The franchise has a ton of crazy and colorful characters

Gearbox Software has revealed that Claptrap, Krieg and Tiny Tina are the most popular characters in the Borderlands franchise, according to a survey conducted by the company.

The news comes from the official Borderlands Twitter account, showing that having a colorful cast can really pay off in the long run. The acclaimed role-playing game / first-person shooter series has a ton of zany characters, ranging from cute and cuddly or deluded to downright psychotic.

Claptrap has been one of the most divisive characters by far, with his incessant yammering and delusion of grandeur earning him a lot of detractors, but his constant presence in every installment in the series has apparently earned him quite a following.

Claptrap "the Fragtrap" is also one of the playable characters in the recently released Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, showing his glory days alongside Athena "the Gladiator," Nisha "the Lawbringer," and Wilhelm "the Enforcer."

Tiny Tina is a pretty important non-playable character in Borderlands 2, with a lot of wisdom to share when it comes to the proper use of explosives, while Krieg is a sad tormented Psycho, whose story you can see in the video below, and whom you can play as by purchasing the Borderlands 2 Psycho pack DLC.
