shadowtrap has to be able to at least effect events outside of claptrap’s subconscious, remember he did revive real life claptrap, unless that was a claptrap hallucination too.
Wait maybe shadowtrap is claptrap’s inner personality, That could be a new skill for claptrap, when activated he turns into shadowtrap
Maybe Claptrap died, allowing Shadowtrap to take over the system. Maybe he’s been playing the fool this entire time. It would certainly explain why he was on the HSS Terminus before the events of Hammerlock’s DLC.
They need to create a NEW Shadowtrap for Borderlands 3 as a playable character or something. Shadowtrap is the best Claptrap unit introduced to the Borderlands series. We need him back!
