A noisy robot
Clink was built as a spy-bot. He has an indestructible alloy body, xray vision, wireless capabilities, and his antenna doubles as a poisonous dart gun. I would love to tell you about all of Clink’s top secret assignments, but then I’d have to kill you. I’d also love to tell you that he has been successful at all his espionage, but I can’t. You see, Clink has one fatal flaw. He’s very noisy. When his creators were building him, they neglected to consider the fact that an indestructible metal body sounds much like a tank coming down the street. So Clink was forced into early retirement. He now resides in the Pacific Northwest, where he raises homing pigeons, and whale watches on the weekends.
