That's it, Clank. Kick some… *static*
Director, UYA
Giant Clank was Clank transformed into a larger enhanced state.
There were two versions of the Giant Clank form; the first was an Ultra-Mech, first seen in the game Ratchet & Clank (2002 game). While transformed, he was enlarged and fitted with a wide array of heavy machinery. He could shoot rockets from his arms, launch energy bombs, knock enemies out cold with one punch, and crush opponents under his huge weight. He was around 50 times taller while being giant (around 110 ft or 33.5 meters) when using an Ultra-Mech Pad to transform. The second was a non-Ultra-Mech version (sometimes referred to as Alpha Clank) which Clank could take on by himself without assistance and was the same size as Qwark.
History
The technology that enabled Clank to enlarge was developed by a scientist on planet Quartu, and was originally intended for Drek's use. Clank used this special form several times, including the fight against the Ultra-Mech Unlimited robots, the beginning of the fight against Chairman Drek.
In Going Commando, Giant Clank fought against the Thugs-4-Less Leader on Dobbo orbit so that he and Ratchet were able to enter the MegaCorp Games on planet Joba. He also fought the Mothership on the moon over Damosel. In Up Your Arsenal, Giant Clank fought the Terror of Talos in a Secret Agent Clank episode.
While Giant Clank does not appear in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Clank's RYNO VI Protosuit is similar in appearance to Giant Clank. Giant Clank was originally intended to appear in this game and concept art of Giant Clank was supplied by CreatureBox.
Giant Clank appears in Full Frontal Assault. Comically, he has a Lombax plushy on his back. Giant Clank has no extra abilities in this game but is used as Clank's armor, he can also use the Fists of Justice. He is also a lot smaller, just being slightly larger than Qwark, and Clank does not need an Ultra-Mech Pad to take on this "semi-Giant Clank" form an is able to do it by himself. This smaller version of Giant Clank is also alternatively known as "Alpha Clank."[1]
