Clock is a male contestant in Object Overload and its reboot. He is the leader of Team Time.
Character Bio[]
Clock is a male clock with a brown frame and two clock hands. He is very rarely shown to be happy or even smiling of joy, showing him as a very grumpy and antipathetic character, especially with his enemies, and especially when he has work to do. He is the captain of Team Time.
As an intelligent contestant, Clock is acknowledged in technology, which is ironic because clocks are also technology.
Despite him being intelligent, he doesn't believe something until he realizes it. An example of this is in In Deeper Waters. Since his teammate, Crayon, switched the sign without all of Team Time realizing this. Because of this, Clock doesn't believe that his team switched the sign, even though his rival, Boombox, believes so.
When his team loses and is up for elimination, Clock starts to get anger issues.
Appearance[]
Clock is a circular analog wall clock who always appears to have a brown frame/case and a white face. With the exception of the episode "The End of the Beginning", Clock's hands constantly rotate around his body, making him the only character with an animated body asset.
While his clock hands were black until the upcoming series, they were changed to off-gray, alongside having his face changed to off-white and his graduations removed. He also wears a metallic, mechanical mask in the upcoming series, which covers half of his body and includes multiple wires and a pair of LED lights as well as a large circular LED display with green lights. The lights seem to display his other eye, since his official upcoming series pose features him with closed eyes, and the display shows a line of dots.
Design variants[]
Personality[]
Clock is most notably the smartest contestant on the show, particularly in regards to technology and machinery. He was the one who built the show's recovery center, and can also be seen using various machines and gadgets, such as a plane that he operated in the 2015 series intro as well as in the tribute video, as well as his suit from "Rostrum Rampage". He was also able to tell that Gamey's batteries were dead and needed replacing in "Rostrum Rampage". He is not just seen as a mechanical whiz, as he is able to pull off strategies for his own gain, seen later in the same episode where he took advantage of the fact that the challenge had no rules and sent a robotic butterfly towards Toothy's alliance in an attempt to knock them all off.
In contrast to Boombox's more lax methods, Clock has a more authoritarian approach towards leadership. He directs his team, Team Time, rather sternly, and becomes increasingly agitated with each time the team lost, to the point where he once took out his burdens on Casey by yelling at her and causing her to cry in "Lost and Found". There is an implication that Clock isn't exactly sane in "Rostrum Rampage", as he laughed manically before sending the robot butterfly towards Toothy's alliance.
Clock also doesn't seem to have any best friends, despite having a few friends of his own. While Niall wrote how he is supposedly a friend of Boombox, according to a revision on the other Object Overload wiki[1], the two seem to be much more like rivals than actual friends.

Trivia[]
- In official pose rigs for the series, Clock's large/minute hand points upwards, while his smaller/hour hand points towards the bottom-right graduation (using his 2013/2015 series design for reference). This means, in said rigs, his hands show the time as roughly 4 or 5-o'clock.
- He has a plane, as seen in both the Object Overload Reboot intro and a tribute video.
- Clock is the only character with an animated body, as his clock hands move.
- This is similar to Firey from the Battle for Dream Island series or Globe from Object Twoniverse.
- However, in The End of the Beginning, the hands don't move at all, while in later episodes, they are spinning around Clock's face.
- Discounting non-canon media and intros, Clock is one of the only characters in the series to have never died, the others are Boombox, Boxing Glove, Fly Swat, Marble, Masky, Paper Airplane, Pearly, Ping Pong Ball, Soccer Ball, Toothy, Cherry, Crayon, Globe, Locky, Picture, Top Hat, Tiki and Gamey.
- Clock carries a toolbox filled with ultra-powered batteries at all times, as seen in "Rostrum Rampage".
