Clocker was a champion racer back on Cybertron many centuries ago, running at breakneck speeds to the cheering crowds. But when the war for the AllSpark began, racing was no longer entertainment, it was survival. Despite the war's grim outlook, he refuses to let go of his positive and lighthearted attitude, but never stops taking his role seriously. Clocker continues to put his considerable talents to the Autobot cause, hoping that once the war was over and peace returned, he could go back to his true passion and race laps once again with his buddies.

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
