CASIO G-SHOCK Japanese YouTube channel has surprised us with a G-Shock x Transformers Collaboration Video.
We have got a very cool CGI video featuring a G-Shock G-Steel watch that transforms into a robot that resembles Optimus Prime. This is part of the celebration for G-Shock 35th anniversary. According to Snakas Blog this could be the collaboration PV which was announced by Takara Tomy at Tokyo Comic Con.
As cool as it looks, it seems that the collaboration is only for the promotional video and we have no indication of plans for a transforming figure. Be sure to get back to our forums for any future update.
You can see the video after the jump and then share your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

Because, at places like the workplace, many people cannot look at their phones to tell the time? Looking at a watch is faster, too.
Anyway, I'm surprised that there is no limited edition TF version of this watch, with engraved Autobot symbols and film Prime blue/red flames worked into the design, etc.

No reason they can't do that and have the insignia prominently featured so whoever sees it can tell right away.

in a nutshell it's just a line of Shock resistant durable Waterproof/weatherproof/sweatproof Tactical type of line that Casio and other KO Walmart/Dollar store brands have done since 1983 and so on.
G-Shock means "Gravitational Shock".

What's G-Shock?

As a watch collectors, pretty much….
Well, did they reveal the caseback yet? I'd be more interested if they're something unique about that.

I see nothing about it that connects it to TFs in any way, it's just a watch. Whoop-dee-shit.
JukeOutlander
So the collaboration is just for the video. No limited version of the watch with an autobot symbol. Pfff booo.
John TheDestroyer
I would absolutely buy a figure of this. That bot mode is badass.

They probly used it as inspiration but I dont really see that design in this Prime

cool art. Terrible Watch. you can find those same watches at Walmart for about 5 bucks in some cases, and they aren't truly waterproof.
Also, what's the point of watches anymore when ya got Phones? XD
