I already activated my trump card, THE CLAAAAAAWWWWW!"Claw-Machine Man activating his mechanized finishing move in Super Battle Bros: Crashing Waves.Claw-Machine Man, real name Claude Mekhan is a one-time antagonist in the Terrachaoverse series. He designs weapons of mass destruction & comes from a place called the Video Game Dimension.
Tier: 6-C; High 6-C with the Giant Claw
== Appearance ==
Claude resembles Jake Fall, with light skin, brown hair, & green eyes. Though he did not wear a shirt in his only appearance in the show so far, he was seen wearing blue clothing in a publicity photo for Super Battle Bros.
== History ==
=== The Mad Mechanic ===
Much of Claude Mekhan's past remains a mystery, but he was born in a realm known as the Video Game Dimension. At some point in time, he became an engineer for weapon design. His first weapon was a claw that could utilize magnets for various purposes. Since then, his inventions have become more & more dangerous. This would don him the name of Claw-Machine Man.
On June 24th, 2018, Claude became aware of a competitive fighting tournament called Super Battle Bros, which was being hosted in the Terrachaoverse by Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda. Apparently, Dan was at a graduation party for one of his cousins next door, but allowed for a tournament to commence in his pool. Claude had met many new faces, some would be easier to combat than others. He even brought along an ally of his named N00b-Ninja-Thing, who also came from the Video Game Dimension. Little is known of what actually happened at this tournament, but it also featured Mike Gamey Gee, Ghoul, Shield Man, Yeshman, the Clean Freak, & Mijit.
=== Be the Crane ===
Claw-Machine Man was one of the 26 combatants to attended the 47th Super Battle Bros. Tournament, which was a dual-map tournament; one battlefield at the Ledda Residence, the other at the Fall Residence. Claude was the latter, & would pick a fight with Mike & Jack, demonstrating his unique skill-set to both of them. Later during the tournament, when the battle was getting even more heated, Claw-Machine Man summoned a giant mechanical claw from a portal in the sky, which was his ultimate weapon. This action immediately prompted Toy-Toy Ninja Man, Frogman, & Mike to all leave. Mijit kinda just sat there & watched. Up from the depths came the first triple-fusion in history, Hallows Ghoul, who is a combination of Jack, Pumpkin Face, & Ghoul. However, the fusion had bigger fish to fry. As the Giant Claw lowered down, Hallows Ghoul was relentlessly fighting a monster called the Nasty Patty. Outside of the pool, Capitalism Man, who was originally intent on fighting Claw-Machine Man but dueled Biggus Dickus VII instead, used his reality-warping die to summon Ultraman & Pepsi Man into the battlefield. Both of the alien superheroes combined their powers & destroyed the Giant Claw in a huge explosion. Claude was angered & in disbelief that his hard work had gone to waste, but any further emotion was cut short when Ultraman punched him in the face, instantly knocking him out.
Claw-Machine Man was returned to his home dimension afterward.
== Personality ==
Claw-Machine Man is crafty & strategic. He is a genius inventor & will use everything at his disposal to accomplish any task at hand. He also takes great pride in his work, evidently shown as he was enraged at the Giant Claw's destruction. But aside all that, there is actually little else to be said about Claude as a person, as he has only appeared once in the entire show.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Superhuman Strength: Claw-Machine Man has a great degree of physical strength, as he was able to choke-slam Mike Gamey Gee with little effort & would've been able to take on Capitalism Man.
Superhuman Speed: Claude also has great reflexes, as he was able to maneuver against opponents of similar caliber to himself.
Durability: Claude has a considerable amount of durability, as he has gone toe-to-toe with beings who are far stronger than him, has withstood an attack from a high-pressure water gun, & survived a punch to the face from Ultraman in his smaller form (though it did knock him out).
=== Special Powers ===
Teleportation: Claw-Machine Man has limited teleportation capabilities.
* Dimensional Travel: Claude can spawn portals to other dimensions within the Multiverse, & can open them to summon his many gadgets.
Limited Weather Manipulation: Apparently, his interdimensional vortexes can disrupt the weather, causing thunderstorms to appear in the sky. However, it's unknown if he can command these storms consciously.
Technopathy: Claude can communicate with his machines using neural implants in his brain, able to take full control of them to do his bidding.
== Equipment ==
Excavator Claw: Claw-Machine Man's weapon of choice is, to no surprise, a claw. It is blue in color & resembles a excavating claw found on a crane.
* Magno-Claw Beam: Claude can fire a beam of electromagnetism from his claw. This beam was even capable of harming Jack Jarren, even though he also uses a type of electromagnetism.
* Skill Crane: He can detect any skills or weaknesses through magnetic waves. Using the Skill Crane technique, he can analyze his opponent by sending a pulsing wave of magnetism to bounce off of them & back to him, which allows him to find potential weak spots.
The Giant Claw: Claude's finishing move is to summon a gigantic levitating mechanical arm of doom from the sky. The Giant Claw is hundreds of feet tall & can stand on its razor-sharp claws. Its exact composition is unknown. It is capable of moving on its own, & on its other end, which has no been seen on-screen yet is a "head" with multiple lazer cannons featured on it.
== Weaknesses ==
Claw-Machine Man has a noticeable degree of overconfidence, as he may sometimes underestimate his enemies' abilities. He also did not think of building any sort of special protection for his Giant Claw, as it was easily destroyed by Pepsi Man & Ultraman.
== Trivia ==
* The way he says the name of the Giant Claw is a reference to Toy Story.
* Some of his dialogue is similar to Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
