It's also good to have something very good and durable to protect yourself, in case you ever get attacked by surprise or if you need to make space between yourself and the enemies, and this was a very good lesson Tyler learned once.
In the past, while exploring the abandoned laboratory, there were a lot of different traps set, to deter somebody from going inside, from the old fashioned ones, to the more modern ones and even some magical ones, so Tyler most of the time either get pass them or simply avoid them, but when neither of them are available, he needs to take them head first, so it's good that he was able to previously aquire a very good DNA of a very powerful insect species, the Diabolical Ironclad Beetle, from one of the rooms he previously went through and found different bug specimens, used by the scientists that once worked here.
When changing into one, Tyler becomes more insect-like, gaining a very durable exoskeleton, that is almost completely indestructible, but also other benefits as well. So when he sees a powerful trap in the front, he always changes into this species, to withstand the blast from the trap wnd while doing so he likes to pose, showcasing his strength.
