Not Just In Time
Seibertron.com is finally back on Real Gear time! For the first time since February 2007, we are adding new Real Gear Robots galleries. Say hello to Meantime and his redeco Midnighter XR-4.
Meantime came out in 2007 as a digital wristwatch Transformer. It is not a real watch, but the size is close to one. His face flips for either robot or watch mode, and pulling down his legs pops his head and shoulders into place. He even has a sculpted mini watch on his wrist for a fun extra touch.
Midnighter XR-4 followed in 2008 as a repaint from the final Real Gear wave. Same gimmicks, new colors, and the same quirky charm. Both toys stand as oddball pieces of the Transformers 2007 movie era, when Hasbro experimented with unusual ideas.
We know these are two galleries nobody was waiting on, but here they are anyway -- long overdue, fashionably late, and maybe just in time.
For more watch-themed fun, check out our review of the Infantry x Transformers Optimus Prime watch. And if you want to explore beyond Real Gear, our Movie Universe galleries cover the full Bayverse toy era.

Meantime is one of my childhood figures! I remember getting him on Christmas Eve 2007. I remember liking how he was characterized as a prankster in spite of the potential of his powers. Back in those days, I didn't keep the bios, so this is the first time I've read it since then! Also back in those days, I was small enough to be able to comfortably wear him around my wrist.
