Wings Universe

[edit]

At the dawn of the Machine Wars, Clamp Down was a security officer operating on Cybertron. Dedicated to law and order, Clamp Down had no qualms about imprisoning fellow Autobots such as Gunrunner, Mirage, and Electro when they violated Cybertronian law. When generals Obsidian and Strika ordered all prisoners released who were willing and able to take up arms against Jhiaxus and his clones, Clamp Down very reluctantly did so. Even still, he tried to force a confession out of Mirage and Electro about their smuggling activities first, and refused to arm Electro with the sword he needed to focus his forestonite powers.

Despite his myopia in the face of open warfare, Clamp Down was named one of the City Commanders of Cybertron in defense of the oncoming invasion force. Termination Clamp Down was later present at the signing of the Pax Cybertronia at Autobot City, where he shook Starscream's hand. A Common Foe

Clampdown was one of the many Cybertronians who had been magically brainwashed by the evil King Sombra. During the final battle against Sombra and his minions, he deployed Clampdown and a number of other reserve soldiers to keep his attackers occupied while he charged up his next spell, but he didn't get far before Ravage and Applejack tripped him up. After Sombra had been defeated, all of his victims, including Clampdown, were returned to normal. Finale

  • Clampdown (Autobot Car, 2003)
  • ID number: 91
  • Accessories: "Automatic Hand Gun" rifle, missile launcher, 3 "Flashbang Grenade" missiles
Collector's Edition Clampdown is a repaint of the original Red Alert toy, based on the pre-Transformers "New Countach LP500S Police Car Type" Diaclone toy that became Red Alert. Recursive! He transforms into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S (obviously), using exactly the same base plastic colors as Red Alert, but with different paint and decal applications to make him into a Japanese police car. Several factory-applied decals on the original version were replaced by painted tampographs, like his headlamps. Some of the deco was also altered away from its Diaclone design to be Transformers-specific, namely putting the Autobot sigil in his hood/chest badge and replacing all instances of "Diaclone" text with "Cybertron". As he was released in Japan, his spring-loaded missile launcher is fully operational.
He was only available in an e-HOBBY exclusive set with Deep Cover; both toys were separately boxed but could only be bought as a pair. Pre-orders for the set closed on January 10, 2003, with the toys shipping out in March.
The base mold was also used for Sideswipe, Deep Cover, and Tigertrack.
