This doesn't really have anything to do with Clockwerk's origin, but I thought it was interesting.

In the third stage of fighting Clockwerk during Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus when you land on his back, I always thought that he turned his head around to face you. Owls, of course, can twist their heads like that, so I never thought anything of it. However, I wanted to listen to all of his dialogue, so I stood still on his back (he can't attack you at all, as you likely know). Then I noticed something. His neck was not twisted around. His head was actually detached from his body, and it was using two rockets to float in place. I guess we can use this as the explanation for Clockwerk getting into small places that his huge body wouldn't be able to.

We can also use that to deduce that in 2002 there was no organic material remaining in his body, and that his entire "self" was contained within the head. And theoretically, this means that somebody could be inside the head, à la Pacific Rim. (Or how Penelope was inside the Black Knight armor. I'm not personally a believer at all in the "Penelope is/made Clockwerk" theory, but that's something that people could use, I guess.)
