Trap was green in the original mini comics and was made in the 200x line as a green variant. Show your support for a green Trap Jaw in MOTUC! :tjgrin:
Mini comic lovers, show some love!
Here's a pic for reference:

Sadly this one might not be as easily done now that the comic packs are dead! Would have been a perfect place for him.
Still, I think this would be fantastic if he wasn't a straight-up repaint. His mechanical parts were a bit more boxy in the original artistry, and he was wearing the furry boots. I think there were a few other minor differences as well. I would LOVE a direct recreation of that one! All the unique parts and everything.
i would love to get him in green and the yellow mini comic one
I'd be up for it! Would make him visually different from Kronis!

Sign me up for one :hmgrin:
I would love to see this made with a Bio-Canon explanation: perhaps he could be a zombie-esque, risen from the dead Trap Jaw in the Bios. (Of course, you can use him however you'd like- I just like having in-canon reasons for different looks: TRU Mer-Man is Squiddish's loyal toady, reversed colors Stratos is another Avion warrior...)
I miss the TRU sets... :(
In any event: YES!
Maybe we could get a set (SDCC?) of minicomic versions: Orange Stratos, green TJ, red Beast Man...
They could go with "Oo-Lar" and our Skeletor's sporting the Alcala head!
I'm all for this, but Skeletor needs to have a different pair of feet as well !!!Quote:

Totally agree. Make it totally unique, rather than a straight repaint. Good ideas, Alexx!Quote:

With the different parts and repaints, I think it would be pretty cool, if It could be explained. "Battleground" Trap Jaw?
I would want a new belt with instead of the skull, the ram's head like that image seems to have. I dont need boxier robo-arm, but I'd take it.
i dont see it happening. i would buy another tj & paint him up.
I see it happening if he was released like Temple of Darkness Sorceress. Aside from the missing white Zoar and her costume, Temple of Darkness Sorceress was very well received.Quote:

That would be awesome. Red beast man and greenish/yellowish Trap-Jaw 2 pack.
There's a lot of differences between mini-comic TJ and MOTUC TJ. Furry boots, no thigh armor, and his belt and even bionic arm are different.Quote:

- new head with ear protrusions and a more organic-style jaw that connects to his neck.
There is a bit of discussion and mock ups of this character in the following thread:

As has been noted, green Trap Jaw done properly is not a straight repaint. :skwink:Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing green Trap Jaw but I would prefer it if he wasn't part of the subscription. Personally I would really love to see a 3-pack of mini-comic inspired Trap Jaw, Beast Man and Stratos offered outside the sub.
Kind of like repainting He-Man to make Faker? Theoretically, that should be "good enough" as well. J/k. :tjwink:Quote:

I'd definitely want one, as long as he looks like the min-comic pic TJRules posted. i.e. furry boots, bare legs & bare left arm.
I'm not interested in one that's just repainted green skin like the 200X repaint basically was.
Another Trap Jaw variant I'd love to own is a Filmation repaint with the maroon-ish legs & right arm.
Mattel, please listen to Uki: this would be a dream come true...Quote:

New attachments are always welcome! Then, future Weapons Paks can have repaints for Roboto and original recipe Trap Jaw!
