Clockzilla has faced Mecclocky before…

I wonder if that bust isn’t made of bronze but is actually Eddy encased in carbonite. He has made himself immortal so that he can continue reaping the souls of the elderly for eternity. His mind is now melded with Clockzilla.

HAHA! Love it.

Yes, I believe that Vader encased the real Eddy Savoie in Carbonite. In that giant gaping maw of a window at the top of Clockzilla, which serves as Cloud City.

His carbonite encased body would definitely be seated in the maw of Clockzilla. Gilles Bib Fortuna would be his right hand man.

Clockzilla issuing forth Tim Hortons tasteless gruel might be worse than a fire-breathing dragon

There's a nasty clockzilla wannabe on Lake Shore Blvd West in Long Branch/New Toronto that arguably is more offensive. However the ugliest new development within site of a highway is that eyesore between Stoney Creek and Grimsby: Waterview Condos by LJM Developments: https://waterviewcondominiums.ca/

The wraparound-paneling accent look has really run its course. Hyped gimmicks on a shoestring budget. A box like X Condos would be far preferable.

Clockzilla must have spawned on his way to battle Missingsausage City Hall. He laid that bastard son in Etobicoke, and also this one on Davenport Road:

110 Davenport Road

Will they grow larger?

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, I actually think that that's a cool little building. Could do without the clock and pyramids, though.

I agree, but I'd go so far as to say I like the clock and pyramids too... without those, it would be fairly plain and nondescript. It's a cool product of its time.
