Trypticon (G1)

Trypticon (トリプティコン, Toriputikon) is an unstoppable engine of destruction that are enormous in both size and power. This might please him greatly... were he not bored by the entire prospect. He cares little for his role as the ultimate Decepticon weapon and finds war to be a waste of effort. He doesn't like his comrades, he absolutely hates the Autobots, and—though he hides it well—he loathes himself most of all.

Trypticon transforms to a massive artillery platform that can devastate Autobot forces, who often must resort to trickery to defeat him. The only Autobot who can go toe-to-toe with him is Metroplex, and there is a great rivalry between the two cities.

Trypticon is sometimes accompanied by one or more smaller robots, such as the autonomous Wipe-Out and the drones Full-Tilt and Brunt.

He hates water more than any other substance in the universe, mostly because he gets thrown into it a lot.

"Trypticon cannot be stopped! Nothing can stand in my way!"

Synopsis
Right when the Autobots had found the drill they were looking for in the Karzite mines, Trypticon gave out a loud roar. Rodimus Prime recognized it, but he was in disbelief about what it meant. Sure enough, Trypticon fell from the sky, stating that the Autobots were too late. The city/dinosaur Decepticon announced that he was going to crush all of the Autobots now that they had nowhere to run. Surprisingly, the Autobots managed to take down Trypticon, who cried out and announced his being hurt. Threatening the Autobots that he would not forget his defeat and warned them that he would crush them some day, Trypticon fled back to the Decepticon base.
