Transformers! Even Tell The Time!
Transformers - Robots in disguise. Transformers - They even tell the time.
Yep. I've got the cartoon theme music going through my head, haven't you?
This rather nifty watch was a send-away, which I think I acquired by sending away tokens from Transformers toy packaging (plus a sum of money, probably).
Whilst this watch is rare and highly collectable, what's even rarer is my parents letting me send away for this. I don't recall them letting me ever do that for anything else, even for competitions. In fairness, it was probably me being lazy and not getting round to it within the advertised period. 😀
The watch is pretty basic and plastic, but, hey, it "transforms". Yes indeed. Press the blue button and it transforms from the Autbot logo in to a digital watch. Wow.
Pretty much every one of these made had a design flaw in that the one of the faceplate "doors" doesn't open very well, requiring a manual transformation.
I have the instruction booklet too, below.
These watches can go for hundreds of pounds, even not working and with corroded batteries. They're a real collectors item, The booklet on its own catch fetch £50 or more.
