Clocker is an Autobot from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family.
He can see you.

Many centuries ago, Clocker was a champion racer on Cybertron, running at breakneck speeds to the cheering crowds. But when the war for the AllSpark began, racing went from entertainment to survival. Unlike most other Autobots, Clocker has never let the war's grim outlook wear down his positive and lighthearted attitude. But don't think he doesn't take his role seriously, because he's as dedicated and skilled as the next 'bot.<ref name="TPB">The Reign of Starscream trade paperback bonus material</ref> Clocker hopes that once the war is over and peace has returned, he can go back to his true passion and race laps once again with his buddies.<ref>Transformers Scout Class Clocker packaging bio</ref>

Well, that's the "race laps once again" plan slagged...

Clocker and Jazz were being pursued by Bonecrusher, with Jazz half-dead due to not protecting his Spark Core properly—he would've been fully dead if Clocker hadn't saved him. Clocker ordered him to flee while he fought the enemy—the condition Jazz was in, "you're more hindrance than help to me". Clocker's shots barely affected Bonecrusher and by the time reinforcements arrived, he had been killed. Lost In Space 4: Jazz

Many years before the war, Clocker was a member of Optimus's Science Division, working on excavation site LT34 near the temple of Simfur. He was present when the team excavated an ancient relic and during the subsequent argument between Optimus and Protector Megatron. Defiance #1 After an alien attack he helped Warpath and Signal Flare search for survivors in the rubble. When Arcee found the body of one of the alien attackers, he helped her transport it back to Ratchet's lab for analysis. Later, he was present for Optimus' speech asking them to ignore Megatron's demand that all who are able to fight to join him in his vengeful attack on the aliens. Defiance #2

When Optimus' followers were declared traitors by Megatron's new Decepticon faction, Clocker became a member of Optimus Prime's Autobots. He was present when Ironhide, a disillusioned soldier, came to join the Autobots. During the subsequent civil war, he was chosen by Optimus Prime<ref name="TPB" /> to stay behind on Cybertron when the Ark went in search of the AllSpark, which the Autobots had ejected into space in a desperate attempt to give themselves a fighting chance. Defiance #4

Thousands of years later, Clocker teamed up with Crosshairs to lead an Autobot underground resistance.<ref name="TPB" /> He was the first Autobot to greet Arcee after her arrival on Cybertron; though she was at first surprised to see him, he later revealed that several Autobots were with him, and planning a raid on the temple at Simfur to save Elita-One, Signal Flare, Warpath, and Grindcore. He later joined the rest of the Autobots as they moved in on Simfur. The Reign of Starscream #4

Clocker accompanied Arcee, Crosshairs, Skyblast, and Armorhide to the Simfur temple while the others attacked Trypticon as a diversion. When Dreadwing betrayed Starscream, Clocker suggested that Breakaway's team shut down Dreadwing's drone army. During the subsequent battle between Starscream's loyalists and Dreadwing's traitors, Clocker and the Autobots fought their way through the warring Decepticons and linked up with Breakaway and Wingblade's team. They escaped just in time as the crippled Decepticon warship exploded over the city. The defeat of the Decepticons became the turning point of the war. The Reign of Starscream #5

Clocker accompanied Arcee and Breakaway on an unspecified mission. Their ship was shot down by Thundercracker and landed on an unknown planet. Arcee lost consciousness thanks to damage sustained in the crash, leaving Clocker and Breakaway to fight off the attacking Decepticon. When Arcee came back online, only Thundercracker was still functional. Tales of the Fallen #6

  • Clocker (Scout Class, 2007)
Part of the second wave of Target exclusive Scouts, Transformers Clocker is a redeco of the Cybertron-series Clocker toy, transforming into a Cybertronic open-topped race car, complete with driver's and passenger's seats. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into his rear assembly pops up a pair of thrusters with pull-out non-firing blaster barrels. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for robot mode. He also has a pair of removable side-pipes that can also be used as hand-weapons. He comes with a silver-bordered, black-plastic Speed Planet-style Cyber Key.
This toy was also sold as a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, as well as in Portugal's now-defunct Feira Nova stores.
This mold was also used to make Cybertron Swerve, and retooled to make the Timelines versions of "Axalon Cheetor" and "Unit 2" Tigatron. The mold was also used as the basis for the non-toy Maximal Command Security Force members. A rebranded version of this toy, without changes, was later released as part of the 2008 Universe line, as the Cybertron Clocker character again.
