Clawdget is the SLASH ship between Claw and Gadget from the Inspector Gadget fandom.

Canon
Claw tries to do crime and kill Gadget and Gadget just wants him in jail.

Original Series
During Season 1, Episode 5 "the Amazon" of the OG series, Claw tells Annie and his men to "save Gadget" (in the context of him wanting Gadget alive just to transfer his brainwaves into the numerous robot Gadget clones.

In the Season 1, Episode 54 "Smelderado" Claw says "My Dear Gadget" as he attempts to get rid of him again, which of course fails

In Season 2, Episode 8 "The Incredible Shrinking Gadget" Dr Claw tries to employ a ray gun to shrink Inspector Gadget down to the size of a mouse so he could put him in a mouse-sized cage for whatever reasons that has to do with his obsession.

There's also the fact that he had tiny Gadget figurines and cameras around Gadget's house(and anywhere Gadget would be) which implies Claw having somewhat of an unhealthy obsession with Gadget

2015 Series
In Season 2, Episode 4 "Double O' Penny/We Heart Gadget", Claw gets matched up with Gadget at the end of the episode, he got upset about it.

In Season 2, Episode 8 "Gadget and Oatsfunkle/Metro City's Sinking" Claw devises a plan to blow up a volcano to destroy Metro City by making Gadget create more albums with Talon dressed up at Oatsfunkle. Which were the "sounds of his childhood" He gets defensive about Gadget's music when Talon says "Does it sound as bad as it looks" but quickly stops himself and says "Yes"

1999 Movie
In the moviw there would have been what people would see as "Homoerotic tension" considering with how Claw talks to to others and Gadget. Especially when blowing cigar smoke in Gadget's face right after Gadget lit it up for him, which would be read as a mocking thing but ended up having subtext for some viewers.

When RoboGadget was completed he said "Imitation is the sincerest from of flattery" as a response Kramer when he said that the prometheus has been completed per his specifications

Gadget's Last Case
One hour into the movie Claw(Debonaire) gives Gadget his number(presumebly his actual one), of course it was in a mocking way. "All those gadgets, I could use a man like you. For a janitor"

Of course this led to his arrest

Fanon
People love the idea of tragic Lovers to Enemies or just the idea of Hero/Villain ships. Sure, Claw has tried to off Gadget multiple times, but hey, it'a ship for those who like old men trying to take each other down, plus it appeals to people who love Good/Bad ships like Valvert.

It's more of a popular ship on Ao3 as of today with only 25 works, on other platforms it's a more smaller ship with only 100+ posts on Instagram and Tumblr.
