“Tread and Shred!”
    —Tread Head's official catchphrase

Tread Head is one of the new Tech Skylanders introduced in Skylanders: Trap Team.

Background

Personality

Tread Head prefers substance over style. It's what inside that matters the most. The outside is just for show.[1]

Biography

As an orphan from the Dizzying Dunes, Tread Head had always dreamed of racing. And after a summer of scavenging for parts, he finally managed to build a bike that would allow him to enter the local racing circuit. The other competitors laughed at the crudeness of his work, but Tread Head had built it for performance, not for style. So when the race began, he jumped out to a commanding lead. But as he entered a canyon, he suddenly found himself at a roadblock – of Goblin troops! Knowing the other racers were in danger, he pulled off the road and kicked up so much dust that the Goblins had no choice but to flee, allowing the other racers to pass safely. Tread Head may have lost the race that day, but he earned the respect of Master Eon, who would see to it that Tread Head would tread on evil wherever he goes!

Trivia

  • Tread Head is one of the few Skylanders to use vehicles as weapons (other examples are Sprocket and Fryno). However, he is the first and currently the only one to never get off his ride.
  • He and High Five both have a racing theme.
  • He is voiced by Sean Schemmel, who is the current voice actor of the Aura Pokémon, Lucario
  • The only time he is seen out of his vehicle is in his rest cutscene, where he gets out as it breaks down.
