Clank

Clank is Ratchet's small robot sidekick throughout the Ratchet & Clank games, with perhaps the exception of Ratchet: Deadlocked. While his complete serial number is unknown (only the first part is disclosed - B5429671) it is learned from Big Al at the latter's Roboshack that Clank is a standard model 7.66 and that he runs on XP18 sisterboards. The name "Clank" emerged when Ratchet made his handmade ship rock while flying to planet Novalis, causing the small robot to hit the side of the ship and making a clank sound.

Creation
Originally, Clank had been part of a production line of sentry-bots at the Robot Plant of planet Quartu, sentry-bots that were meant for Drek's assistance. However, due to what was believed to be a mishap, Clank appeared on the conveyor belt as a small, harmless robot, instead of a large, dangerous sentry-bot. Clank watched an Infobot video of Drek's plans to create a new planet using other planetary components, and was then forced to rush off Quartu - sentry-bots had begun chasing him, classifying him as an production error. Clank seized control of a spaceship and took off in space, but was shot down and crashed on the Kyzil Plateau of planet Veldin, where Ratchet found and took him back to his handmade ship. Clank told the lombax about Chairman Drek and informed him that he wanted to contact Captain Qwark - Clank believed that only the famous Captain may be able to stop Drek's menace over the galaxy. Clank proposed to start Ratchet's ship using his latest robotic ignition system, in exchange for a ride to planet Novalis so that he may begin to track down Captain Qwark. Later, it is revealed that the plant factory's motherboard had purposely created Clank in an effort to prevent Drek from destroying the entire Solana Galaxy. Her efforts proved to be worthy, when Ratchet and Clank defeated the Chairman on the latter's very own Deplanetizer back at the Kyzil Plateau of planet Veldin, where, ironically, the adventure had started.

Ratchet & Clank
When Clank was created on planet Quartu he found an infobot declaring Chairman Dreks plans for using Novalis to make part of his new world. Clank was then almost captured by a SentryBot and made a quick getaway jumping into a spaceship only to be followed by Electroids in spaceships who shot Clank down causing him to crash land on Veldin. He was eventually found by Ratchet. Clank then showed Ratchet the infobot and thought he should find Captain Qwark to try and help him stop Drek. He then made a deal with Ratchet that if Ratchet took Clank to find Qwark he would start Ratchet's Ship which was missing a robotic ignition switch. On the way to Novalis we discover that Clank's serial number is B5429671 and Ratchet calls him Clank for short. When Ratchet and Clank got to Novalis, Ratchet accidentally crashed the ship while landing. They then proceeded through Tobruk Crater where they eventually saved the Novalis Chairman from a prison ship. The Chairman then let the pair borrow a Courier Ship and gave them an infobot for Metropolis showing an advert for Al's Roboshack starring Qwark. Ratchet and Clank then went through the sewers where they met The Plumber for the first time, who sold them an infobot so he could get on an escape transport. The Infobot was for planet Aridia showing Skidd McMarxx and Skidd's Agent in a ship crashing towards Aridia. The pair then went to Metropolis where they went on Qwarks training course. Where Clank thought the Qwark Bot was Qwark himself. At the end of the course they had to buy the Swingshot off Helga. They also went to Al's Roboshack where Clank was equipped with the Heli-Pack. They also received a infobot for Eudora. They then went to Aridia and saved Skidd from Sand Sharks who then gave them a Z3000 Hoverboard. They then met Skidd's Agent who would represent Ratchet if he won a Hoverboard race. They then went to Eudora and confronted Drek's Robot Lieutenant who dropped an infobot for Blarg Tactical Research Station. Clank didn't want to go, but Ratchet convinced him when they found Qwark they could tell him where Drek was (when secretly Ratchet wanted to get some weapons). When they arrived at BTS Clank had to go on a mission by himself outside the airlock where he found a Hydrodisplacer. After destroying a Blarg Tatical Warship, Ratchet and Clank found an Infobot for Blackwater City which was under attack by Amoeboids. Here Ratchet and Clank took part in the hoverboard race and won. While on there way to the races they came across Shady Salesman Billy who wanted to trade a R.Y.N.O for Clank and Ratchet jokingly agreed. It was here that they first met Captain Qwark who claimed he knew about Drek's plan and wanted Ratchet and Clank to help him stop it. He told them to meet him at planet Umbris. When they arrived Qwark told them to complete his