Clam-tron 4000 is a giant Robot in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure who resides on the beach in the Ruins.
Story
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Once the Skylander brings Clam-tron 4000 back to life with some drops from an oil can, he reveals that he can extract pearls from clams. However, once the Skylander gathers a few clams for Clam-tron 4000, he instead creates bombs (he originally believes they are "black pearls"). Clam-tron 4000's bombs prove to be very useful in discovering new things around the Ruins, such as opening the blocked pathway to Crystal Eye Castle.
In the Wii version, it is mentioned that General Robot is his "father," and he describes him by saying that "he's strict now, but you should have seen when he was a few quarts of oil younger." This possibly implies that General Robot was VERY strict when Clam-tron was younger.
Skylanders: Giants
Clam-tron reappears in Skylanders: Giants, stationed in the Secret Vault of Secrets at the Tech elemental gate. He later appears in The Oracle in the Trial of Speed, where he challenges the Skylander to a game of Skystones. Clam-tron also makes an appearance in Fright Rider's Heroic Challenge.

Giants Lines
- "Hey, a Skylander, all right! I've been in here for hours trying to find a special hat that the Arkeyans supposedly left behind."
- "But yeesh! It's pretty tricky. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did."
- "Boy am I glad to see you! I must have taken the wrong turn at... somewhere. But, since we're both here, wanna play a game of Skystones?"
- "No problem, I understand. Come back any time. Guess I'll be here for a while." - when you say 'no' to Clam-Tron 4000
- "Great! So nice to finally have someone to play with!" - when you say 'yes' to Clam-Tron 4000
- "This game is pretty tough, huh? Tougher than shucking clams, that's for sure!" - when Clam-Tron 4000 beats you at Skystones

Trivia
- Clam-tron 4000 appears to be able to swim, as in the Secret Vault of Secrets, he resides in an area that was underwater for most of the level.
- He may be looking for advice or a wish, as he is found at The Oracle. Ironically, he is found in the Trial of Strength: Speed, when it would seem he would be much more fitted for the Trial of Strength: Power.
- In the Xbox 360 version of Spyro's Adventure, oiling Clam-tron while he's saying "oil... can..." for the first time will result in him briefly vanishing.
- Oiling the Clam-tron for the first time may be a reference to the Tinman from the 1939 musical film: The Wizard of Oz (as both characters struggle to say the words “Oil Can”)
