Biography[]
Tri-Klops flying a War-Sled into battle
Tri-Klops took part in Skeletor's large scale attack on Castle Grayskull, leading a group of Skelcons while flying one-man War-Sleds. Tri-Klops appeared to be enjoying himself, until his vehicle was shot down by Man-At-Arms and the Royal Guard who arrived to join the battle flying on their Sky-Sleds.[1]
Some time later, after magic had all but left Eternia and Skeletor and He-Man were thought to be dead, Tri-Klops took advantage of the situation by condemming magic alltogether and became a leader in the cult of Motherboard. Ironically, Tri-Klops used one of the few remaining magic items left on the planet to perform the ritual miracles of Motherboard. During this ceremony, Tri-Klops would catch electronic looking water that sprang from a large altar inside Snake Mountain in a magic goblet and force his followers to drink it. By doing so, they would instantly transform into cyborgs, with various limbs being replaced by mechanical weapons.
Trap Jaw and Whiplash both joined Motherboard and received mechanical enhancements (in the case of Trap Jaw, further enhancements). They were also joined by the robotic Blast-Attak.
When the two mercenaries Teela and Andra were hired by an old lady who called herself Majestra to steal the magic goblet, they entered Snake Mountain by breaking through the walls of the trap door beneath Wolf Gate. Teela was surprised to find Snake Mountain filled with much more technology and the halls being patrolled by Tri-Klops' Doomseekers. The two women infiltrated the Motherboard ceremony dressed in pilgrim robes. After watching a pilgrim receive the mechanical blessing, Teela revealed herself, to distract the cultists from Andra as she moved towards the goblet.
The skirmish ended with Blast Attak unable to stop himself from exploding, allowing the two warrior women to leave the throne room. The explosion knocked out Whiplash, but Tri-Klops ordered the Doomseekers and even more cultists to go after the women.[2]
Despite the loss of the goblet, Tri-Klops continued his quest to destroy as many of the remaining magical items on the planet as possible. Driving a Roton, he travelled to the remnant of a magic fountain where many peasants stood in line to catch a few drops of the remaining magic water. Accompanied by many of his cult followers as well as Trap Jaw driving a vehicle equiped with a large crystal powered cannon, Tri-Klops ordered the destruction of the fountain.
Duncan, the former Man-At-Arms, was one of the peasants at the fountain, and began to fight the Motherboard cult. He was soon joined by three more arrivals, Teela, Andra and Evil-Lyn, who used her magic staff to blast Tri-Klops off his vehicle. One of the cultists used electronic cables to grab the heroic warrios, and when Tri-Klops walked up to Evil-Lyn and told her it was time for her to merge with Motherboard, the feral Beast Man arrived out of nowhere, feed the women and grabbed Tri-Klops by the neck. Although Tri-Klops claimed he had no quarrel with Beast Man, the Savage Henchman had sworn to protect Evil-Lyn and told Tri-Klops to leave or be killed. Tri-Klops chose the first option and retreated.[3]
The next target of the members of Motherboard was Castle Grayskull, which, bereft of magic had regained it's original form of the Hall of Wisdom. This time Tri-Klops ordered a fleet of Rotons to attack again and again, but Teela had forseen that Grayskull would be attacked and had asked Man-At-Arms to defend it. Duncan managed to stave off varous attacks until Teela and her companions returned from their trips to Subternia and Preternia, carrying the two halves of the lost Sword of Power as well as bringing back a resurrected Prince Adam. When Adam held aloft the sword and called upon the power of Grayskull, the Hall of Wisdom took on the visage of Castle Grayskull once more, and Tri-Klops immediately ordered his cultists to retreat.[4]
Skeletor, having returned from the dead and obtained, then lost the Power of Grayskull several times, finally returned to Snake Mountain, and was appaled by what he found there. He attacked Tri-Klops and the Acolytes with his Havoc Staff and blamed them for not abandoning him. Tri-Klops claimed that Motherboard had made them do her bidding. Skeletor decided to destroy the statue of motherboard, but the blast he released from his staff shattered against a powerful forcefield. The statue of Screeech then began to transform into a large female form. Tri-Klops, Trap Jaw and several acolytes grabbed Skeletor and took away his staff. Various tentacles emerged from the statue's outstretched fingertips and began to infect Skeletor with her techno-virus. Then a small projector appeared on Motherboard's forehead, and an image appeared of the logo of the Evil Horde, a faction Skeletor had been a member of years before.[5]
