Trantoshen, often referred to as SMT or SMTr for short, was the version of Trantoshen from the Shattered Mirror Universe. Unlike his Original Universe counterpart, he was a Toa of Ice. He was also quite amoral, always looking for ways to get ahead in life, without much regard for others. The only person he felt any attachment to was his adoptive father, Kakamu.
History[edit | edit source]
The Grab for Power[edit | edit source]
Trantoshen was the adopted son of Kakamu, leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta. When Kakamu left the Shattered Mirror Universe through an artifact known as the Shattered Mirror, his second-in-command, Ynot, became the ruler of the Brotherhood in his absence, much to Trantoshen's disdain.[1] When Ynot left Destral on a campaign to conquer the other islands of the Matoran Universe and bring them under the rule of the Brotherhood,[2] Trantoshen saw a window of opportunity to take over Destral himself. To this end, he sent some of his minions through the Shattered Mirror to kidnap the Original Universe's version of Trantoshen and bring him back to Destral. SMT then told the other Trantoshen that he needed his help to stop SMY from conquering the universe with a new superweapon, but this was a lie to get OU Trantoshen to help him in his own attempt to take over Destral, which eventually succeeded. SMT was attacked by OU Trantoshen when he realized SMT's true intentions, but their battle was interrupted by the arrival of SMY, who had returned to Destral with an army to take back control of the island by force.[1]
In the battle that followed, SMT responded by deploying armies of Bohrok and Visorak-Rahkshi hybrids against the invading forces, but he was unable to prevent SMY from breaking into the fortress and attacking him in person. When SMT was dragged into the path of a rampaging Tahtorak, he attempted to use his Kanohi Komau to force the Tahtorak to attack a Zivon, but was crushed in the process. After SMT was recovered by Spiriah, he was approached by three people from the Eternal Universe named Breakout, Blockade and Brawler, who accused SMT of violating the "Universe-Travelling Restriction Act 1999". The three cross-dimensional travellers then threw SMT into a portal and disappeared,[1] which resulted in SMY being able to claim victory.[2]
Invasion Through the Shattered Mirror II[edit | edit source]
According to SM Blackout, SMT was trapped in the Original Universe until he used the Shattered Mirror device to return home. When the Shattered Mirror was destroyed, severing the link between the two universes, SMT gathered the remaining members of the Brotherhood of Makuta who had survived the destruction of the Matoran Universe and set about creating a successor to the Shattered Mirror, aptly named the Shattered Mirror II, for the purpose of invading and conquering new territories in the Original Universe.[3]
In 150,081 CMT, SMT emerged from the Shattered Mirror II at the site of Kakamu's funeral in the Original Universe, followed by a hundreds-strong army that had accompanied him from the Shattered Mirror Universe. SMT grabbed OU Trantoshen by the throat and demanded to know where Kakamu was, seemingly oblivious to the purpose of the event that he and his army had crashed.[4] When OU Trantoshen replied that Kakamu was dead, SMY angrily threw him into the side of Kakamu's coffin, saying "I spent a whole year making another Shattered Mirror gateway, only to come through and hear that Kakamu is dead?! I don't think so".[5] OU Trantoshen then attacked SMT in self-defense, which prompted SMT to command his army to attack, initiating the Battle at Kakamu's Funeral.[6] SMT then mocked his counterpart, who side-swept him onto the ground[7] and repeatedly punched him in retaliation,[8] while SM Blackout informed OU Blackout of the events that had led SMT to create the Shattered Mirror II and decide to use it to invade the Original Universe.[3] After SMT blasted OU Trantoshen off him, knocking him unconscious, SMT ordered two soldiers to accompany him while he walked through the battlefield and cut down anyone who he did not recognize as being from the Shattered Mirror Universe.[9]
When it seemed like the battle could be swinging towards a loss, SMT used a mobile phone to message the pilot of the Shattered Mirror II with an order to activate Weapon X, a green dish-like weapon that was deployed from the underside of the Shattered Mirror II and directed at the battle below.[10] Although SMT's forces ending up winning the battle, both he and the pilot of the SMII forgot to deactivate Weapon X after their victory, so it ended up obliterating the battlefield and almost everyone and everything that was left in the area save for SMT himself.[11]
