- Zaptraps are Decepticon Insecticons from the Generation One continuity family.
I think I stepped on something.
Zaptraps (ザップトラップ) are clones of the Insecticon Shrapnel. Though they have extremely limited intelligence and are largely operated by Shrapnel's control-beams, in large numbers they are fairly capable hunter-seeker units, capable of producing powerful electric bolts from their horns. Though they are fairly sturdy, should Shrapnel's control-beams be interrupted, they will instantly crumble into a pile of component parts.
Fiction[]
Technically, the Zaptraps have never appeared in any fiction, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Zaptrap designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Shrapnel-model Insecticlones can be considered a Zaptrap appearance.
Toys[]
Generation One[]
- Insectron Clone Army (multi-pack, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: 75 (individual), 76 (clones set)
- Accessories: "Gamma Beam Detonator" (ガンマ線デトネーター) rifle, energon cube.
- A redeco of the Insecticon Shrapnel mold, Zaptrap transforms into a Kuwagatrer. The "control seat" in the insect-mode back/robot-mode chest can open up and store one of the three energon cubes that come with the set. Zaptrap was only available in an e-Hobby exclusive set with Salvo and Shothole.
Notes[]
- Zaptrap's coloration is based on the mold's original pre-Transformers Diaclone "Waruder Kuwagatrer" release.
- Zaptrap's bio card claims they are also armed with grenade launchers. Nobody knows where they are on their bodies.
