Jump to navigation Jump to search
Maxitrek was to have been an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the Kronoform toyline).

Maxitrek is one of several Transformers who turn into wristwatches. Maxitrek has been described as a "marching time machine", but aside from the "marching" part, other abilities Maxitrek might have remain unknown.

  • Maxitrek (Kronoform, 1986?)
    • Accessories: Watchband
No toy of Maxitrek was ever released. Maxitrek's name, photographs of the toy, and presumed package art were depicted in Takara's 1986 US product catalog. As an intended new Transformers-branded Kronoform release, a full page in the catalog was given over to the figure, where one of the toy's main selling points was that it featured a small windup motor that could make Maxitrek walk "with an authentic robotic gait".
It is unknown if Maxitrek was repurposed from a potential unproduced design from Takara's Watch Q toyline in Japan or if the figure was specifically designed for the Transformers sub-releases of the Kronoform line. The catalog photographs of the toy show the words "Watch Robo" below the digital display, consistent with previous Watch Q releases, which suggests the former possibility.
It is also unknown why Maxitrek was never ultimately produced, although the most likely explanation is simply that the Kronoform toyline ended before Maxitrek could be released.

Notes

[edit]
  • Maxitrek's product description in the 1986 Takara catalog, representing everything that is known about the figure, specifically uses gender-neutral language to describe their abilities.
  • Maxitrek isn't specifically indicated to be an Autobot or Decepticon. However, since the other three Transformers Kronoform figures were all released in Autobot packaging, and the Autobot version of the Transformers logo was used on Maxitrek's page in Takara's product catalog, it's a safe assumption that Maxitrek is probably also an Autobot.
