Clang Invasion is a Canadian-Singaporean animated television series produced in 2007 for Canadian children's programming channel YTV.
Plot
Three alien robots, Rivet, Widgit and Socket, accidentally crashed their spaceship on a backyard tree in Earth. Human twins Robin and Daisy Harrison, and their pet dog Sam went to investigate the crash, where they encounter the robots.[1] Not capable of returning to Planet Clang, the robots becomes friends with Robin and Daisy, made Sam speak by installing a voice box, and agree to help their needs and wishes using a spectrum of gadgetry. The twins also has to keep the robots a secret.
Characters
- Rivet: The captain of the spaceship, Rivet is a male robot and inventor that serves as the genius to the kids, offering them different kinds of his inventions.
- Widgit: The spaceship's navigator, Widgit is a female robot who performs poorly compared to other robots but sympathizes living things native to Earth.
- Socket: The spaceship's security officer, Socket is a simpler robot, unlike the others. As the oldest of the three, his parts frequently fall off, with Rivet reattaching back the parts.
- Robin Harrison: A ten-year-old human boy, Robin thinks the arrival of the robots in his background is the best thing in his life. He experiments the robots' creations, with degrees of success and failure.
- Daisy Harrison: The slightly older twin sister of Robin, Daisy isn't as wise as her age in contrast to him, despite believing the contrary. She also tries the robots' creations.
- Sam: The Harrisons' dog, Sam was given a voice box into his collar from the robots in order to speak. He is talkative about himself, situations, and other characters.
