Almost had a new Timewarrior release, but these two working watches that transform, are named Auto Ceptor and Time Limit.
They appear to be new watches, not re-releases of existing transforming watches, but they must packed with features to cost US$280 each!!!

Images at BBTS are prototypes, and the final product is due for release in April.

Looks like TakaraTomy like using the 'Label' name in their sub-lines.

Holy crap $280 thats a bit rich, what are these made by the swiss or something, i think by giving them the Transformers logo they can charge like wounded bull.

A tad out of my range. Looks kind of ok. Not to impressive, kind of plain and simple in terms of transforming.
I think I'll stick to my regular non-transforming watch

Autoceptor (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autoceptor) is an Autobot from G1. :) Time Limit is a new character though.

I so want to get my hands on Time Warrior or one of the G2 Watches that transform. These however while cool are way out of my price range..

These are a lot more expensive because I think (hope) it will be more than just a watch. It'd have to be. You can get most game consoles or game pads, or even many hand-held electronic telecomunications devices for under US$280. This transforming watch HAS to have electronic features inline with those gadgets. Or else, who is gonna want something at that price just because it is a super-rare Transformers toy... :p

True, I may get one if it is packed with cool features but if it isn't then no.

I am afraid that they will go the way of Music Label Soundwave in which it is an awesome figure but a horribly basic but expensive MP3 player.

Pass.

The watch's fuctionality is a bit crap. It's like a super expensive Tamagotchi. I expected something better for a watch aimed at adult collectors.
