  Claptrap gives one of the best speeches in Borderlands when he takes the Vault Hunter to Hero&apos;s Pass. &quot;You hear me Jack? You killed my friends! You destroyed my product line! I am the last Claptrap in existence. AND I AM GOING TO TEABAG YOUR CORPSE!&quot; Hell yes Claptrap- hell yes!

  Honestly, I always hated the way he is treated. I&apos;ve always loved the little goofball and wished I could have more interaction with him. I loved playing as him in the Pre-Sequel

  For all its flaws, Borderlands 3 had this moment I will never forget. It&apos;s after you come back from Athenas and there is this little scene where Claptrap welcomes Ava. To his surprise, she is a total fangirl and she asks him to tell more stories. It&apos;s double sweet because it means Maya actually included Claptrap when she told everything she did in Borderlands 2 without forgetting him and also because someone for once actually appreciates him for his actions. I always watch them walking away with a big grin and a teary eye.

  I&apos;m 100% convinced that if we told Claptrap that his friends need him to kill the Destroyer in its own prison dimension, he would do it within the hour and bring home its still beating heart as proof

  Shadow Trap giving his life to save Claptrap and give him another chance was easily the best dlc ending for this franchise. Shadow trap cared a lot about Claptrap and only wanted him to succeed and be treated properly and not constantly dumped on like in every other game. Claptraps are basically cannon fodder in every game and their corpses are everywhere. Shadow Trap is an underrated villain who was totally right about everything that would happen after his defeat.

  “If I sound pleased about this, it’s only because my programmers made this my default tone of voice! I’m actually quite depressed!”<br>That’s very crushing. He’s stuck with this happy, cheery voice, and no one realizes that he’s suffering due to said voice.

  Claptrap isn&apos;t ALLOWED character development. At one point in the Presequel, it looks like he&apos;s about to have an emotional epiphany, and we hear a voice say something like &quot;Warning. Unit has becoming sentient. Resetting to factory mode.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr39b1TYxxg&amp;t=1791">29:51</a> this wasn’t pointless. The Pearl is literally one of the greatest artifacts in all of bl3. It’s a great little troll by the developers by having claptrap achieve his goal and also give you an amazing artifact

  One thing people forget about claptrap in bl3 is that after the way veronica treated him, he went to help the player with the last mission of his list. In that mission he reignited this woman&apos;s love for dancing as she lost the use of her legs. It is because of claptrap that she is able to dance. I think this is the core aspect of claptrap, the fact that he does not let everything drag him down and still finds way to be positive.

  I love claptraps birthday bash mission. Whenever you&apos;re playing it with people it&apos;s really funny, but when you play that mission solo, it just feels a little personal with how palpable that awkwardness becomes
