Tiko
,Text replacement - "(Reboot)" to "(Generation 2)"
A former member of the [[Supreme Council]] who created the [[V Virus]] as an alternate energy source for Vestroia than constant battles. But it went defective and corrupted him, granting infective powers of turning Bakugan into [[Bakuzon]]s.
After the [[Great Collision]], he kept hidden in [[The Maze]], where he infected the [[Core Cells]] as a way of debilitate the energy of [[Vestroia (RebootGeneration 2)|Vestroia]] and Earth. In one of his encounters with the [[Awesome Brawlers]], he managed to control [[Benton Dusk]], where he used him to take [[AAAnimus Inc.]] and making a way of getting more Bakugan for his Army. He got healed in the final season by [[Drago (Dan Kouzo)|Maximus Dragonoid]], eliminating the V Virus and putting him into rest.
He returned in ''[[Armored Alliance]]'', where he avoided to being captured by [[Haavik]] just to force-fuse him with [[Sabrus]]; and later stop [[Garillion]] from separating both planets.
===Background===
===''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]''===
Tiko appears as a shadowy shape-shifting figure in the dreams of [[Dragonoid (RebootGeneration 2)|Drago]] and the other AO Bakugan and overpowers them until [[Pyravian]] saves them. The Bakugan then wake up wondering if their nightmare was real.<ref>''[[Midsummer Nightmare]]''</ref>
Tiko makes a second appearance in ''[[Maze Daze]]'' when [[The Awesome Ones]] fall into a mysterious cave. The brawlers encounter [[Strata the Hunter]] and his Krakelios until Strata flees. A dark goop then falls and forms into dark tentacles and later into a shadowy [[Trunkanious]] Bakuzon controlled by Tiko. The Awesome Ones and their partner Bakugan combine their power and defeat it.
Tiko's [[Trunkanious]] Bakuzon reappears several times when [[The Awesome Ones]] are exploring the sections of [[The Maze]] and disappears after fighting the AO Bakugan. He eventually reveals himself to Drago and the others and puts up a strong fight against Drago, swallowing his Twisting Inferno and brushing off other attacks, he eventually retreats once again.
The Awesome Ones reach a mysterious section of The Maze with a golden ball, Tiko reappears to claim this ball of light, which is actually a Core Cell. Tiko struggles to enter the Core Cell, but eventually penetrates it and goes inside, with Drago coming after him. [[Dan Kouzo]] and Drago find themselves in an area with golden balls of light (the light of the Core Cell), but Tiko appears and turns the light into darkness. Dan comes up with an idea for Drago to absorb the light in order to power up similar to how BakuCores power up Bakugan. Drago absorbs the light and then evolves into [[Hyper Dragonoid (RebootGeneration 2)|Hyper Dragonoid]], but Drago suddenly remembers that this dark golden Bakugan is actually named Tiko. Drago uses his powers to unleash a powerful fire attack against Tiko, the blast causes an earthquake in the real world (above ground) and causes a flashing hexagon to appear in the sky. The commotion scares the civilians and gets the attention of [[Philomena Dusk]] and [[Benton Dusk]], who wonder why this disturbance happened.
Hyper Drago unleashes a fire attack that takes the form of a dragon, this attack engulfs Tiko and causes him to scream from the damage and seemingly destroying his body.<ref>[[Core Cell (episode)|''Core Cell'']]</ref>
