Taff

Officer Harry "Taff" Murdoch was a young C.C.P.D officer bot who was friends with high ranking members of the department, such as Lieutenant Astro and Lieutenant Guru. He was stationed at 9th Street Precinct in downtown Cad City.

He appears as a minor character in Clown Force 4, where he briefly is seen inside the precinct with other members of the police force discussing the whereabouts of missing Clown Force agents, and he dies soon later in a heroic attempt to save fellow officer Finn Warren after the precinct was bombed by members of The Dingoes, a terrorist-like organized crime syndicate with roots in the wider Blue Dragon order.

Personality
Although Taff only appeared for a short time, he was shown to be a witty, fairly newbie officer to the C.C.P.D and was learning the ropes. Before the precinct was attacked, he is the comic relief of the department and is always joking with his fellow officers, and even cursed at his commissioner, Guru.

When he is held at gunpoint by a Dingoes gang member, he is scared for his life and frantically tells Astro to "give these fucking maniacs what they want" After the precinct is set on fire by a petrol bomb thrown by the gang, Taff escapes along with most other members of the force, however Officer Finn Warren was wounded and was still inside. Taff tells the rest that he is going into the burning building to save Finn, displaying his bravery and loyalty to his fellow officers. When he was inside the station, he never gave up at attempting to rescue Finn who was stuck under rubble, until his demise in the chaos.

Appearance
Taff was an average male ZV-40 model robot, and dawned a cyan and black colored paintjob. As for his eyes, he had a red visor system installed instead of regular circular eyes, which would have given him advanced vision and zoom capabilities. This visor has been seen on other robots throughout the series, such as Missile Clown. He had a regular square nose.

Taff also wore the mandatory C.C.P.D armour, and a holster for his Glock 19. The other members of the force also wore this armour, however the select officers who went with Guru on the mission to find members of Guru's old task force (Clown Force), no longer wore the armour as they weren't serving the department.

3070 and the events of Clown Force 4
In 3070, Cad City was terrorized by gang wars. One of the most powerful gangs operating were The Dingoes, an organized crime gang who were a splinter group formed by members of the vast, ancient organization, the Blue Dragon.

Taff, like the rest of his fellow officers in the C.C.P.D, were tasked with stopping the gang wars in the city. The Dingoes in particular had a fierce hatred for the department, and frequently attacked them and stole weapons and armour.

The Night of the 9th Street Precinct attack & his death
One night, after members of the Dingoes had attacked a travelling circus and executed the ringleader over drug money, the police were called and were on high alert across the city, searching for them. Word got out to the police that a yacht in the bay was being used by the Dingoes and there was gunfire and explosions heard from it. The Chief sent out a few helicopters and S.W.A.T officers on dinghies to investigate the yacht. They arrested a young, distraught Martian man on the yacht, who told them he was a member of the circus that the Dingoes had attacked and he had followed them to the ship and attacked them. Everybody else on the boat was dead, killed brutally by the Martian.

When he was brought back to 9th Street Precinct, Lieutenant Astro and Sergeant Ajax handled him to a cell. Before they could finish, Lieutenant Guru flooded onto the scene and demanded his fellow officers to let the boy go, explaining to them that his name was Rhino and he was an old friend of his, and a former agent of the now disbanded, legendary task force, the Clown Force, which Guru led.

Guru then explained to Rhino of his plans to find and reunite the other members of the task force and put an end to the gang wars. Guru was well known to be a former veteran member of the legendary team and his fellow officers respected him for it and knew of his plans to reunite the group.

Since Rhino had returned, Guru introduced him to some members of the force, including Taff. He refers to him by his full name, saying "Officer Harry "Taff" Murdoch, boy is fresh out of the academy but he's good. You'll hate him kid, just give him 10 minutes!", to which Taff replies "Yeah, fuck you too old man.... sir"

While in the boardroom, Guru explained in detail to the officers and Rhino on where he thought some of the Clown Force were living and where they should go to find them.

Suddenly, commotion and screams were heard outside the room and the doors were kicked open by an armed group of Dingoes. One of them grabbed Taff and held a pistol to his head, demanding the police to hand over guns and armour or he would be executed. Taff, scared, frantically shouted to do what they say. Sergeant Finn Warren, who was hiding behind a wall, sprung out into the room and shot at the Dingoes with an MP5, spraying the room. He managed to hit most of them. Taff broke free in the commotion and killed his hostage-taker. The surviving gang members ran out of the room, with the C.C.P.D chasing them through the precinct, splitting up. Several petrol bombs were thrown through the windows of the station by Dingoes outside, lighting the place on fire and trapping people inside.

Guru, Rhino, Astro and his team managed to escape the inferno, gunning gang members down on the way, but Finn was still inside. Taff shouted to Astro that he was going in for him, proclaiming that he had saved his life in the planning room. The brave Taff ran inside and scrambled through the burning building, with roofs collapsing and flames all around. Taff heard Finn calling for help and found him, with his leg stuck under a fallen locker. Taff told Finn that he was going to get him out, but Finn told him it was no use and that the locker was too heavy, and that he should save himself while he still can. Taff didn't listen, and piping from the ceiling collapsed on his head, crushing him to death.

Finn, who was still stuck under the locker, contemplated shooting himself in the head with his pistol before he was melted by the intense flames. The Fire Department arrived on the scene minutes later, and the flames were extinguished. The precinct was ruined, and several officers including Taff were killed. As daylight drew in, Astro, who had stayed on the scene along with others, saw the destroyed body of Taff and the wounded Finn being carried out of the precinct by paramedics. Finn, barely conscious but alive, knew that Taff was dead and latched onto Astro's arm while he passed by him on the stretcher, saying "He was a good kid." Sergeant Ajax saluted the body of their fallen ally, and the team left the scene while Finn was admitted to hospital for repairs.

Taff is not seen or mentioned again, but his death was part of the driving force for the Clown Force to put an end to the Dingoes tyranny, and uncover the secrets of the gang.