training course. When Ratchet and Clank completed the course they arrived at Qwarks HQ and Qwark was standing on a floating platform and told Ratchet and Clank to step into the "Ring of Heroes" and gullible Clank walked in and dragged suspicious Ratchet with him. It then turned out that it was a trapdoor and Ratchet fell to the ground while Clank used his Heli-Pack to glide down and landed on him. Ratchet angrily pushed Clank off and Qwark revealed that he was working for Drek and that he was going to kill them. Qwark then flew away and left them to Qwarks Blargian Snagglebeast which Ratchet and Clank defeated afterwards. They then found a infobot for Batalia showing The Commando requesting help as Batalia was being bombed by the Blarg. Ratchet then found one of Qwark's Tour Shuttles which he tried to start, so he could find Qwark, but Clank wanted to help on Batalia and the ship wouldn't work without Clank. So Clank agreed to start the ship if Ratchet went to help on Batalia. When they arrived the commando immediately ordered them to meet him at the city entrance. They then went on a nearby Grindrails where they came to a platform with The Deserter selling an infobot for Gaspar showing the testing of the Pilot's Helmet which Ratchet wanted to go there for and Clank wanted to go to find out where Drek was, but Ratchet then started to argue that all Clank thinks about is Drek. The pair then made it to the city entrance, but could not get in so the commando gave them an infobot for Orxon as a reward for making it that far. They then went to Gaspar and found the Pilot's Helmet. They then went to Orxon, but Ratchet could not leave the ship as it was to polluted. So Clank proceded through Orxon with the help of Gadgebots made it through the Kogor Refinery until he found a pair of Magneboots. The pair then returned to Batalia and went up a ventilation shaft to get into Fort Krontos and then found a heavy turret being maintained by the Plumber and he let Ratchet used it to blast the Blarg Heavy Bomber out the sky. The pair then returned to Orxon where Clank adventured further and found an infobot for Pokitaru and reluctantly showed it to Ratchet which ended in an argument when Clank wanted to go to get the O2 Mask while Ratchet wanted to go for a holiday. So they went to Pokitaru, Jowai Resort where they were greeted by the Jowai Resort Owner who promised to give them the O2 Mask if they destroyed the Blarg ships which dumping chemical waste into the ocean. When they got to the Jet Fighter Garage it was locked with a strange lock which the owner couldn't open. So the pair went to visit Bob who was near by and he fitted Clank with a Thruster-Pack. Clank then opened the lock with it so Ratchet could use the Blarg Fighter. After they destroyed the Blarg ships they received the O2 Mask and visited the sewers where they met a Gadgetron Gadget Engineer who was looking for a mysterious substance Clank identified as Raritarium and the engineer offered them his latest gadget the Persuader and Clank suggests Planet Hoven has some Raritarium. They then traveled back to Orxon again and Ratchet then traveled out wearing his O2 Mask and found an infobot for Hoven with Drek demonstrating his PlanetBuster Maximus which he was using to destroy a planet (later revealed to be Veldin) blocking the perfect orbit for his planet. So they traveled to Hoven and shot down the PlanetBuster with a old defense turret and an infobot who was hiding came out and showed Dreks plans to invade the planet Oltanis. Ratchet wanted to go to find Qwark and Clank wanted to go to find Drek and this resulted in a argument. They then went to Edwina's Roboshack where they met Edwina who took instant liking to Clank which made Ratchet jealous. She then equipped Clank with a Hydro-Pack for swimming underwater. They also met a Miner who broke his drill trying to drill through Raritarium and asked Ratchet for spare parts and Ratchet sarcastically offered Clank, but then Ratchet whacked the drill making it work again and the Miner gave him the Raritarium for fixing it. They quickly stooped in Pokitaru to exchange for the Persauder. They then went to Gemlik Base, Oltanis Orbit and missed Drek narrowly, but they decided to search the base. they searched until they found Qwark who was in a heavily armed starship and Ratchet and Clank found a Blarg Fighter and chased after Qwark until they shot him down making him crash land on Oltanis. Clank then admits Ratchets piloting skills are getting better and then they find a different more faster Blarg Fighter which had an infobot in it showing a news report for the invasion of Oltanis. After seeing this Ratchet admits he was being selfish for focusing on Qwark and the two became friends again. The pair then travel to Oltanis to see what they can do and as soon as Ratchet