'''Time Warriors''' are wristwatches used by the [[Autobot]]s and some of their [[human]] allies. That's pretty much the long and short of it. One might imagine that they could [[Heinrad|stop time]] or [[Meantime|reverse time]] or tell you the time out loud or ''something.'' But as far as anyone knows... no.<br />

The Time Warriors arrived with the [[Reinforcements from Cybertron!|reinforcements from Cybertron]], and the Autobots used them to coordinate their attacks on Decepticon bases. {{storylink|Earthlings: THE S.T.A.R.S. need your help now!}}<br />
<br />
The Autobots also made Time Warriors available to human allies, who used them to keep track of the time during their own missions. The nature of those missions is unclear; all that is known is that they were conducted while Decepticons were absent but expected to return.<br />
<br />
{{note|The human involvement is inferred from a blurb that conspicuously uses the second person, bringing the reader into the story as a nameless character on a mission. This would become common in [[S.T.A.R.S.]]-related fiction, where the reader is being recruited as a human ally. But this particular bit is more ambiguous because it predates the introduction of S.T.A.R.S. We retroactively apply the S.T.A.R.S. storytelling model here, but it could be interpreted differently.}}<br />

*'''Time Warrior''' (1985)<br />
<br />
: Time Warriors are watches that look like Autobot symbols. Pressing the mouth splits the faceplate to reveal the time. That's kind of like transforming?<br />
<br />
: They were only available as a mail-away offer, advertised via various [[Pack-in material|pack-in flyers]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The Time Warriors featured an LCD screen which could display a wide range of numerical values, which periodically incremented in a fixed sequence. Although publicity material typically portrayed a value of 6:32, this was merely one of several possible displays, and was no more common or significant than any of the others.<br />
