We had previously reported the G-Shock x Transformers Collaboration Video featuring a G-Shock G-Steel watch that transforms into a robot that resembles Optimus Prime. Now we have a look at the complete CGI Model of this character.
Via Japanese site prtimes.jp has shared the complete CGI robot mode of the robot we saw in the promotional video and we also get the bio and background story of this character named G3 Prime. He is an ancient guardian of the life forms of the whole universe who sensed a distortion in time and appeared in our era. He can manipulate the flow of time and repair temporal distortion.
While the CGI model looks great, there are no plans to release a proper toy of G3 Prime, and it will be just used as part of the promotional campaign for the G-SHOCK G-STEEL watch.
You can check the mirrored images 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.

JukeOutlander
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
