Takara Chrono Label.

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.

These are not existing characters that I know of. Can pass with ease~ :D

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

I want but cannot afford! :~(

Autoceptor is an Autobot from G1. :) Time Limit is a new character though.

Weren't these $10 at Paddys Markets in the 80's?

Probably... I had a few Kronoformers... I dunno if they were KOs though. :p

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..

did the G2 watches come out in NZ?

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.

Who knows..

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.
