone but Riddler fled in his helicopter taunting him not to act so puzzled. A news reporter complimented the truck but watched as the stone crumbled in Batman's hands and she thought he ruined it. Batman soon realized he recovered a fake. Back at the Batcave, Batman asked Batcomputer to scan the city for Riddler and Moe to dispose of the fake. Buff wanted to take a look at it but was distracted by the others nicknaming him "Tough Buff."
Buff didn't like the nickname but ignored it in hopes they would stop but they didn't. Buff sulked in his port then later admitted to Bam, Redbird, and Bibi he didn't like the nickname and was more than just tough. The others agreed and noted Buff was the first to cheer anyone up, remembered everyone's favorite songs, and knew the streets better than any of the Batwheels. At the same time, Batman and Buff realized the fake stone was a puzzle after realizing the phrase "Don't act so puzzled" was being repeated. Moe reassembled it and a holographic map was projected pointed to the Gotham Point Pier. Riddler was about to depart with the real stone but Batman and Bat-Truck tricked him with holograms of the former. Riddler jumped over the pier into the sand then climbed back up and ran for his helicopter but ran right into the real Batman and was handcuffed. He realized the Bat-Truck was projecting the holograms and admitted it was more than tough.
While out on patrol, Buff observed a brave stray puppy protect three others from Catwoman. He turned on his lights and Catwoman was scared off. He couldn't bring himself to leave the strays in the streets with Catwoman on the loose. He sneaked them into the Batcave and tried to hide them in his garage space but he soon revealed them to the other Batwheels, Moe, and Batcomputer. They promised to keep them out of Batman's sight. They managed to prevent him from being hit by a batarang, from seeing the strays taking the practice cars on a joyride, dislodging the giant penny, and even licking his glove. After he left and the Batwheels retired to recharge, the strays didn't want to get them in any trouble and returned to the city. The brave puppy found a half-eaten fish as Buff arrived in search of them. They formed a plan and the puppy jumped on his hook. He jumped and swapped Catwoman's steak for the fish. All of the stray cats took notice and chased after Catwoman and Kitka. An adoption fair was held for the four puppies. The brave one was adopted by the Bat-Family.
Buff played fetch with Ace in the Batcave until Bam pointed out it wasn't the best place due to the size. They relocated to Gotham Stadium. Buff used his winch and tossed the ball super long. Ace noticed someone trying to steal the engine out of a parked car. It was Poison Ivy. Ivy revealed she was in the process of making a car bigger and better than the Batwheels. Buff used his winch on the Flower Bud with the engine but Ivy pulled with a vine and broke the winch. She kept it for her car. Buff believed he couldn't fight a supervillain without a winch but Bam taught him to improvise and make use of his surroundings. Ace brought him a branch that looked like a winch. They tracked Ivy to the Gotham Amusement Mile in the process of stealing a bumper car. Buff used the wood winch to yank Ivy into one of the cars and she got bounced around. Buff got his lights blocked by sticky flowers. Ivy got away with a bumper car and tea cup. Ace improvised and brought him a string of lights.
They tracked Ivy to a Cobblepot construction site where Ivy was stealing a digger. She used the special snoozy pollen to put Bam, Buff, and Ace to sleep, then stole Buff's tires. They tried to find something to substitute for the tires but nothing worked until Ace saw the giant donuts on the food trucks nearby. They caught up to Ivy but her car was finished, the SU-IVY. She dug a hole but Buff bounced out of it then stomped the ground, disabling the SU-IVY. He used the wood winch to toss the car. It broke apart then the tea cup skidded and Ivy was tossed on her face. Ace wrapped her up in the string of lights. She vowed to build a bigger car, one with seat warmers, a fancy stereo system, and a smoothie machine. After all the stolen parts were returned, Bam and Buff returned to the stadium and played fetch with Ace using the wood winch. Bam chose Buff and Batwing to investigate Snowy and Jestah because of their special skills complimenting each other, Buff could push through the rough path and Batwing could keep an eye on the Zoomers from above.
Buff was left behind clearing a pile of logs and Batwing got stuck in some trees after she spotted Snowy and Jestah. Snowy made an ice bridge to an island in the middle of a lake and picked the freeze-berries. Buff freed Batwing but she sped off. Jestah blinded her with wiper fluid then Snowy froze one of her wings. They got away with the berries. Jestah shattered the bridge on the way out. Buff arrived and made a floating bridge with the logs and used a batarang to chip the ice off her wing. Batwing admitted they should have worked together but she made a bigger mess and apologized. Buff and Batwing chased Jestah in the city. Buff used his winch and swung her around then Batwing snagged her and carried her above the city. Jestah shouted she hated heights and demanded to be released. Batwing dropped her on the remaining berries and she froze. Buff and Batwing used hot cocoa from one of the food trucks to thaw the frozen Gothamites out.
In an effort to understand each other better and what their unique roles on the team were, Moe randomly switched the Bat-Motherboards of each Batwheel. Buff was placed in Redbird but he had a hard time being small and unnoticed. Randomly using the Batoflage didn't help much. The Legion of Zoom stole the Rumble Ray from S.T.A.R. Labs in a bid to bring down the Batcave with shockwaves. Back in his body, Buff shattered the ice wall created by Snowy. Redbird took Buff's stuffed unicorn without asking him and placed him on a car as part of a stunt video to show off his new move the Bo Staff Back Flip. He failed to notice the car was on a truck flatbed. It drove off and dropped the car off at the Parkham Scrap Yard. Jestah, Ducky, and Prank wanted it and fought over it. Eventually, they went back to the Batcave and Buff learned the truth about where his unicorn was. He wasn't happy but took solace in Redbird telling him the truth. He offered the use of his winch to save the uniforn.
