Levi "Flint"-June Lockwood/Inventions

Flint Lockwood has created a slew of inventions ranging from zany and fantastical to practical. In each one, his creativity and imagination is put on full display, as well as his desire to help his hometown and earn the acceptance of his peers and family.
==Early Inventions==
===Wedgie-Proof Underwear===
Wedgie-Proof Underwear was Flint's first invention, created when Flint was only 6 years old (two years before the invention of Spray-on Shoes). They are specially designed underwear that stretch to an extreme degree without causing discomfort, which prevents the dreaded "wedgie."Chester V also invented a variant of the Wedgie-Proof Underwear when he was 3 years old. Flint and Chester bond over similar experiences of bullying in their youth, as well as the similar solution. The stretchy undergarment is also ideal for bungee jumping above the electrified, stagnant water in Flint's lab.
===Spray-on Shoes===
Spray-On Shoes were the first of Flint Lockwood's inventions seen in the Cloudy franchise. They are made of an elastic biopolymer adhesive which are applied to bare feet using an aerosol spray can. The main downside, which Brent was quick to point out, is that once applied, Spray-on Shoes are impossible to remove. However, due to their elastic nature, they are able to grow with Flint's feet as he got older.
==== The Films ====
Spray-on Shoes are integral to the plot of the first film, as they are the invention that stops the FLDSMDFR once and for all by applying a coat of the substance to the FLDSMDFR's "chow plopper" and gumming up the machine, causing it to pressurize and explode. During the post-credits scene, it is shown that Spray-on Shoes can be repurposed into spray-on roofing sealant. In the second film, Spray-on Shoes make a cameo appearance during Flint's confrontation with Chester V, but are ultimately never used.
===== Trivia =====
* The design of the Spray-on Shoes can label was created by Visual Development Artist Dean Gordon's seven-year-old son Jack.
* Flint's shoes often squeak when he walks.
* It's implied that the Spray-on Shoes don't last forever, as Flint applied the first pair on when he was in elementary school, but they're gone by the time Flint goes to Live Corp until Flint sprays on another pair.
* although it takes years to fall apart it'd be fair to assume that they stopped his toenails from growing
===Remote Controlled Television===
The Remote-Controlled Television was one of Flint 's first inventions. It has two extendable legs that allow the television to walk up to the user when they press the button on the remote. Unfortunately, immediately after activation, the TV became sentient and went rogue. It could be seen around town, hiding in the grasslands or strolling through Sardine Circle. It took advantage of the chaos of the food storms to break into a TV store and steal a man (after a man broke in and stole a TV). It takes pleasure in chaos and destruction, kicking the Flying Car II when the townspeople decided to rock it back and forth in anger. After the townspeople evacuated and were relocated to San Franjose, the Remote-Controlled Television continued to thrive in Swallow Falls, becoming part of the Pickle community complete with a grass skirt and white handprints as part of its "tribal" look. It retained a broken tape of Flint introducing the FLDSMDFR, inadvertently creating the name "N-Woo" from the choppy audio of Flint saying his own name. The Foodimals used this name to refer to Flint.
===Monkey Thought Translator===
The Monkey-Thought-Translator is one of Flint Lockwood's earliest inventions. The device consists of a red, white and blue headband that has been modified to read the brainwaves of the wearer, before transmitting it through a modified baby monitor through whatever voice the user could produce. It is primarily worn by Flint's best friend and lab partner Steve, but it has been shown to work on other intelligent species as well, such as humans and Shrimpanzees.
===Ratbirds===
Ratbirds are hybrid creatures made by Flint Lockwood as a solution to turn the rat population airborne as a solution to have Swallow Falls's rat population literally fly away. The Ratbirds are hybrid creatures with rat bodies colorful parrot wings and beaks. They caw like roosters in the morning, like real parrots, can also mimic basic human speech, such as the word "beware."
==== History ====
When "Best Bait 'n' Beyond" nearly put Tim's Bait and Tackle out of business, Flint combined sardines' love of worms and cheese to create a new, popular type of bait. However, Cheese Worms became an invasive species, so after a series of genetic engineering mishaps, Flint finally created Ratbirds to take care of the problem. When Flint introduced the creatures to the residents of Swallow Falls, they broke out of their cage and escaped into the surrounding area, where they bred at "a surprising rate." Despite becoming a nuisance, Flint didn't have the heart to properly dispose of the creatures. Ratbirds are carnivores and primarily eat sardines, hot dogs, and bacon, but can be fooled by canning any manner of food such as oranges, English muffins, or slabs of butter in sardine-canning machines. Hungry Ratbirds are ravenous and a nuisance, often teaming up to carry people away. Flint was saved by a flock of ratbirds near the end of the first film.
===Hair Un-Balder===
Hair Un-Balder is an invention Flint Lockwood created to re-grow hair naturally on balding men. However, the invention worked too well, as seen in a test with Tim Lockwood, where hair sprouted over the entirety of his face. Flint created the Hair Un-Balder after learning that baldness is hereditary and that one day he too would lose his memorable mop of unruly hair. However, after a heart-to-heart with his father, he learned that being bald wasn't all bad, and decided to forego "un-balding" his dad. Flint threw the Hair Un-Balder in the trash, referring to it as "junk" during a moment of despair after the Spaghetti Twister tore up the town of Swallow Falls.

==Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs==
===Flying Car===
The Flying Car is one of Flint's earliest inventions. Flint tested it by driving it off the Swallow Falls Docks, though it simply didn't have enough distance and propulsion to gain altitude, instead sinking immediately.
In the novelization, the Flying Car successfully took off, but was destroyed by power cables.
