[edit] Logbook entry

"SYLUX's alternative form, the LOCKJAW, may consist of stolen prototype federation technology. It allows the user to transform into two tetracarbon ceramic-alloy blades joined together by an energy thread. Its principal method of attack is to weave a network of explosive trip wire"^[1]

[edit] Abilities

The Lockjaw is capable of laying energy bombs, similar to the Morph Ball, but unlike the Morph Ball Bombs the bombs of the Lockjaw do not explode quickly (after a certain amount of time the bombs have to discharge their energy and cease to exist). However, like the Morph Ball Bombs, they will explode and cause injury to enemies should they come into contact with them. What makes the bombs of the Lockjaw unique is the ability to string two bombs together to form a trip wire of sorts. If someone comes into contact with the wire he is hit by the bombs that were tied by the string. Even more unique is the ability for one using the Lockjaw to wrap his enemy with bombs. How to do to this is to lay two bombs, being sure that the bombs are within range of each other and that there are no obstacles between the bombs, and when an enemy comes by and he is in range you lay the third bomb which closes the net and deals a powerful blast which is an almost certain kill, dealing 180 damage. This technique is frequently called the "triangle nuke".

[edit] Flying-esque abilities

Laying the bombs repeatedly causes them to explode quickly and propels the Lock Jaw upward. A certain flying method can be executed by laying the bombs after running off of a cliff or going off the edge of a structure. If you continue exploding the bombs you will stay in the air until you overdo it and the bombs cease to refill in your supply. This is flying in a way. This technique is quite useful in multiplayer. In low gravity areas, when the bombs explode you are propelled even higher so keep this in mind while in combat.
