A detailed, full-body illustration of a steampunk clockwork knight robot in gold and black armor, holding a sword and shield.

a Clockwork Knight style Car Transformer would merge the elegance of a medieval paladin with the precision of steampunk timepiece engineering. Here’s the concept breakdown: --- Clockwork Knight Car Transformer Alt Mode (Car): A retro-futuristic steampunk carriage-car hybrid. Think elongated hood, exposed brass pipes, polished wood paneling, bronze gears spinning visibly in the wheels, and ornate clockwork detailing along the sides.

Exhaust vents release puffs of steam like dragon’s breath. --- Robot Mode (Knight): Armor: Full knight plating forged from polished brass, bronze, and blackened steel. Panels shift with gear clicks instead of smooth hydraulics. Helm: A medieval knight’s visor, but segmented with rotating gear hinges. One eye has a monocle-like chronometer lens, ticking softly.
