* ''S.H.I.E.L.D.'' - the Secret History of the [[Marvel Universe]] - has Leonardo with an [[Jet Pack|ornithopter-pack]] and Gallileo creating a Clock Punk weapon to fight ''[[Planet Eater|Galactus]]''. And since the [[Marvel Universe]] is still around four hundred years later, [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|he presumably won]].
** Of course they did. "This Is Not How The World Ends."
* [[Iron Man|Lord Iron]]'s armour and some of [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Sir Richard Reed]]'s creations in ''[[Marvel 1602]]''.
* ''Avigon''.
 
Line 97:
* A [[Tabletop RPG]] example is ''[[Deadlands]]: The Weird West'', though it seems to slide between [[Cattle Punk]] and Clock Punk as the players demand.
** Although it's predominantly [[Steampunk]] as mechanical gizmos are usually powered by ghostrock, an extremely efficient coal imbued with spiritual energy.
* In ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'', The [[Lawful Neutral]] [[Heaven]] is [http://www.mimir.net/mechanus/index.shtml Mechanus], a place where continents, cities, and even many of the local lifeforms are actually made out of gears.
** Some of the domains of [[Ravenloft]] make use of clockpunk-style mechanisms. These may be either genuine clockwork technology, or golems that only ''look'' like clockwork, depending on the domain and the sanity (or lack thereof) of their makers.
* [[Unknown Armies|Mechanomancers]] are Clock Punk magicians in the modern day, who build sentient constructs powered by [[Power Born of Madness|pieces of their own sanity]].

* Mechanisms like this appeared at times in [[Bionicle]], although they never really dominated the universe. Toy-wise, most of the earlier sets had gear-based action features, which the designers gradually abandoned. Story-wise, Turaga Dume's secret chamber in the second movie had a sundial-mirror-thing built into its floor, that used a clockwork mechanism to rotate. And though we didn't see it, the [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|Vahki]] robots also made use of these according to [[Word of God]].
 
 
Line 127:
* Many of the platforming puzzles in the Renaissance-era [[Assassin's Creed]] games make use of this.
* [[Wizard 101]] has clockwork golems as enemies throughout the spiral. They often fight along side [[Elite Mook|the usually stronger]] [[Steampunk|Iron Golems]].
* [[Pirate 101]] has the same technology of [[Wizard 101]] used in Valencia [https://kingsisle.hs.llnwd.net/e1/image/free/Pirate/Images/armada-marine.gif?v=2 only they are much more beautifully crafted.]{{Dead link}}