They later returned with Buff. Bam distracted the Zoomers by pretending to be a pizza delivery car while Buff lowered Redbird into the yard with his winch. Redbird performed his back flip, snatched the unicorn, and narrowly exited the yard just as Buff lowered a train car in front of the entrance. On the way back to the Batcave, Redbird promised to always ask first from now on. Buff was cool with him using the unicorn for the stunt video. Bam revealed he got Redbird's back flip at the yard recorded. Buff and Batwing helped train Bam in using the Bat Big Rig, namely the wide turns and gently braking. They also helped with escorting the Batcomputer to Star City and fighting the Legion of Zoom. The Batwheels tried in vain to stop Grundy. At the Gotham Art Museum, Buff decided to follow his instincts and tried talking to Grundy. He discovered Grundy had a nail stuck in his front left wheel. Buff was able to pull it out and a patch was applied. Grundy felt better and was happy to have friends. Both sides apologized for the misunderstanding and teamed up to clean everything.
Buff wanted to have Ace perform tricks on command for the talent show to decide who would get the Bat Dazzle Vehicle Paint. However, Ace was not responding. When it was joked who was taking commands from whom, Buff decided to flip the script and did the tricks instead. Buff's frustration with being big came to light when he lost a game of hide-and-seek in the Batcave. He used the Atom's back up Shrink Belt to shrink himself down to tiny size. He was overjoyed to finally be able to hug his teddy bear Tristan but things took a turn when Ace mistook him for a toy and took him to his lair on the lower level of the Batcave. Buff launched himself on a Batarang, avoided the other Batwheels, and made his way to a magnifying glass to show Ace he was really Buff. Ace took him back to the Shrink Belt and returned to his normal size. In Bibi's Wizard of Oz dream, Buff was the Cowardly Lion.
The other Batwheels wanted to do their own rendition of Gotham's Finest Stars in the Batcave, but Buff was too shy to sing around them. Buff lied about needing to practice so the Batwheels went to Gotham Central Park. Voice Box, Music Meister's bus, overheard them and stole their singing voice. They pursued him through the city. Voice Box laid out road spikes fashioned after sharps and flats but Buff cleared the path. He tried a drum solo to make the road too dangerous to pursue. Batwing nailed him with a Batarang and he got stuck. Buff revealed he didn't sing back at the park and admitted it was easier to sing when he was by himself. The others implored him to pretend he was in Bat-Wash. Buff started singing the Batwheels song and broke Voice Box's singing lock. The other Batwheels were able to sing again. Elsewhere, Batman captured Music Meister. Batcave's Finest Stars continued in the Batcave.
The Batwheels tried to stop King Tut from getting away with a pair of ancient artifacts called the Wishing Stone and Reversing Stone said to be able to grant any wish and if needed, undo them. The Batwheels intercepted him on the coast near Wayne Manor. Bam was able to snag the Wishing Stone but Tut got away with the Reversing Stone. Buff used the stone to wish the other Batwheels were all monster trucks like him so they could enjoy life like he does. Buff eventually realized he liked them how they were before but the Wishing Stone would not grant his wish to restore them to normal. They eventually wished they knew where King Tut was. Batcomputer suddenly traced him to ancient ruins. Because of their size, they set off all the traps. Buff used his winch to snag the Reversing Stone from Tut. They fell into a pit and the walls began to close in on them. Tut promised if they gave the stone back, he would spare them. Buff ultimately used the stone to undo his wish and the Batwheels were restored back to normal then Tut was captured.
Batwing ran into Buff who was out volunteering around the city. He was in the middle of delivering food to the needy. Batwing wasn't so sure about joining him but he assured her it was more fun than she thought. They loaded up Buff's trailer at the food bank then departed for Gotham Plaza. They helped out at the park, picked up trash, and helped an old lady cross the street. They came upon Star City Scouts stuck in muck at the Cobblepot Construction Site. Buff disengaged the trailer to help them out. Jestah and Quizz stole the trailer to play their version of keep away. They didn't believe the boxes were food for the needy. Buff fired a wheel lock on Jestah but Quizz carried the trailer away. Jestah got free and hammered one of the Gotham Expressway's pillars. Buff's winch hit Batwing instead of Quizz and they got tangled up. The scouts they helped earlier helped untie the knot. The old lady they helped pushed a walk button and Jestah and Quizz were stuck at a red light as Batwing and Buff caught up. Batwing hit Quizz with an Electro-Net and Buff lifted Jestah up with his winch. They managed to convince to pair to help with volunteering, mostly for some awesome stickers.
Meet The Batwheels: Before Bam could settle in for the night to recharge, he was woken up by Bibi then Buff. Buff revealed Alfie was hanging upside down on his grill. He thought it was cute but he couldn't use his winch. Bam suggested teaching him to fetch. Alfie flew off, grabbed an oil can, and dropped it on Buff.
