FUNCTION: ASSAULT TEAM
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 74

“We’re only halves of a whole, but double the trouble.”

Profile: Battletrap can best be described as playful – in the same sense
that a cat is playful with a mouse that it’s caught before the cat moves in
for the kill. If his two components were humans they’d very likely be a wrestling
tag-team. He likes to trap an adversary between his jeep and helicopter components
and have “fun” with him – knock him back and forth a bit – before
finally ripping him to pieces. He’s cheerful and good-natured – no doubt because
he enjoys his work so much.

Abilities: Battletrap can divide his robot into two separate and autonomous
vehicle modes – jeep and helicopter. The two vehicles have identical personalities
and can recombine into robot mode in 1.6 seconds. The jeep has a maximum speed
of 90 mph and a range of 600 miles. In robot and jeep modes, Battletrap uses
a double-barreled, wire-guided assault missile launcher with infra-red imaging
for night-firing capabilities. The helicopter has a maximum speed of 780 mph
and a range of 1200 miles. It is packed with electronic detection, jamming and
communication equipment.

Weaknesses: Battletrap has good strength in robot mode, but sacrifices
much of this for mobility when he divides into his two vehicle modes. Neither
vehicle is especially rugged or weapons-fire-resistant.
