Francis X. Clampazzo (6ACV14), commonly known as Clamps, is probably the most violent goon of the Robot Mafia, ready to attack anyone at any time.
Biography
Clamps attended four years of clamping school and, in July 3011, worked at Planet Express (6ACV14).
Character description
Clamps' clamps are a rarely seen style of robot hand, that are apparently replaceable (Donbot offered to give Blotto a pair), and require regular maintenance. However this may be due to overuse. Clamps has a scar, riveted back together, below his right eye.
Production
As evidenced by the commentary for "Bendless Love", the producers wanted 'Clamp clamp ka-bamp!' to be his catchphrase.
Additional Info
Trivia
- According to "Xmas Time Is Fear"; Clamps needs to replace his clamps each year, "like running shoes".
- Strangely, while Joey Mousepad and Donbot are members of the League of Robots, Clamps is not.
