    It seems it's for China. An official video and images has been shared in both Hasbro and G-Shock Weibo accounts. There's a Bumblebee G-Shock on the works too.

    the stand looks chintzy as shit. more like a novelty radio from 2005 than a quality watch stand or a quality cybertron display.

    I like the Bumblebee and Megatron watches, but the Optimus one just looks really busy. And that stand is a bit eh, kind of a cool idea but the giant not-watch faces kinda ruin the look.

    Aren't those watches supposed to unclip from the strap and transform into tiny robots? Who else had one of those as a kid? :)

    what part of that makes it not worth "pulling out all the stops" for a $100+ watch? adults, transformers fans, or watch collectors?

    Maybe it to open in a different way, reveal more details, not just... That, maybe a way to hide the (clock) details in planet mode anything to justify it

    These honestly look really neat, but can we really go "back" to the 80s when this franchise has never left them?

    $100+ watches? Watch collectors laugh at sub $700 watches.
