Secret Agent Clank Holo-Vision series
From Ratchet & Clank wiki
Secret Agent Clank was a popular Holo-Vision series broadcast all over the Solana and Bogon galaxies. It starred Clank as the hero and Ratchet as his bumbling chauffeur. The series was actually a parody of the James Bond Movies. Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile gave the origins of the show and Ratchet and Clank's untimely delemour involving the MCGuFIN that occured along with it.
[edit] Holo-Films
The first Secret Agent Clank film seen was at the beginning of the adventure. Clank was on a winning streak against crime boss Maximillian, who then sent saber wielding ninja bots to attack the agent. Clank defeated them both and electrocuted Maximillian with a hanging light. He then asked Jeeves (Ratchet), to bring the car around and to 'mind the ejector seat this time'.
The second film was being recorded during Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. [source?] After escaping an assasination attempt from Maximillian, Clank pursued him through the heavy traffic, eventually fighting The Terror of Talos who was guarding the Baroness (played by Courtney Gears). Also, Ratchet was fired for his clumsiness on stage (namely, constantly pushing the eject button insted of the one that activates the cloaking device) and was replaced by Skrunch as Clank's sidekick.
The final part of the film was seen at the premiere at the end of the game. Clank fled Maxmillion's agents on a hoverboard while they were trapped by yetis. At the end of a cliff, Maximillian confronted Clank in a helicopter, only to be brought down by Skrunch and the BGAMD.
The series was very popular among the Solana Galaxy's inhabitants, with Ratchet being a notable exception due to his pitiful role on the show. Ratchet was thus often disregarded as a mere chauffeur despite the fact that he did most of the work! Also, many inhabitants confused the show for being reality, among them the insane Dr. Nefarious and the Galactic President. It was the series that prompted Nefarious to attempt to bring Clank over to his side, thinking him to be a valuable ally in the fight against organic beings.
After Deadlocked, Clank made another Secret Agent Clank holo film called: For Your Optical Sensors Only with Venus.
In Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile Ratchet and Clank were invited to preview the Bio Matter Converter technology but it trapped them in a Secret Agent Clank vid-comic. They needed to fight their way out of there. The vid-comic featured Security Tanks, Chickenbots, and Explodos as-well as introducing Maximillian, Secret Agent Clank's arch-nemesis.
The show was also mentioned by some Hoolefoids in Quest for Booty. They were talking about Ratchet, mentioning that he had saved 10 Galaxies in four cycles and still found time to play the butler on "that Secret Agent Clank show".
