“Dino Might!”
    —Chopper's official catchphrase

Chopper is a T-Rex who is one of the new core Tech Skylanders in Skylanders: Trap Team.

Character Development

Chopper started out when Nat Loh, one of the game designers of Toys for Bob, asked if I-Wei Huang could make a Tech T-Rex with mounted guns. Being an avid dinosaur fan, I-Wei was in love with the idea of a T-Rex in Skylands, but couldn't determine how to make a T-Rex Giant work. As T-Rexes are more horizontal than vertical, it wouldn't play nicely when trying to fit onto the portal with other toys. The development team had problems trying to fit Chopper in the blister pack package, but it was difficult with him being so horizontal. In the end, they tried other ideas for the Tech Giant, and eventually ended up with  Bouncer.

In development of Trap Team, I-Wei decided to having another go at creating a T-Rex Skylander, and made Chopper as stubby as possible. However the mounted cannon didn't flow well, and would cover up much of him, including in-game. I-Wei doodled a bunch of ideas for different weapons and abilities. Chopper's final form is "a T-Rex with Helicopter, Mech-Suit Legs, and Missiles", drawing in I-Wei's inner child.[1]

Background

Biography

Growing up, Chopper was much smaller than the rest of his dinosaur kin. But this didn’t bother him because he had big ideas. Ahead of the annual hunting competition to honor the village idol, Roarke Tunga, Chopper spent weeks building himself a super Gyro-Dino-Exo-Suit. When the competition began, he took the air – firing his missiles and chomping everything in his path. With Chopper on the verge of victory, the competition came to a sudden halt when the nearby volcano erupted, flooding the village with lava. Seeing the residents of his village trapped, Chopper quickly flew into action. One at a time, he airlifted everyone to safety. And was even able to save the village idol. For heroically using his head, Chopper was made a Skylander!

Trivia

  • Chopper is the first dinosaur Skylander who is not of the Earth element.
  • He was originally set to be the Tech Giant of Skylanders: Giants, but as T-Rexes are more horizontal than vertical, Chopper didn't fit onto the portal with other toys. His successor is Bouncer.
  • His name and species may have been a reference to Chomper from the Land Before Time series.
    • He also bears a resemblance to the baby T-rexes from Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
  • He and Chop Chop are the only Skylanders who have the word "Chop" in their names.
