See What It's Like to Take the Role of Claptrap in 'Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel'

The series' little icon is an explosive powerhouse.

In less than two weeks, players will finally be able to experience exactly what 'Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel' is packing. Though the game features a cast of well-known characters in new roles, the most iconic has to be Claptrap. Amazingly, the move from NPC sidekick to major player hasn't meant a weak, off balance unicycle with a tendancy to short-circuit. Instead, the little bot runs a beta version of VaultHunter.exe, which rather than cast Claptrap as a lesser team member, goes in the other direction and packs him full explosive force and over-the-top laser power. Still, Claptrap is a helper and can buff a team of Vault-Hunters, if players pursue that skill tree.