and Clank exit the ship Clank gets zapped by lightening so he stays in the ship while Ratchet explores. When Ratchet returns he has an infobot for Quartu demonstrating the Ulta-Mech Unlimiteds so the pair go. When they arrive they find an Giant Mech Scientist who was trying to destroy the mechs enlarging machine as he didn't realise he was working for Drek. So Ratchet offered to help and Clank went into the enlarging machine and became Giant Clank, a massive version thicker version of Clank with missiles and rockets and Ratchet on his back. Clank proceeded through the facility and fought many mechs and defeated them all. They then went back to the enlarging machine and went back into it hoping it would change him back to regular size which it does. The engineer meanwhile changed the machine so it would only work for Clanks circuit pattern (as Klunk could turn giant in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal). The engineer then gave them an infobot for Kalebo III, Gadgetron Site showing an advert for the Hologuise and the pair decide they need it. So they go to the Gadgetron Site and which was being invaded by Dreks Blarg Elite Guards so they had to fight there way through. While exploring they found a train rail which they used as a grindrail and at the end they ended up at the Help Desk Girls office and Ratchet hoped she was cute, but she turned out to be a robot. Clank then tried to flirt by saying "So You Come Here (Gadgetron Site) offen" and then he realized it was stupid as she worked there. They then proceeded into the Gadgetron CEOs office asking about the invasion and the CEO dismissed it and asked if Ratchet wanted to be in a hoverboard advert, but first he had to win a race. After Ratchet won the CEO immediatly pointed the camera at Ratchet making his nervous, so Clank took over saying "Yo Dudes, if you want the freshest board, then go for the Gagdetron Z3000 Hoverboard. Its so hot its cool." Afterwards the CEO thought he found the wrong guys, but he gave Ratchet a Hologuise. They then went back to Quartu and proceeded into the factory disguised as a SentryBot and made it back to the room where Clank was created and Clank was reunited with his motherboard who created him. MOM stated that she was proud of what Clank was doing and she gave him an infobot for Drek's Fleet showing Dreks plans to destroy Veldin with his Deplanetizer. After watching this Ratchet became extremely angry and said Drek is going to pay. This made Clank glad as he found the Ratchet that was always there. So they went to Dreks Fleet, Veldin Orbit and made there way through 5 starships until they got to Dreks Control Room with someone in his chair. Before Ratchet could attack it turned out to be an infobot. The infobot showed an advert for Blarg TV showing Drek getting ready to destroy Veldin with the Deplanetizer standing outside Ratchets house. Now that they knew where Drek was they were off to where they began. After landing next to Ratchets house they fought there way though Kyzil Plateau which was filled with Blarg Elite Guard's they made it to an enlargement machine and Clank turned giant and fought through elite guards and dropships until they found Drek. Drek was in his Ultra Supreme Executive Chairman Drek-Mech (Limited Edition). Clank then fought him for a little while until Drek used a weapon to make Clank shrink to normal size. So then they went after him as normal until they made it to the deplanetizer where it was revealed that Drek made his planet not for the Blarg, but for money and Clank got angry at this, but there was no time as Drek had pressed the button to start a countdown that would destroy the planet, but Clank used his Thruster-Pack to press a button that stopped it and Ratchet and Clank defeated him causing the deplanetizer to flip up making Drek go flying into his new planet apparently killing him. Now the deplantizer was pointing to the new planet and Clank and Ratchet had the idea of using it (and finally they were thinking the same things). So they hit the button and the planet exploded causing comets to fall on them sending Ratchet and Clank over the edge. Luckily Clank grabbed a ledge very high up and Ratchet grabbed onto his foot breaking the servos in Clanks arm. Eventually they fell and Clank saved Ratchet with his Thruster-Pack making them glide right down near Ratchet's House. Ratchet then walks away to his house, leaving Clank behind, but then Ratchet turned round and asked where he was going because they had to fix Clanks arm, so they walked away into the Veldin sunset. We then see Ratchet and Clank relaxing at there home watching a advert with Captain Qwark A.K.A "Steve McQwark" advertising the Personal Hygenator and it was apparantly doing disgusting things to Qwark as Clank flips up the remote and turns it off.

