In Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction Clank discovers he has the ability to see a form of robot-like race called Zoni that are visible only to him. In Ratchet & Clank Going Commando, Clank can be modified to electrify enemies this ability is called the 'Clank Zapper' and does not reappear in subsequent games. He appears to only be able to give them one of four commands: Follow, Wait, Attack or Enter.Ĭlank can also command the Zoni to follow, energize, fix, and levitate him

Note that Clank cannot transform into Giant Clank without the use of other equipment.Ĭlank can also communicate telepathically with smaller robots called 'Gadgebots'. Through the use of special equipment, Clank is capable of transforming into a much larger version of himself Giant Clank, who is equipped with rockets and other offensive weapons.

In Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction he acquires the ability to slow time, 'Robo-Wings' (similar to the "Glider" in the second game) which will give him and Ratchet the ability to fly, and a Geo-laser which gives him the ability to cut through certain walls. In the first game he acquires the Heli-Pack upgrade (which allows him and Ratchet to glide long distances), the Thruster-Pack (which serves the exact same purpose but allows Ratchet to execute a powerful strike-dive, hover, and jump higher in the first game only, but it can be equipped in later games for cosmetic appeal) and the Hydro-Pack (which allows him and Ratchet to swim faster in water and against currents). Clank can also store objects much bigger than himself in the hatch in his chest, which is useful for carrying Ratchet's various weapons and items.Ĭlank is outfitted throughout the series with many exterior modifications which give him (and, by extension, Ratchet) various abilities. In Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Captain Qwark mentions his weight as 50lbs. He can tuck his head, arms and legs into his body and attach to Ratchet's back and worn like a backpack he is presumably very light as Ratchet accomplishes backflips and other acrobatics with ease while Clank is attached. Being a robot, Clank is capable of being modified and transforming.
