Added DiffLines:

* FauxAffablyEvil: He has some charm and charisma, but it's fairly obvious from his smugness and callousness that Junior is just one more CorruptCorporateExecutive prick in the vast galaxy of Borderlands who cares only about himself, his stuff and getting more stuff for himself.

* DualWield: Badass Troopers use two Maliwan Blasters to fight you.
* DynamicEntry: Flash Troppers sometimes will just run up to your face and ''fly kick'' you.



* InTheHood: Badass Troopers sport a pretty cool hood + cape outfit.



* ProfessionalVoiceDissonance: They have voice modulators that slightly change their voices and make a bit more difficult to discern what they're shouting (or about to do) in the middle of a gunfight.



* PunchClockVillain: Played with, as a bunch of their dialogue makes it clear that they're only in the war for the money, but they're so amoral and vicious that they can only be considered slightly more well adjusted than the bandit populace.

to:

* TooFastToStop: Kill Flash Troopers by blowing up their backpacks and you'll see a hilarious death animation where the poor schmuck loses control of it and runs uncontrollably until they splat on a wall.
* PunchClockVillain: Played with, as a bunch of their dialogue makes it clear that they're only in the war for the money, money (even complaining they never got their bonus as they die), but they're so amoral and vicious that they can only be considered slightly more well adjusted than the bandit populace.


Added DiffLines:

* AreaOfEffect: One of the reasons Heavies are so annoying. Their attacks usually leave puddles of the element they wield that will deal constant damage to any player that steps on it.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Their backpacks/fuel tanks are their critical spots. Damaging it enough will cause it to prematurely explode killing the Heavy and damaging anything around it.
* BossInMookClothing: Badass Heavies are inordinately tough and without top grade equipment they take more punishment than anything short of a boss the game throws at you.


Added DiffLines:

* InASingleBound: Thanks to their equipment they can jump a frighteningly long distance to close in to their targets.


Added DiffLines:

* LightningBruiser: Tough to kill, packs quite a punch with their attacks and surprisingly mobile if they decide chase you down.
* OhCrap: If you manage to critically damage their elemental fuel tanks they'll realize how screwed they are before exploding in a rather spectacular fashion.


Added DiffLines:

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Trying to keep your distance from their elemental-throwers? Heavies will do a big leap to give chase.

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:She's actually the last surviving member of the Katagawa family, who wants to get away from her crazed brother and is willing to part with a family heirloom for being rescued from Tumorhead.]]

* RecurringBoss: You have to deal with him twice in the story. First indirectly as he controls Katagawa Ball and then [[spoiler:in a direct fight against Katagawa Jr. who'll be using a copy of [=Zer0=]'s suit.]]



* SmugSmiler: His portrait always has an obnoxious and condescending smirk, but this is by far the smallest reason to dislike this guy.
