Watch This Magnus

I'm pretty sure you're well aware but, it's Christmas. While out shopping I've been taking notice of all the licensed character watches. They're something fun to stick in a stocking. A cool small gift. As usual, there's plenty of various Transformers ones next to the Baby Yoda ones. 

It's funny how these days you just take them for granted. Some are little toys, or just have a symbol, but you know they'll be there. Back in the day this particular set was a pretty hot commodity. Released in Japan around Scramble City/2010 time and later in G2 here in the US. 

There was plenty of Transformers fans trying to complete a set back then. They're pretty cool, it's easy to see why someone would want to collect them all. I wonder if in a few years will fans who are kids now would be trying to do the same with those watches we take for granted. I kinda hope so.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park watches at Burger King

Got an idea (I originally spelled that eyedeal), how about we all go buy whatever Jurassic Park/World watch we can find at our local stores and go to Burger King. Let's all be a special kind of rad.

Transformers Watch commercials

These would be later released in America during Generation 2, but dig that action deployment of the robot mode in the commercial! If you have noticed the amount of watch commercials I've been posting, I've had watches on the mind lately. The time to upgrade my trusty Pebble is near and the options I've been looking over are many. Part of me doesn't want a Fitbit since they bought out Pebble in the first place... but I do kind of like some of their offerings. I'd really like a Samsung, but the model I want is just a little more than I think these things should cost. If only there was a Kronoform option!

Kronoform watches commercial

Being the second Kronoform commercial I've posted this week, I think it's safe to say it's been on my mind. Thing is, I think Microman and it's related extensions are super neat. Part of the charm of Transformers is the idea that the car that just drove by could be an alien robot from space. Microman follows this same idea, just the adventure is so tiny it's just under our noses. With the Microchange concept, that micro-cassette you used to record a lecture in class could actually be a robot fighting a battle while your not aware. I mean, those little dudes just up and had a fight in the living room on that end table where all the remotes get thrown. Whoa.

Diakron and Kronoform are particularly sticking out to me as we put so much focus on Diaclone and Microman that what is essentially the missing link in Transformers history gets looked over. Sometimes I wonder (and I've done it here before) how things could have been IF Takara was successful and the deal with Hasbro never happened? How different would things be right now? As I was writing that, it occurred to me that the Michael Bay movies would have been a little truer to form...

Kronoform robot time machine commercial

I just realized I've been saying Kronoform wrong for all these years. That and mmmmaaaaaaannnnn this watch had so many more modes than Six Shot. Like you know that weird pose you get into when trying to do a cartwheel before you fall over? Turns out that's a battle station!

G Shock sounds like a 90's rap group

Well, that's a neat watch commercial.
