Before they debuted in Infiltrating the Airship, the Toppat clan first appeared in a separate Puffballs production called Operation Infiltration. Having a different artstyle from the Henry Stickmin Collection, the short film stars a character named Dudie who infiltrates the hidden jungle base of the Toppat clan. After gunning down a few Toppats, Dudie steals a CD disk from a Toppat computer before being picked up by what appears to be a government helicopter.
Personally, I headcanon Operation Infiltration as taking place in the Henry Stickmin timeline, with the data that the CD carried revolving around the basic whereabouts of the Toppat's different major developments, such as the airship and rocket launch.
