Trypticon for Champions RPG!

This one came in VAY over 250 points, but I still had fun converting it. It's
Trypticon, the Decepticon mobile attack base/dinosaur/repair station juggernaut!
I based him more on the comic book version of Trypticon, where he seems a bit
smaller, and much smarter, then the TV show one, where he is stupid and the size
of Manhattan.

Explanation of the conversion: This conversion of Trypticon more represents
him as he appears in the Transformers comics, where he is smaller and
smarter than he is in the television series. Weapons marked with a 1 only
work in dinosaur mode. Those with a 2 only work in battle station mode.
Those with a 3 only work in repair base mode.

History: Trypticon doesn't stop blasting away until he's wading hip-deep in
smoking rubble. He's the most efficient, lethal fighting machine yet
devised by the Decepticons. He is completely without mercy or remorse. The
only emotion that he is programmed to display is hatred. He hates everyone
and everything. This feeling is always present; it only varies in
intensity. He restrains his loathing for his fellow Decepticons enough to
be minimally cooperative, but his hatred for Autobots knows no bounds.
Humans do not inspire such strong feelings in him; he considers them
barely worthy of his attention, but he also thinks they get in the way too
much. Without blinking an optical module; he would level an entire city
just to get a clear shot at an Autobot. He is supremely confident in his
abilities, but unsure of the Decepticons' goals. Although he believes he
will one day rule the Decepticons, he has so little use for anyone else
that this prospect barely has any appeal to him. Trypticon makes no
attempt to hide his feelings... except to himself. He can't admit to
himself that his hatred for others is a mask for his own self-loathing.
He'd rather be doing anything other than what he does. He secretly finds
warfare boring and pointless, but he accepts the fact that fate has forced
him into this role of the ultimate warrior... and nobody does it better!

Trypticon is teamed up with Full-Tilt, who acts as a scout and messenger.

Trypticon has no real known weaknesses. He is very large and would find it
hard to be stealthy, and requires sufficient energy to operate at full
capacity.

Powers: In dinosaur mode, Trypticon has incredible strength and is
virtually impervious to attack. A rocket backpack allows him to jump a
distance of 20 miles. He can shoot heat-seeking plasma bombs from his
mouth and he carries a particle beam cannon within his sinus cavity. His
optical sensors shoot high frequency hypno-beams. When locked on to the
eyes of another Transformer, these beams carry powerful electromagnetic
currents that can override their target's own mental processes, allowing
Trypticon to control that Transformer. If the intended victim is
strong-willed enough or manages to turn away from Trypticon's gaze quickly
enough, he can avoid this fate. When in dinosaur mode Trypticon commands a
smaller remote controlled tank unit called Brunt.

In repair base mode, Trypticon opens up to reveal landing and repair bays
and a communication center that includes antennae for local and interspace
transmissions. An anti-gravity repulsor disk at each end prevents anyone
from approaching closer than 1,000 feet unless Trypticon so chooses.
Rotating scanners on top of his assembly can blast a hole through a city
block of buildings. In this mode he can combine with Motormaster and
Onslaught to form an even larger repair base.

In mobile battle station mode, Trypticon is perhaps at his most dangerous.
He has a range of 8,000 miles and can attain a speed of 800 mph. In
addition, he has a flashing laser cannon, rotating blasters, destructo
beams, and dual photon launchers.