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
In the beginning of the game we see Ratchet and Clank doing an interview for Behind the Hero stating what they did after Chairman Dreks defeat and claiming not a lot has happened and Clank cleaned out his radiator core, since he had nothing else to do. But suddenly they were transported to a Megacorp ship where they were greeted by a hologram of Abercrombie Fizzwidget. He explained why he had brought them here because he wanted Ratchet to recover a stolen experiment which was stolen by a mysterious theif. Ratchet very much wanted to go on this mission as he would get lots of commando training, but Clank didn't won't to do it, so Fizzwidget offered him a job as head accountant for Megacorp on Yeedil, a pent house suite in Megapolis and a daily massage. While Ratchet was at the Maktar Resort Clank was at his aparment when an Female Infobot who had taken a fancy to Clank knocked on his door, but then the theif came along and scared her away. When Clank opened the door the theif grabbed Clank by the neck and took him. Later on Ratchet was going to take a photo of himself when the screen he was using showed a clip of the theif having Clank strapped onto a table linked to a machine. The theif warned Ratchet that if he didn't leave the Bogon Galaxy he would do this to Ratchet and the theif pressed a button (after pressing the wrong one) causing Clank to deactivate. So Ratchet went to Megapolis and found a lifeless Clank and used his Electrolyzer to reactivate him. When Clank woke up he was about to reveal the final digit of pi, but was interupted by Ratchet. The two where then stuck in the room so Clank had to venture out himself through a small hole and then opened the door on the other side. Clank then decided he would help Ratchet. During there journeys between planets they watched episodes of Behind The Hero showing the story of Captain Qwark after Ratchet & Clank. Clank also seemed fond of a show called Robochef as he turned onto it after Behind the Hero. The two then went to Barlow to track down the Desert Riders. When they found a member of the riders he threatened to squash Clank, but Ratchet threatened him making the Rider cry, but Clank explained that they were only there to race. So the rider let them borrow his Hoverbike, "Bluebell". After the pair won the quliafeir the Rider gave Clank a helmet (although it was more Ratchets size) that showed they were official desert riders. The Rider then showed them an incoming message from the Thugs-4-Less Leader telling the Thugs-4-Less to rendevous at the Feltzin Space System. So they went there, but they were immediatly attacked by Thugs-4-Less Ships. So the pair were engaged in a space battle and they won. Afterwards Ratchet began shouting out he had "Mad Skills" causing Clank to give him a look of disbeleif making Ratchet redeme himself. They then inetrcepted a Movie for planet Notak featuring the Thugs-4-Less Leader. So they travel to Notak and narrowly miss the theif who was just taking off. Ratchet and Clank for the only time yet broke the Fourth Wall by looking into the camera and asking why they are always late. They then on to explore Canal City and eventully came to a factory. After fighting and swimming there way through the factory they met three Factory robots who only spoke in robot. Ratchet asked pathecaticlly if they had seen the theif and got no response, so Clank took over speaking in robot and he learnt that they had an order from the theif for numerous acids and the robots sold them a chance to see the clip. The robots then made a joke about Ratchet making Clank laugh and Ratchet annoyed. So the pair travelled to where the theif was on Siberius and the theif fought Ratchet and Clank on a train like vehicle which eventully crashed. They then fought the theif and reclaimed the experiment. The pair then contacted Mr Fizzwidget and he told them to meet him on planet Tabora. After they landed Fizzwidget landed his ship right on top of there ship. Fizzwidget told them not to worry as the ship was insured. Clank then gave Fizzwidget the experiment that had attached himself on Clanks head. The three then got into Fizzwidgets ship and when turning on the radio Fizzwidget (apparently accidently) pressed the eject button. Ratchet and Clank both went flying and landed in a cave. While trying to find a way out, they came across an Omniwrench 9000 in a glass case and a rock in another. Clank tried to figure it out as he loved logic puzzles, while Ratchet had already smashed the glass with his Omniwrench 8000 and claimed his new wrench. After they escaped the cave they were confronted with the theif who demanded the experiment. After saying they didn't have it the theif fell over knocking his mask off revealing a female Lombax. She then told them that they had put the galaxy in danger and she gave them a movie for the Dobbo Megacorp Testing Facility and flew off. They then found the broken remains of there ship in the hands of a New Age Mystic. The mystic claimed that he could repair the ship through the power of Desert Crystals so the pair go into the desert to find some. When they return with