Trantoshen (OU)

Trantoshen is a clone of Kakamu, grown from a DNA sample that was taken from the aforementioned warrior when he was a Toa. He currently resides on a faraway planet with his father and his extended family.

Origins
When Toa Kakamu was a member of the Order of Mata Nui, one of his missions was to deactivate a bomb in Le-Metru that was placed on a chute by the Dark Hunters. Unknown to him, the bomb was actually a Genetic Manipulator placed there by User KoN, who wanted to create a clone of Kakamu in case he was killed, mutated, or strayed down the wrong path. After the device took a DNA sample from several layers of Kakamu's body, it "deactivated" so Kakamu gave it to the Vahki. The Vahki put it in a storage closet, but the device was secretly still running, and over time Toa Trantoshen grew from it and was born. Kakamu's clone, or son, lived his life out on Metru Nui among the friends his father would never see again.

Trantoshen had an adventurous spirit, so though he enjoyed being a Toa living on Metru Nui and the excitement that the job brought him, he desired to travel the universe. Before he could however, his noble actions in defending Metru Nui had earned him audience with the Order of Mata Nui. He travelled to their headquarters on Odina, and learned from Yntral the truth about his creation, as Trantoshen had no memories of being a Matoran. Yntral also told him all about his father's life, and that he was killed by the Brotherhood of Makuta - this filled Trantoshen with rage, and he made a vow to avenge his father by destroying the Brotherhood and all of its operatives once and for all. (Note - in actuality, he was not killed, but transformed into a Makuta himself. Yntral considered this to be no different.)

Leaving the MU
Sick of the MU, Trantoshen visited Artakha's island in the hope that the mighty being might grant his wish to visit somewhere new. He did, and Trantoshen was granted a Kanoka of Teleportation, and was beamed onto a safe planet elsewhere in the BZPB Multiverse. Now with a means of travel and his eyes opened to the outer universe, the Toa of Fire's misadventures began when he used his Kanoka to gain access to the Realm of Shadows. Once inside, he found the Kanohi Daran and the Guardian Fire Spear, which were previously retrieved and placed there by the Fellowship of Kakamu completely coincidentally. Now geared up, he began his vengeance by hunting down and locating any Makuta that might have also left the MU prior to when he did. The first one he discovered was named Klak. While trying to eliminate him with extreme prejudice, Trantoshen was knocked to the floor by Klak's ally, TMV.

He briefly fought the two warriors before being kidnapped by the Fellowship of Kakamu, who believed that Trantoshen was Kakamu. Trantoshen informed them that his father was dead and that he was not the one they were looking for, so they let him go. He continued on his way for a while.

Elsewhere, Kakamu was still alive in his antidermis form, but without a body. Desperate, he travelled to the Realm of Shadows to talk to the Zivon. The Zivon, the master of the dimension, informed Kakamu that he had observed someone enter it previously who he believed to be Kakamu's son. Kakamu searched for his son for a long time, inhabiting a variety of robots to stop himself from dissipating in the meantime. When he eventually found Trantoshen, he took over his body, which he used to travel around in for a while. In Trantoshen's body, Kakamu fought off some Parasitic Fluff and Genetoes, and accidentally teleported into a room filled with liquid concrete that solidified and trapped him for several years. When the room was destroyed, he escaped alive, and Trantoshen's consciousness was safe but dormant.

Eventually realising his selfish ways and wishing to make amends, Kakamu evacuated his son's body in favour of a Makuta's. Trantoshen observed his father use Formula 223 to change his body into that of a Toa-Makuta, though Kakamu quickly used up most of his Toa power to destroy a Parasitic Fluff swarm, turning him into a Turaga-Makuta. Trantoshen later went with Kakamu and Nosmailliw to fight Blackout at the Mata Nui II. During the battle, Genetoes kicked Trantoshen high in the air, and the Toa landed on Parkin.

Shenanigans

 * Note: Written copies of these events were lost in BZPower's database crash. This is all that remains of them, so we cannot elaborate on the more ridiculous ones.

At some point, he ended up inside the Wigwam, tried to fight Barricade on board Darkmount, was thrown out and fell towards the planet below, had his parachute destroyed, was attacked by Daleks, and was pulled into the Shattered Mirror by strange beings. He was then confronted by his Shattered Mirror incarnation, who said something of little importance to him.

Trantoshen later escaped from the Shattered Mirror Universe, but was immediately sucked into the UG. Fortunately, he was able to escape from it somehow before it was closed. In a twist of cruel irony, he was faced with the death of his father immediately after, when Kakamu sacrificed his life force to destroy Blackout's titan form. He took a moment to grieve for him, but the moment was interrupted by Blackout emerging from the wreckage, back in his original body. An intense close-combat battle ensued, during which Trantoshen screamed and threw fireballs at the Makuta, but was force-choked and thrown away. Ynot took over, charging at the titan, parrying his blows and inducing him into an apparent coma. Not wishing to descend to Blackout's level by killing him, Trantoshen left the scene instead, and tried to steal the Keruvim for some reason. We don't know why, and neither does Books LLC.

Yon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shot Trantoshen in the head, then tried to teleport himself with the Keruvim back to his ship. Trantoshen sighed and removed the bullet from his head. Yon had performed a Miserable Failure because Deathsaurus had already taken the Keruvim from Trantoshen, so Yon and Trantoshen were both sucked screaming into a plothole. It led to a dark room, which the two duelled in. However, Trantoshen quickly got bored, and after remembering his father's death, he was overcome with grief and teleported back to civilisation to arrange a funeral for his father.

After the funeral, Trantoshen left with Praepositus, who requested his presence to find out how to take down Blackout. Praepositus was unfamiliar with the Makuta species, so Trantoshen patiently explained to the human soldier the concept of antidermis.

Uterio War and the Post-War period
During the events of the Uterio War, Trantoshen was a part of the Rebel Alliance and fought in some of the many wars with Klak, Treveya and Nadle. One of the more notable battles he was part of was the Battle of Krustallos, where he commanded a squad of Malchiorian soldiers.

After the war had ended and he was reunited with his father, who returned with a new biometal body, he fled with him alongside Muta and Mocax to a planet far far away. On this new planet, his father built a new laboratory for himself deep underground while Trantoshen and Mocax journeyed to the surface. Once they emerged, they were worshipped as "arena gods" by the planet's inhabitants and forced to fight a Zahgargak.

Trivia

 * While Kakamu is notorious for not dying, Trantoshen is notorious for escaping from deadly situations with ease, and often without explanation. So far he has escaped from the Matoran Universe before it went boom, the Shattered Mirror Universe (where he was kept as a prisoner of war), and the UG, before it was sealed.

Quotes

 * "Ynot once trapped my father inside a cage made of iron. I learnt a few things from my father, when he was alive. Now the Makuta must be destroyed so he can be avenged!"
