About Clanker
The Clanker is Blockade Brigade's spokesrobot: a small dark robot with a blue screen for a face. Dry, polite, a little smug, and secretly very nervous.
Who he is
In the game he is an enemy, the Clanker: small, slow and very well plated, turning up from wave 6. He bolts fallen armour plates back on, UFOs rebuild him from scrap, and he has opinions about all of it.
Off the battlefield he is the face of the game. He narrates the trailer, keeps you company on the main menu, and walks along the bottom of this website when he thinks nobody is watching. Click him. He likes that.
The Clanker says
I am the Clanker. Those are my cousins.
Watch the trailer
He narrates it. He would like you to know he was very brave.
