Trypticon (G1)

Trypticon is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity.

Generation 1
Voice actor: Brad Garrett (US) (?) Japan

Built on Earth by the Constructicons out of an existing city, Trypticon was the Decepticon answer to Metroplex. His first act after being activated, well, second after stepping on those pesky Minibots, was to destroy the Ark. Destroying one Autobot stronghold wasn't enough, however, and Trypticon soon set his sights on Autobot City and Metroplex.

Metroplex was at a disadavantage, since he was without his Transformation cog, and Trypticon exploited that weakness. However, the timely arrival of Blurr and Wheelie with the cog allowed Metroplex to gain the upper hand, and Trypticon to take a bath.

Trypticon resurfaced later in a world monument stealing scheme with the triple changer Octane. They stole the monuments for Abdul Fakkadi of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya in exchange for the country's high-grade oil. Rodimus Prime, Metroplex, and the rest of the Autobots put a stop to the scheme, and Trypticon took another bath.

Later, he had one of his eyes, his transformation cog, and even his body stolen by Starscream and Scourge in an effort to revive Unicron. He also acted as a transport vessel for the other "primative" transformers when they went to fight Tornedron, sadly no baths were taken.
