He has been hating the Coopers since Ancient Egypt (that's my hypothesis). What if Le Paradox had a group of people to make the metal and technology and build the machine for Clockwerk? Since he had a mortal body, he hated the Coopers so much, that he wanted the Cooper line to end. For that, he needs a machine, and that's when Le Paradox could have walked in. To build the armor, he would need a criminal blacksmith, transportation, another time machine, someone who could provide raw materials, and a technology expert. Thinking Penelope would be an obvious choice for technology, but seems a little too obvious. Anyway, since the Sly series goes to every country ONCE, excluding France and China, since the Cooper Gang resides in Paris when they are not stealing, and they needed inside the Cooper Vault in Sly 3, I was thinking: Egypt for Slytunkhamen Cooper I, Scotland Sleigh MacCooper, London for Thaddues Winslow Cooper III, Germany for Otto Van Cooper, then back to Egypt the "prevent" Clockwerk from transfering his soul, into his present day form, the dreaded machine.

Truuu but I doubt that would happen officially because if Clockwerk didn't transfer his soul Sly wouldn't have met Bentley and Murray, because his father wouldn't have been killed and he wouldn't have gone into an orphanage. even tho its a cool thought, I doubt it will happen/hope it doesn't(no offense)

One thing I don't understand is how Penelope would have given the parts to Clockwerk... the Cooper Gang fought him in 2002-2004, right? And they had just met Penelope in 2005? They had no connection before then.. (I know you said Le Paradox but it was said that Penelope gave him the plans to the time machine from Bentley's blueprints or whatever, he didn't know how to do it before 2002). Also imo, if it were to be like this, I would feel like it demeans Clockwerk's villainous yet intelligent character. Wonder if there's some other explanation to him getting his parts...

but yh nice ideas and all, tyvm.