some the mystic repairs the ship effortly. The to then fly to planet Dobbo. After some exploring they come across the Mathematician who told them if they went to the nearby moon called Lunar City and fought against someone they could qualify for the Megacorp Games on planet Joba. Clank then found an Enlarging Machine and turned into Giant Clank and then flew to the moon with Ratchet on his back. When they arrived they found the challenger was the Thugs-4-Less Leader in a mech about the same size as Giant Clank. After a fight which nearly destroyed most of the city Clank defeated the leader, but not killing him. The two then returned to Dobbo where the Mathematician gave them the coordinates for planet Joba. They then entered the facilaty and found the computers core which wasn't working so they called a Matinence Bot who then flew away so the two followed it with the Glider. They then repaired the computer which charged them 10,000 Bolts to show a clip of the experiment. Angrily Ratchet payed and the two were shown a clip of the experiment eating its handlers. The pair then contacted Fizzwidget to tell him how dangerous the experiment was. Unfortunatly Fizzwidget seemed oblivious of Ratchet and Clank so Ratchet told him to meet at the Megacorp Deep Space Disposal unit at the Hrugis Cloud. Fizzwidget told them its heavily armed and the password was "Qwarktastic". The pair then went to Joba and battled there way through the native Joba Tribesmen until they came across Shady Salesman Billy who told them they needed a Levitator to get in. He then sells one to them and goes away. Ratchet then realises that the instructions are in Blargian so Clank walks of only to be stopped by Ratchet who quickly installs in into him (and in the process removes Clanks left arm), Clank then becomes proud and claims that Ratchet has got skills. After Ratchet gets into the stadium and wins prizes, the two go to the Deep Space Disposal and Clank puts in the password, but it doesn't work so the two have to hold off the defences until Fizzwidget arrived. But Fizzwidget didn't turn up as he was doing an advert for a Megacorp Armoury on planet Todano. They contacted him and he showed them the advert so the two thought they could find him on Todano. The pair explored the facality and found a die-hard Qwark Fan-Boy who hated Ratchet and Clank for humilating Qwark and would give them something if they found something to do with Qwark. Later on they found a screen where the theif was trying to contacting them. She revealed her name as Angela Cross and told them Megacorp was going to mass produce the experiment that they were now calling the Protopet and were going to sell it as a monster. Clank felt he had to stop it and asked her if she knew where Fizzwidget was. She told them to go to Planet Boldan where Fizzwidget was giving them out free if they still wanted to bother with Fizzwidget. So they there and it was revealed that the Thugs-4-Less were no longer with Angela, but working for Fizzwidget. After fighting through the thugs they found that it was only a Fizzwidget Bot there. The Thug Leader then came in and arrested Ratchet and Clank for trying to hurt Mr Fizzwidget. The Thug Leader then showed them where they were going, which was there new prison which used to be Angelas Flying Lab on planet Aranos. He showed them an advert which made it seem more like a holiday. Clank then asked whether they had vegetarian meals and made the Thug Leader get carried away talking and eventully takes them to the prison. In there cell Ratchet was trying to sleep while Clank was banging a cup against the forcefield. He had scanned the cell finding no way out. Until the Female Infobot that fancied Clank burst through a ventalition shaft and told Clank to follow. Clank then adventured with the help of Gadgebots and turned off the power to Ratchets cell so he could escape. Clank never met up with the infobot, but he was reunited with Ratchet in the hanger. The two explored the hanger and met the Plumber again who gave them a Qwark Statue in a pipe which they gave to the Fan-Boy for an Armor Magnetiser. They then find a communications screen showing Angela sneaking on board a Thugs-4-Less ship and being captured by the leader after pretending to be a cat. Clank then points out that she does a terrible Cat impression after Ratchet asked him what he noticed. They then go to the Thugs-4-Less Fleet on planet Gorn. After shooting down the ships and finding out they don't have Angela, they a communication from the leader telling them that if they don't leave he will kill them. Clank then realises that he gave away his location. The two travelled to planet Snivelak where they were confronted the Leader in a massive mech suit, with Angela in the middle in a cage. The two eventully blow up the leader with defense turrets and free Angela who stole a log entry from the leader showing planet Smolgs Megacorp Distribution Centre containing millions of Protopets. They went there while Angela went to Grelbin to find her old Megacorp ID Badge as she used to work there. At the centre they came across an intelligent Two-Headed Smolgian Snapper who wanted them to kill