- “Dino Might!”
- —Chopper's official catchphrase
Chopper is a T-Rex who is one of the 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 tried 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. 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.[2]
Background
Personality
Chopper might be a little guy, but he's got big ideas. His passion and bravery always impress his teammates.[3]
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!
Story
The Kaos Trap
Chopper was the only experienced Skylander onboard the Dread-Yacht when Flynn was transporting the Minis to the Skylanders Academy. The young dinosaur noticed a dazed Flynn walking right off the ship and quickly jumped after the Mabu pilot to catch him. Unfortunately, Flynn proved to be too heavy for Chopper, and they both landed in the snowy area of the Boney Islands. They eventually ended up crashing into the Skylands Museum, where they activated a holographic message from Eon explaining to them about the history of the Skylanders and how they were first banished to Earth.
When Flynn received a bonk on the head, he recovered from his dazed state and frantically explained to Chopper that Kaos was impersonating Weeruptor aboard the Dread-Yacht and was planning on ruining the Skylanders Academy. Flynn and Chopper uncovered a nearby Autogyro and used it to fly out of the warehouse and make their way to the Academy. On their way to the Skylanders Academy, the pair came under attack by a horde of Troll Bombers. They were eventually rescued by the combined efforts of Cali, Tessa, the real Weeruptor, and Wildfire. As the group arrived at the Skylanders Academy, Kaos was already being driven out of the school by Food Fight.
