* Vector Prime of ''[[Transformers]]: [[Transformers Cybertron|Cybertron]]'' is shown in the [[Expanded Universe]] to have this sort of job, though he's far more personable than most examples and not nearly as unstoppable. The giant, all-consuming rift that shows up in the Time Wars arc of the UK comic fufills the trope more. |

** Vector's the guardian of time. He'd be the one to fix it if a paradox were to happen, and presumably, if there were friendly time travelers who had to be eliminated to protect the universe, the unpleasant but necessary task would fall to him. However, if there were an "undo it before the [[Rule of Cool|giant clockwork spaceship/robot]] squishes us" type situation, Vector Prime himself would favor undoing over squishing anybody, and if you knew of a way to fix things bloodlessly and he didn't (though that's hard to imagine) he'd surely listen. He's purely a good guy. |

* Similar to the ''[[Final Destination]]'' movies is the rule that chronal doubles in the ''[[Futurama]]'' universe always meet with some sort of fatal accident in order to keep them from cluttering up the timestream... {{spoiler|of course, the sudden appearance of an army of chronal-duplicated Benders results in the destruction and reboot of the entire universe}}. |

* In the ''[[Generator Rex]]'' episode "A Brief History of Time," Van Kleiss ''thinks'' he's being hunted by one of these. {{spoiler|As it turns out, it's actually Breach, who has transformed into a [[Negative Space Wedgie]] that's attracted to him like a magnet - and destroys everything in its wake.}} |

* The race of [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]s that Shleemypants belongs to in ''[[Rick and Morty]]''. All of them are vascular-looking monsters with big heads (with wrinkled, hairless flesh), huge mouths, thin arms, and they float. They cuss as much as a typical [[Angry Black Man]] and don't "take no shit" from anyone, much less time travelers they have to discipline. These creatures are parodies of the Time Eaters from ''[[The Langoliers]]''. |
