Corporate Move

After Pizza Time Theatre vacated the Sunnyvale building in 1984, Jasper, along with Winchester's Chuck E. Cheese (V2) Bot and Pasqually Bot would be rescued by Jul Kamen. Jul would end up loaning all three portrait bots to the SPT Headquarters in the mid 1990's to display in a museum dedicated to the history of Chuck E. Cheese's. The museum plans would never go through and the animatronics would simply be used as display pieces.

At some point, Jasper's shirt was replaced with a blue and white striped shirt and their muzzle was repainted with extra spots.

Destruction

In 2004, Corporate would undergo a remodel and the portrait bots would be removed from their spot on the wall. The animatronics were ordered destroyed as part of CEC's strict 'de-identification' policy. While Chuck E. was saved by employees, Jasper and Pasqually were destroyed. The person who destroyed them is unknown.