==== Flying Car 0II ====
Flying Car II was an updated and improved version of the Flying Car. As the food created by the FLDSMDFR became threatening, Flint redesigned his failed prototype for an approach vehicle. Flint, with the help of navigator Sam Sparks and pilot Manny, flew towards the FLDSMDFR. While infiltrating the Meat-a-Roid, the vehicle comes under attack from gummy bears and is nearly destroyed until Steve neutralizes them. It eventually crashes in Swallow Falls and is severely damaged. In the novelization, the car exploded into a display of fireworks when Sam and Flint kissed.
==== Trivia ====
* The car is powered by food in the video game - it runs on carbs provided by an orange, muffin, and a gummi bear.
* The license plate reads "AWESOME."
===Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator===
See FLDSMDFR
===Outtasighter===
The Outtasighter was an invention that Flint created to toss the leftovers from Swallow Falls "out of sight, and therefore out of mind." In reality, all the tossed food accumulated in a mountain of leftovers aptly named "Mount Leftovers," which is held back from the town from a "presumably indestructible" dam which collapses under the weight of the excessive leftovers.
==== Appearance ====
The Outtasighter is a modified street sweeper with oversized utensils. These fork and spoon arms scoop up extra food onto a plate, which then dumps onto a bucket that launches the food skyward. It trundles around on treads and is equipped with a megaphone and a pop-out Stop sign to alert passersby of its passing.
===== Trivia =====
* It's also seen scooping unwanted ice-cream on Cal's birthday.
* The Outtasighter is similar to a truck used by the Sanitation Department of Chewandswallow to clean up after each meal in the book. In the book, when the Sanitation Department cleaned up after every meal, they then used the leftovers to feed all the cats and dogs, and also poured some of it into the surrounding oceans for the fish, turtles, and whales to eat, and some of the leftovers were put back into the ground so the soil would be richer for the people's flower gardens.
===Anti-Food Creature Weaponry===
In the video game, Flint designs a series of inventions to destroy and defend against increasingly hostile living food: the Forkamajigger, Chopper-er, Bigacious Pow, Upsucker Plus, and Hot Enougher each handle different skills, from punching to stabbing to melting. When regular Spray-on Shoes prove not to be enough to destroy the FLDSMDFR, Flint creates the ultimate weapon: Super Spray-on Shoes!
==Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2==
===Fork-and-Knife-and-Spoon-inator===
The Fork-and-Knife-and-Spoon-inator is one of Flint Lockwood's invention submissions to the Live Corp vesting ceremony. It is designed to be strapped to the wearer's neck and use a fork, knife, and spoon to automatically feed the user. However, it did not limit the rate at which it shoved food into the user's mouth.
===Invisible Coffee Table===
the Invisible Coffee Table is an invention created by Flint Lockwood as a submission to the Live Corp vesting competition. It was designed to "open up the space" but causes more shin bruises than are worth the aesthetic benefit.
Flint briefly attempted to use the table to dissolve Chester V holograms, but the holograms re-form too quickly for the bulky table to be of use. 
*The Invisible Coffee Table was originally meant to appear in the first film but was cut.
*"The Art and Making of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" shows a silhouette of the table - it is an oval-shaped table with curved legs.
===Grocery Deliverator===
The Grocery Deliverator is an invention by Flint Lockwood that can teleport food from one location to another. Flint created it as his sixteenth submission to Live Corp in his goal to become a Thinkquanaut. Portals are generated by a small device laid on the ground. Designed for the convenience of buying groceries it can transport food but not anything else. Steve also behaved erratically when the machine spat him back out.
*Flint marketed the Grocery Deliverator on a TV ad broadcast from Swallow Falls. It is $29.95 (plus shipping and handling) with a 30-day money back guarantee. It could be ordered by calling 1-555-DEL-IVER
===Re-freeze-a-Fan===
The Re-Freeze-a-Fan is a portable ice maker invented by Flint Lockwood as a submission to the Live Corp vesting competition.Its design is suspiciously similar to the weapons equipped by the Sentinels of Safety to immobilize targets, implying that Chester V would usurp invention submissions and develop them himself without crediting the original inventors.
===Celebrationator===
The Celebrationator, or "party in a box," was an invention created by Flint Lockwood to make celebrations simple, colorful, and portable.Being a tightly compressed plastic box, it contains pressurized confetti and paint. When the red button is hit, it will explode and spray the surrounding area with its contents.
===== Trivia =====
* The colorful paint cannot land on digital surfaces such as holograms.
* Flint has trained Steve for manual detonation whenever he says "Party".
* Flint marketed the Celebrationator on a TV ad broadcast from Swallow Falls. It is $25.95 (plus shipping and handling) with a 30-day money back guarantee. It could be ordered by calling 1-555-PAR-TYYY
===Flint Lockwood Food Jungle Topographical Pointing Machine===
The Flint Lockwood Food Jungle Topographical Pointing Machine (FLFJTPM) is a helmet used by Flint to locate the FLDSMDFR. Flint designed it using spare parts from his lab, which he gathered with the help of Chester V. The device has a laser at the front, which snakes around solid masses such as people, foliage, and Foodimals to guide Flint to the FLDSMDFR, located in the depths of Big Rock Candy Mountain.Flint originally designed the FLFJTPM to be worn like a pair of trousers, but Sam suggested it be worn as a hat. Its design is reminiscent of the FLDSMDFR, being made from a colander, a mug, and old electronic equipment.
===Super Simian Soaping Dirty Monkey Scrubbing Hygenifying Robot (SSSDMSHR)===
This robot appears in the short Steve's First Bath as a solution to Steve's lack of hygiene while Flint prepares for his date with Sam.
