Trypticon

Trypticon was a Toa of Air and a member of the Toa Catastras.

History
In 150,080 CMT, Trypticon was created when Catalyx crashed into Chenrotoss and released energy that turned a group of travelling cacti into the Toa Catastras. Catalyx instructed the newly-formed Catastras that their purpose was to kill Naju. Trypticon and his teammates got into a few fights and died a few times, but always returned to life somehow. The Catastras were later summoned by Catalyx to help him and their sworn enemy Naju, along with Ta'harok and Farpoint, prevent Blackout from activating the Conduit aboard the Mata Nui II. In the Battle of Mata Nui II, Trypticon and his teammates attacked Blackout as individuals but soon merged into Lonka for greater power. The Catastras remained fused as Lonka until Lonka (and therefore the component Catastras) turned into fudge and were irreversibly absorbed by Parkin.

Kanohi Powers

 * Intuitive Aptitude: Trypticon's Mask of Understanding enabled him to understand the true meaning behind every spoken word.

Elemental Powers

 * Air Creation: Trypticon could create winds or constructs of air by projecting elemental Air energy from his hands or his Toa Tool.
 * Air Control: Trypticon had complete telekinetic control over air and could manipulate air currents to create anything from a gentle breeze to a small tornado.
 * Air Absorption: Trypticon could absorb certain amounts of air into his body, which became stored for use in future elemental attacks.
 * Air Nova Blast: In extreme circumstances, Trypticon could have released all of his elemental energy in the form of an air Nova Blast, which would be a wind strong enough to devastate an area the size of a large city.

Trivia

 * Like all members of the Toa Catastras, Trypticon was named after a Transformers character of the same name.
