* This troper believes Zer0 is a robot, not because he has three fingers and a thumb, not because there's a number in his name like so many other fictitious robots from sci-fi franchises, not because he speaks in ''haiku'' (a form of poetry whose symmetry a robot would no doubt find gratifying), but simply because, unlike his fellow Vault Hunters, he doesn't pant or wheeze after sprinting for long distances in-game.

[[WMG: A future game will have a team of Vault Hunters from previous games.]]
* As part of a larger concentrated effort to find more Vaults. My suggestions for representing Borderlands 1 would be Mordecai and Brick, since Lilith has transitioned to more of a BigGood role and Roland [[spoiler: is dead]], with these two being her two best men. Borderlands 2 would be represented by Maya and Axton filling in for the absences of the aforesaid Lilith and Roland, due to their similar roles. Even the Pre-Sequel could get in on it with Athena and Claptrap representing that game since [[spoiler: Wilhelm and Nisha both died during Borderlands 2]], Timothy is apparently MIA and Aurelia pulled a ScrewThisImOuttaHere. The absence of the other Vault Hunters could be explained by them on a different mission (or missions) elsewhere and this is just the team we're focusing (or would be released as DLC). I just think it'd be fun to have a party of Vault Hunters from all the previous games being on a team.

[[WMG: There used to be Male Sirens long ago but they were wiped out. Now, the only way they ''can'' exist is artificially.]]
Artifical Male Sirens are more like empowered humans rather than true Sirens, but hold very similar if very watered down versions of Siren abilities and less defined Eridian markings on their skin. They are created through a combination of blood transfusion, organ transplants and refined Eridium. Unlike their female counterparts, male sirens have issues controlling their powers correctly and are often intoxicated by them which leads to abusing their powers. This in turn makes them difficult to control which is why the Eridians wiped out the natural born males long ago.

And if Borderlands 2 was kind of like Borderlands the Presequel in the character interaction not being limited to just battle and idle chattiness, Krieg would have a lot to talk to Creg and to the coop partners and to everyone really, and especially Handsome Jack, as well as Buzz axe-ing Jackie boy or performing a "fatality", if you know what I mean. Bottom line Krieg would have a lot to say, Crieg as well, but not so much.

This whole society is going to be in deep shit if {{CorruptCorporateExecutive}}s can stay in power for eternity.

This way, even if Jack kept a backup body around (and why wouldn't he?) the next Jack will not be a significant threat (though I imagine the level heads at Hyperion would remove him from the network either way because they're not idiots).

Almost all of Pandora's wildlife and inhabitants are affected by edirium slag in some way, from skags to stalkers to rakks to the bandits. Badasses are super infused with slag. "Experience" that the player gains is actually accumulated slag buildup. The distilled slag from animal bites, stings and bullets being crapped out by the bandits or carried through their mutation exposure is far more potent in the Vault Hunters' bodies. The more slagged (tough) a monster or bandit is, the more experience (slag infusion) you gain. You are a Badass, just like all the others... only better.

[[WMG: The planet Pandora is the same one from ''Film/{{Avatar}}'']]
(Yes, I do mean that one)
The name is not a merely a matter of [[NamesTheSame Name's the Same]], but a twisted continuation of the first story. Eridium is actually an alloy of some sort with unobtanium (or hell simply a much cooler name for the same thing). After kicking all of the human’s off-planet, the Na’vii enjoyed a peaceful rebuilding of their society, with their new-found allies…for a few years.
Then the humans returned with bigger guns, larger mechas and nuclear warheads, having decided that peaceful co-habitation was completely impossible. After nuking the planet into a nuclear winter, massacring all survivors, and then aggressively strip mined, the place was left as a desolate wasteland that was inhabited by a handful of radioactively warped creatures that had gone insane and driven on by a lunatic Ah-wai. This is why Pandora [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou is so deadly]] to humans: revenge on anything who dares step foot on this planet.
The Eridians found Pandora as the perfect hiding place: an isolated, self-protecting vault that would hide their secrets indefinitely…until hundreds of years later an eager Dahl researcher rediscovered the notes of the planet Pandora and somehow connected it with the legend of the Vault. After managing to convince some higher-ups at a board meeting, the result are the VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} we know and fear.
