Dinosaurer (SG)

"Total victory requires total destruction."

TRYPTICON doesn't stop blasting away until he's wading hip-deep in smoking rubble. He's the most efficient, lethal fighting machine yet devised by the Decepticons, completely without mercy or remorse. The only emotion that he is programmed to display is hatred; the emotion always present, only varying in intensity. He restrains his loathing for his fellow Decepticons enough to be minimally cooperative, but his hatred for Autobots knows no bounds. He is supremely confident in his abilities. Although he believes he will one day rule the Decepticons, this prospect barely has any appeal to him. Trypticon makes no attempt to hide his feelings except to himself, unable admit that his hatred for others is a mask for his own self-loathing. He'd rather be doing anything other than combat, secretly finding it boring and pointless.

In dinosaur mode, Trypticon has incredible strength and is virtually impervious to attack. A rocket backpack allows him to jump a distance of 20 miles in atmosphere, and allows him to achieve escape velocity into space, where he has interstellar and FTL capability. He can shoot heat-seeking plasma bombs from his mouth and carries a particle beam cannon within his sinus cavity. His optical sensors shoot high frequency hypno-beams that, when locked on to another Transformer's optic units, carry powerful electromagnetic currents, overriding their target's own mental processes, allowing Trypticon to control that Transformer. If the intended victim is strong-willed enough or manages to turn away from Trypticon's gaze quickly enough, he can avoid this fate. In city mode, Trypticon opens up to reveal landing and repair bays and a communication center with antennae for local and interstellar transmissions. An anti-gravity repulsor disk at each end prevents anyone from approaching closer than 1,000 feet unless Trypticon chooses. Rotating scanners on top of the city can blast a hole through a city block of buildings.

In mobile battle station mode, Trypticon is perhaps at his most dangerous. He can attain a speed of 800 mph with a range of 8000 miles and is armed with a laser cannon, rotating blasters, destructo beams, and dual photon launchers.
