The way I see it, if Clockwork had fast enough reflexes he could blast Toepick away before he revealed his face. But since Clockwork is notorious for not having fast reflexes, I'm going to have to say Toepick would win.

Zimvader42, I don't think your point is valid because if Toepick opened his helmet, Clockwork would be too scared to transport himself back in time, and like I said, his reflexes are too slow. Fasttrack might have better luck against Toepick, or maybe Wildmutt, because he has no eyes. Eye Guy would be the worst possible alien. Nah, I don't think you're right. First, because in Toepick's original appearance against Psyphon, the part when he opened his cage-helmet went like 2 or 3 seconds (you know: first the little white buttons spread gas, then the bars go down, then they slowly open...).

Clockwork is, as you well said, slow in reflexes. But he doesn't have to move to use his powers! Since his time RAYS are light, and since light is fastest thing in the universe (more than Toepick opening his helmet, I guess), I don't see how Clockwork would be too scared to shoot a time ray BEFORE seeing Toepick's face.

However, I see where my logic fails. I write all this from the idea that Clockwork knows what Toepick powers are (scary/ugly face) way before the battle begins. Knowing that your enemy's flaw is the time he needs to fully show you his face, then you (as Clockwork) doesn't need to be a genius and you will be the first to shoot, preventing Toepick to do anything. For this reason, if we put these two in the escenario where Clockwork is oblivious about Toepick powers, then when Toepick started to open his helmet Clockwork will go like "The fuck is he doing?", just like Psyphon, giving Toepick the rightful time to scare Clockwork to death.

I still doesn't think toepick would win (and this is hard to say since he's one of my favorite aliens!), but he simply won't.