him. Clank then sympathises with him as he was built/bred for a race to destroy (Clank was supposed to be a SentryBot). So the Snapper sold Ratchet a news report by Darla Gratch for planet Damosel. The two then went through the centre until a Ballon-o-Gram landed near them. It was from Angela who told them to meet her on Grelbin. They also found a Hypnomatic part there. The two then went to Grelbin where they met the New Age Mystic who told them he would give them another Hypnomatic part for Moonstones. They then found some and got the part. The two then went to Allgon City on Damosel. Clank then found another Enlarging Machine and turned into Giant Clank and flew to Moon City. When he arrived he battled a Mothership that was invading the moon. After defeating it he received a Bolt Grabber for Ratchet. Ratchet then went down a Grind Rail and found another Hypnomatic Part and Clank did a dance which was a reference to Jak & Daxter when Jak found an object causing Daxter to dance in joy. Later on they met The Hypnotist who put all the Hypnomatic parts togther for them. After it was completed Ratchet glanced down to Clank and Clank told Ratchet not to dare (as the Hypnomatic hypnotises robots). They then returned to Grelbin where they battled through hoardes of Protopets and got to Angela's House. She apparently had the ID Card, but Clank pointed out it was acctuly a voucher for Groovy Lube so Angela went in again and found the ID card. The three then went to Yeedil and battled there way through all the defences when eventully they came to the Protopet Room, but they were stopped by the Female Infobot who showed a clip of Captain Qwark selling his Personal Hygienators and earning enough money to finace the return of Captain Qwark. She is then shot by Mr Fizzwdiget who unzips himself to reveal he is actully Captain Qwark. Qwark then claims that it was Ratchet, Clank and Angelas foult on live TV and uses Angelas Helix-O-Morph to try to fix the Protopets monsteristry, but it goes wrong and makes the Protopet turn into a giant mutant Protopet which swallows Qwark whole. Ratchet and Clank then fight and defeat it making it spit out Qwark and the Helix-O-Morph. Angela returns with the real Mr Fizzwidget and she looks at the Helix-O-Morph claiming it will take months to figure out what went wrong and Clank points out that the batterys were in backwards. While Angela turns all the Protopets normal, Clank finds the remains of the female infobot and Ratchet claims he can fix her. Later on Clank is in his apartment with the Infobot asking what she liked to do for fun and she showed a clip of something apparently quite rude.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
We first see Clank in his apartment in the Bogon Galaxy with Ratchet playing a chess like game. Clank makes a move which Ratchet claims is cheating and Clank explains that a Blargian Snagglebeast is allergic to Swamp Flies which flash to turns. Then a series called Secret Agent Clank appears on the screen. Its shows Clank dressed in a tuxedo (left) in Maktar Casino winning a game and a robot called Maximillian who appears to be losing. He then brings two Ninja-Bots into the room and Secret Agent Clank defeats them and electrocutes Maxmillian. He then exits the Casino with a female robot and asks Jeeves (played by Ratchet) to bring the car around without crashing it. Clank then claims that that episode was terrific and an annoyed Ratchet changes the channel. The pair then watched a news report where a Dr. Nefarious was using Tyhrranoids to destroy Veldin which made Ratchet compelled to go. Ratchet then went to his ship with Clank in tow. Clank then claimed that Veldin was in the Solana Galaxy (as they were in the Bogon Galaxy) and it would take them ages to get there. Ratchet then brings out his Gravometric Warp Drive and a worried Clank points out that it was made out of Blargian scrap metal and claims they were doomed. The two then race back to Veldin where they are greeted by the Galactic Rangers. Ratchet then fights his way through Veldin and eventully group with the rangers at a dropship. The two then receive a transmission from The Galactic President who congratulated Clank for his good work on Veldin (even Clank was on Ratchet's back all this time) and also seemed to think Clank really was Secret Agent Clank.

Unfinished

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Clank was aboard the Phoenix when DreadZone agents came to kidnap Ratchet. He was fitted with a Deadlock collar and was forced to become the Mission Engineer for Team Darkstar. Along the way, he helped Al with disabling the collars and formulating a plan to escape. He even went so far as to rescue Dallas and Juanita when DreadZone Station was about to explode. This is the only game in which Clank is not a playable character, though there is an "Alpha Clank" skin.

Facts

 * Clank is voiced by a man named David Kaye, who also voices a character named Blondie.
 * Clank seems to have had a love romance with a local robot in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, however she is nowhere to be seen in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be.
