Clampdown (G1)

Clamp Down is an Autobot in 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.

Toys

Generation 1

• Clamp Down (Autobot, 2003)

Japanese ID number: 91

An e-Hobby exclusive available only in a set with Deep Cover, Clamp Down is a repaint of the original Red Alert toy, transforming into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S, using the exact same base plastic colors, but with different paint and decal applications to make him into a police car. As he was released in Japan, his spring-loaded missile launcher is fully operational. Several factory-applied decals on the original version were replaced by painted tampographs, like his headlamps.

The base mold is also used for Sideswipe,Deep Cover and Tigertrack.

Trivia

• Clamp Down's deco is based on the pre-Transformers Diaclone toy that became Red Alert, the "New Countach LP500S Police Car Type".
