The watch is named 'Meantime', perhaps after the Greenwich Mean timezone?
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I was thinking that they just decided to use the word 'meantime,' but the GMT is a good guess to.

I have the feeling that they've run out of good names. Alot of the real gear names suck.

Just the names? I think this whole line is a little off the deep end. And I thought that Lucas and Jackson were merchandising whores!

He's a Decepticon Watch. He tells the time and he is mean. He is Meantime.

He's probably named from the phrase "in the mean time", as in the time between right now and whatever upcoming event referred to.
Also the perfect time in which to get in a few rounds of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

I like the Laserbeak Real Gear figure (Booster X38 or whatever he's called). That's about the only Real Gear figure I'm interested in getting.

He's a bad MF. They wont call him Goodtime, would they? It sound very logical to me.

Really? I think the Real Gear names are some of the best - they show the most originality and turn some ordinary word into something kinda cool... y'know, the same way TRANSFORMERS works? By turning something ordinary like a watch or a phone into something cool like a living robot?
I think Meantime is one of the most unique and clever Transformers names ever.
Much more original than say... Fangry, or Horri-bull.
