Clockwork is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Chronosapien from an unknown planet.
Appearance
Clockwork is a robot-like alien with skin that is made of golden metal, with black stripes and a transparent piece of green glass on his chest, revealing the gears inside of him.
In Ultimate Alien, the piece of glass on his chest was circular.
In Omniverse, 16-year-old Clockwork has a larger body and holes on the key on his somewhat restructured head. The piece of glass on his chest is now in the shape of a hexagon, and there is a black stripe on his back that splits into two stripes with a keyhole between them.
11-year-old Clockwork has a thinner and rounder head, a white and black shirt, a smiley face, and a circular piece of glass similar to his original appearance.
Clockwork wears the Ultimatrix/Omnitrix/original Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Personality
Clockwork speaks with a thick German accent.
Powers and Abilities
Clockwork can fire green time rays from his hands or chest, which have various effects like sending people back in time,[1] aging an object/person to dust,[2] restoring individuals who have been erased from time, sending them into a different timeline,[3] and reverting them to a previous state while also immobilizing them.[4]
Clockwork can slow down time around himself, making it look like to others that Clockwork is moving at very high speeds.[5] He can also completely stop time.[DJW 1]
By rotating the key on his head, Clockwork can create hologram-like projections of what happened in the past.[6][7]
Clockwork has a degree of enhanced strength, as he was able to throw a pipe so hard it became heavily embedded into a wall.[5]
Clockwork is capable of reversing the effects of a Chronosapien Time Bomb using his time powers.[3]
Because he is robotic (rather than biological) in nature, Clockwork can survive in the vacuum of space, as demonstrated by Maltruant.[8]
Clockwork can use the head key of another Chronosapien, but he won't have his true resonance.[DJW 2]
Clockwork can still function even if he loses some of his parts.[DJW 3]
Clockwork possesses chronopathy, which grants him a fine-tuned sense of precise time and determine the exact time an event has taken or will take place and for low long; this feat was also exclusively demonstrated by Maltruant.[8]
Because he is a technological being, it is possible for a Galvanic Mechamorph to merge with Clockwork, thus making his time rays stronger and increasing his speed and stamina to superhuman levels. While in this state, Clockwork can jump extremely high, morph his hands into drills, and fire rockets out of shoulder-mounted launchers. He can also sense another Chronosapien's head key.[4]
Although he has never trained himself to do so, Clockwork can travel through both time and between different dimensions,[9][1] as well as sense the use of a fellow Chronosapien's powers and undo the resulting effects if needed.[3]
Weaknesses
Clockwork is not very durable, as a laser blast from Carl Nesmith's glove damaged Clockwork's right shoulder and caused him to shut down. When Clockwork reverted to human form in this state, Ben's right arm was broken.[2]
If something hits Clockwork's head key, he can be badly stunned; this shows that he is not very agile, as Ben admits that Clockwork "is not good for dodging."[5]
Because of his large body and short legs, Clockwork cannot run very fast and is low on stamina, meaning he tires out quickly.[10]
Clockwork can be lifted and thrown by species with as much or more strength than a Tetramand.[11]
Clockwork's time rays are ineffective against anything diamond-related such as Petrosapiens, due to them being incapable of aging.[1] Similarly, the time rays are ineffective on gumballs because time has no effect on them.[12][13]
The use of Clockwork's time powers create a ripple effect in time that can be sensed or reversed by another Chronosapien.[3]
Clockwork's time powers are completely useless in a place where there is no time at all, such as the beginning of the universe, as demonstrated by Maltruant.[14]
There is a limit to how strong Clockwork is, as he is unable to penetrate through the Contumelia's machine's extra-dimensional field, as also demonstrated by Maltruant.[14]
Because he is a mechanical-based being, Clockwork can be magnetized by a Biosovortian.[DJW 4]

Etymology
The term "clockwork" refers to a mechanism with a spring and toothed gearwheels, used to drive a mechanical clock and other types of devices; this refers to Clockwork being a mechanical alien with gears and time-based powers.
Trivia
- Clockwork's appearance when he is fused with Techno-Bubble bears a strong resemblance to the Haywire Clockwork action figure, which has Eatle's Ultimate Alien color scheme.
- Clockwork makes gear sounds when he moves, which is similar to Armodrillo when he moves his arms.
- In Omniverse, Clockwork ticks like a clock for the entirety of his transformation sequence, and there is a sound similar to the tolling of Big Ben that sometimes appears at the end.
- The tolling clock sound also occurs when Clockwork's time rays strike their target or when he is struck on his head key.
- The reason Clockwork has a German accent is because Germany is known for inventing the watch, a portable timepiece that could tell time no matter wherever someone was in the world.
- Clockwork is one of five aliens to have an accent; the others being Brainstorm, NRG, Chamalien, and Shocksquatch.
- Unlike Buzzshock, Spitter, and Arctiguana, Clockwork was first revealed by a different Ben 10,000 (from an alternate timeline) than the original one.
- Regardless, all four of these aliens would later be unlocked by present-day Ben.
- Clockwork is the only alien used by 11-year-old Ben whose original Omnitrix symbol has a gold outer casing, rather than a silver one like his other aliens.
- Derrick J. Wyatt thinks that 11-year-old Ben kept Clockwork after the events of Ben Again, but Matt Youngberg always said he did not.[DJW 5]
