Revision as of 08:25, 11 February 2013
General Traag (also known as General Tragg or Captain Tragg) is the second in command of the Rock Soldiers from Dimension X. He is loyal to Krang.
Bio
As unstoppable as a landslide, General Traag, leader of Krang's Rock Soldier armies in Dimension X, has one thing on his tiny mind - demolish Turtles. Summoned by Krang to exterminante the Turtles and prepare the way for an invasion from Dimension X, General Traag is grinding like a glacier over everything in his path.
This stone-cold killer digs through solid rock with his Anti-Turle Combat Knife looking for Turtles. In a battle of wits, he may be unarmed but beware of his Laser Blaster. You are in for a shock should you end up on the wrong end of this atom smasher. Traag's Stunlaser gun leaves his enemies dazed, dopey and defenseless - perfect for Turtle shish kabobs or as victims for Krang's diabolical schemes.

After a small skirmish with the turtles, the Neutrinos teamed up with them. He and Granitor pursued the Neutrinos through New York City, despite the attempts by both the police and military to subdue them. They were even successful in driving the Ninja Turtles into a full retreat.

Though retrieved from the Westmore Research Center, the deadly device is eventually destroyed by the Turtles.
