Race: robot
Age: ?
Weight: 1703kg (amazingly he does not break the floor when walking)

Story:

Nobody really knows where TAP came from. Some say he's a robot made from a joint project between Ferrari, Lanborghini and Porsche; an action figure that due to some lazy worker's lack of attention, got built out of scale and strangely alive; an alien that came from Pluto to teach humans how to live peacefully; an ancient god found in an egyptian pyramid; etc.

Regardless of where he came from, one thing is for certain, TAP lived many years as a human working at a construction company, other than being a prized worker due to his optional arms (many of them featuring construction tools), nobody noticed anything weird, he even had couple girlfriends in that period.

One day, Mia met TAP at a construction site and, after exchanging rude acid words, they came to recon each other's ability to be a complete a-hole and actually became friends, this is how Black Hole Sun started, since TAP was just the brawls Mia needed.

Just like Diavolo, TAP acts mainly at night.

Personality:

TAP is sarcastic and rude more than anything else. Despite being unable to show emotions through speech or expressions, he does feel them. However, is unable to feel long-term emotions such as love or hatred (though he can understand them).

He believes that everything can be solved with muscles and, quite obviously, is not much of the strategist, the best he could plan on would be throwing something heavy at an enemy located at distance. This said, he is completely aware of the fact that Mia is much smarter than him and her plans are awesome, so he follows her orders without much questioning even if it means endagering himself.

Other than actually being friends with and caring about Mia, TAP does have some sort of personal agenda at Black Hole Sun: he just discovered that he enjoys chaos, mayhem and destruction much more than construction labor.

Powers:

He has enough strength to lift a small building (and hurl it), his armor is made of an unknown alloy (only TAP knows how to make it) and so, is immune to all known acids. It's durability is about the same of a tank's carapace, but in his torso, shoulders and arms, where the concentration is higher, the durability is much higher. Overall, he is sturdy enough to receive a nuke heads on and remain functional (though badly damaged).

Also, as said before, he has many optional accessories, all stored inside his body he has things such as a hammock arm, rocket backpack, a rotor backpack, cannon arm, etc.

He can also transform into a ball mode, in this mode he is even closer to indestructible (since he has no more vulnerable parts showing) and with the hook arm, he can work just like a wrecking ball.

As a last "power", since he has apparently lived in Italy for his whole life, he is an expert cook of any itallian traditional dish, his favourite being lasagna (even though he can't eat any of them due to his lack of mouth or digestive tract for that matter).

Weaknesses:

Decapitation and complete obliteration.

He is also a simpleton and as such, it isn't incredibly hard to lure him to traps, though due to his "intelligence" for sarcasm it's not so easy to fool him into submission.

Equipment:

Many optional parts, all inside his body for him to use whenever he sees fit; but more often than not he resolves everything with his fists.

TAP is not Diavolo's sidekick, they're partners and as such, are usually seen together. Even when they're not directly together, Diavolo usually is around.
