Clamp Down is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The reason Red Alert is paranoid.

Assigned to an Earth police force as part of an exchange program along with his brother Deep Cover, Clamp Down is a tough, dedicated cop who works tirelessly along with his human partners. Uncomplicated in his way of thinking, the straightforward, sometimes black-and-white, view he has taken thanks to the Autobot/Decepticon war occasionally clashes with the views of his new co-workers, not to mention the legal system.
