Green Trap Jaw in MOTUC

**TJRules** · November 27, 2011, 12:55am

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!

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.

**Dark Sorceress** · November 27, 2011, 04:12am

i would love to get him in green and the yellow mini comic one

**Killian** · November 27, 2011, 05:40am

I'd be up for it! Would make him visually different from Kronis!

Next to 'inverted' Stratos, the green Trap Jaw is the best example of how cool and important DCU/MOTUC 2-packs were.

Sign me up for one

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 !!!

**Mern-Ra** · November 27, 2011, 10:44am

Yes please! He's one of the only straight repaints I want, and I want him bad!

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

**baronterror** · November 30, 2011, 05:17am

you know, I kinda support this. I dont really need it, but it is a cool idea, I do remember seeing this image and thinking something was wrong with the toy (never smart enough to recognize the differences or remember what they were) because I saw this first I think.

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.

**kylun flac** · November 30, 2011, 06:51am

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.

**Ibentmyman-thing** · December 9, 2011, 10:17pm

Major league want of mine.

**EldestSon** · December 9, 2011, 10:56pm

i wish they would release this and red beast man in a motuc mini-comic repaint 2 pack.

**TJRules** · December 13, 2011, 10:53pm

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.

Absolutely agree! Always need more love for the real mini-comic Trap Jaw.

'green' Trap Jaw requires:

- furry shorts
- He-Man legs and boots
- human left arm with new bracer
- Ram symbol belt - not skull and crossbones
- box-style arm-canon (non-removable - there is no evidence in the mini-comics that green Trap Jaw could replace his laser canon with hook or claw)
- 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.

**Uki** · December 19, 2011, 08:12am

True, but for some it'd be "good enough."

**Jean** · December 19, 2011, 04:26pm

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.

**Uki** · December 22, 2011, 08:18am

Theoretically, of course.

backatcha...

**marndt8448** · December 23, 2011, 06:17pm

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...

**Berserker79** · December 29, 2011, 07:38pm

I would buy one, if some new attachments would be in!

**Uki** · December 29, 2011, 07:43pm

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