The Clarkov NF-3000 (クラーコフNF-3000, Kurākofu NF-3000) is a mobile base of Super GUTS, used often for outer space missions. It can move on land, in the sea, air and space. It is normally stationed in the Earth’s orbit with its four-armed propulsion modules folded in. When needed, the base can transform into its High Mobility Mode by folding out its arm modules. Its primary weapon is the heat ray-firing Gyuvern Cannon (ギューベルン砲, Gyūberun-hō).[1]

Sometime in Antarctica, the Clarkov was taken over by Sufume which proceeded to draw the TPC's artificial sun to Earth. The Clarkov Won't Surface! Part 1 The vessel was freed by the efforts of Super GUTS. The Clarkov Won't Surface! Part 2

When the TPC and Super GUTS retrieved a Sphere fragment from Pluto via the Clarkov, the fragment assimilated with one of its Neo Maxima Engines, forcing them to eject it to Mount Rokkō, Osaka. The Smile of Destruction: Part 1

During Dyna's final confrontation with the Gran-Sphere, the Clarkov NF-3000 was armed with the Neo Maxima Cannon. After Dyna cleared the path to allow it to lock onto the Gran-Sphere, the Clarkov fired the cannon. Final Chapter III: Toward Tomorrow...

Trivia[]

  • Its design is based on the English alphabet "X".
  • In its initial design, the central bridge is made to resemble Mechagodzilla's face to make the ship look life-like.
  • The command tower on the top of the Grandome was originally designed to swing around to the back so that the Clarkov could dock with the base. The idea was ultimately scrapped and the swing-back gimmick on the toy was its remnant.[2][3]
