Claptrap

Claptrap first appeared in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World as a quick cameo during Handsome Jack's first verse where he mopes that the latter wiped out his kind, though later got his own rap battle in Season 4 where he faced off against Ghost. In his debut, he was voiced by Henry Navarro while he was played by David Ohlsen in his own match-up.
==Information on the Rapper==
Claptrap is a central character and the designated mascot of the Borderlands video game series. He's a CL4P-TP general purpose robot, manufactured by Hyperion, who is programmed with an overenthusiastic personality that causes him to brag, yet also express severe loneliness and cowardice. https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Claptrap
==Lyrics (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World):==
He killed my entire robo-race!
==Lyrics (Ghost Vs. Claptrap)==
===Verse 1:===
Hello, Traveler… aw, what; I have to settle for the minion,
Who conscripts the dead and tags along for dreadful exposition?
When I Gaige what threat's posed, I observe this match as no Deathtrap for me:
It's veteran vault-hunter versus chatterbox phylactery!
I'm strapped with rhyming packages designed for prime delivery;
No monster from the Moon could summon up this kind of wizardry!
My Failsafe plot will knock your mood from cheery to depressed, man;
Break your heart and turn you blue like you're a legendary engram!
From the lineage of Diablo comes one clever little devil,
Here to splice together verses forged at the perfected level!
How can you expect your Bungie cord to save your stupid ass
When they dropped Dinklage from their history like Days of Future Past?
You've not a glimmer of a chance with my nine million dollar swagger;
Call me Crota: I'm your worst nightmare, about to drop the hammer!
Think your lyric-logic sharper still? You're killing me with laughter;
You're a smaller, duller Clank with less utility than Daxter!
===Verse 2:===
You're not built to roll with 'bots this boss; unfit for getting down.
Within my mind's ascendant realm, you'll be Eclipsed the second round!
Hop back inside your captain's pack, and don't expect an S.D.U.,
'Cause by the end of my attack, you'll be left begging for rescue!
You're spitting at the lowest tier; I've never seen a southern shelf.
What, did you pull a Grimoire with your punchlines; leave them somewhere else?
All that gear-grinding really grinds my gears; I'm not sure which is worse:
The beats your players go through weekly, or the Dreaming City's curse!
It's no denial: I'm unfazed by all the filth you're barking at me,
When it's spouted by the bastard spawn of Guilty Spark and Navi!
Each one of Pandora's quests does something wholly out the box;
I bet you would have someone fetch 140,000 rocks,
While facing the familiar four foe forces, season after season,
Your affairs with Taken more repetitive than Liam Neeson's,
And while yes, my problem-fix requests took seven years to answer,
Last I checked, your promised pyramids aren't getting here much faster.
===Verse 3:===
Never choking, even in a vacuum, I could go for days;
Once my cyclops-eye's set on you, it's like you've caught the Gorgon's gaze!
Your derivative monsters are whimpering germs; watch Vermivorous wolf down your whispering worm,
And as raid features go, that Leviathan's tame: there's world-eaters more dope in wack buy-the-win games!
I bust it like Ray Parker Jr.; see no reason I should fear ya'.
Just be seen and not heard, loser; leave the speaking to Sagira!
Her old flame from Firefly in your command team was a blessing;
Then, they offed him for shock's sake, and had you stand-in for his death scene!
==Trivia:==
*Claptrap switching voice actors between Season 3 and 4 of MERB could be a coincidence/reference to how his original voice actor from the first two games did not return for Borderlands 3 due to wage problems. https://www.eurogamer.net/heres-why-claptraps-voice-actor-has-changed-in-borderlands-3
*Originally, the proposed opponent for Claptrap's rap battle was going to be Klaptrap from Donkey Kong Country. https://molemanninethousand.tumblr.com/post/190967240948/molemans-epic-rap-battles-47-ghost-vs-claptrap