Battle of Omega Supreme[edit | edit source]
In 150,082 CMT, SM Trantoshen returned in the Battle of Omega Supreme, where he used a spear made of ice to impale a robot that was threatening SM Kakamu. After telling his father that he had come because he thought he might need his help, SMT introduced another robot that he had brought with him: SM Advanced Dal, who defeated two more of Omega Supreme's guardian robots with powerful electric blasts.[12] SMT and SMADVD then fired ice and lightning blasts at Quick Billy and the other pirates who were attempting to gain control of Omega Supreme,[13] but Quick Billy quickly formed a shield to block their attacks.[14] Afterwards, SMT worked alongside SMADVD, Barricade, Bonecrusher, and Brawl to attack the Makuta Anima.[15][16] When Sasuken ordered Trixitin to focus on SMT,[17] SMT preemptively attacked Trixitin by firing a freeze ray,[18] but Trixitin nullified the ray by deflecting it with a kunai. Trixitin then leaped towards SMT,[19] only to be repelled by a forcefield that SMADVD generated around SMT, himself, and the Elite Makuta.[20] Before SMT could respond, he and his allies were swept away by the TurboZord summoned by Ynot.[21] While SMT was scrambling for cover,[22] he and SMADVD bumped into OU Trantoshen and Muta. Instantly recognizing his old enemy, SMT punched OU Trantoshen in the face and kicked him in the chest.[23] OU Trantoshen responded by leaping over SMT and engulfing him in a fire blast from above,[24] which caused him to collapse.[25] Sensing that SMT was perhaps gravely injured, SMADVD grabbed him and escaped with him by running into a portal.[26]
Far Future[edit | edit source]
SM Trantoshen lived for many more millennia and retired from the public eye around the time of F-Klak's rise. Soon after, the evil Toa made a deal with a group of alien mercenaries who would capture and sell slaves on his behalf, allowing him to live comfortably. Unfortunately, one of the slaves was a Skrall named Sal'e, who ended up joining the resistance movement against F-Klak. With her new friends, Sal'e returned to the Shattered Mirror Universe and killed Trantoshen in his home.[27]
Abilities & Powers[edit | edit source]
Kanohi Powers[edit | edit source]
- Mind Control: SM Trantoshen could use his Kanohi Komau to look into the surface level of the mind of a living being and control their thoughts and actions. However, if the targeted being had a stronger will than that of SMT, they could break free from the mask's influence.[28]
Elemental Powers[edit | edit source]
- Ice Creation: SM Trantoshen could freeze things or create constructs of ice by projecting elemental Ice energy directly from his hands.[28]
- Ice Control: SM Trantoshen had complete control telekinetic control over all frozen liquids, but could not control liquid that had yet to be frozen.[28]
- Ice Absorption: SM Trantoshen could absorb certain amounts of ice into his body, which then became stored for use in future elemental attacks.[28]
- Ice Nova Blast: In extreme circumstances, SM Trantoshen could have released all of his elemental energy in the form of an Ice Nova Blast, which would have been an explosion of ice energy large enough to freeze an area the size of a large city.[28]

However, this was a trick to get Trantoshen to help him in his successful attempt to take over Destral. The two Trantoshens began fighting each other, but this fight was forgotten when SMY's forces attacked. Despite SMT's armies of Bohrok and Visorak/Rahkshi hybrids, SMY still managed to break into the fortress and attack Trantoshen. SMT then ended up being dragged into the path of a raging Tahtorak. He used a Komau to force the Tahtorak to attack a Zivon, but was crushed in the process and recovered by Spiriah. Afterwards, SMT sat up and thanked Spiriah, but then something quite random happened: three people called Breakout, Barrack and Brawler from the Eternal Universe appeared and found Trantoshen to be in violation of something called the Universe-Travelling Restriction Act 1999, threw him in a portal, and disappeared."

The OoMN member was fried by Sasuken, giving Ynot the chance to kill The Enlightened One and use Shadow Leeches to turn his "Light Hunters" into the Dark Hunters. He then took over Daxia. He then had a little fight with Trantoshen for control of Destral, won, and enjoyed ruling the MU."
