	~~[[File:G1 Meantime Toy.jpg\|thumb\|upright=0.6\|Autobot? Vector Prime? Meantime? Forget it, let's just call him Watch Guy.]]~~		This character originated as a nameless background character in [[Dreamwave Productions]]' [[2002]] comic issue [[The War Within issue 2\|''The War Within'' #2]], a story featuring many [[Easter egg]] cameos by obscure Takara toys. In particular, penciller and prolific fan [[Don Figueroa]] drew the [[1983]] ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy MC-6 Watch Robo (ウォッチロボ), with colourist [[Rob Ruffolo]] giving generic colour schemes to all the background characters. As the mold's sole ''Transformers''-branded release came in [[1993]]'s ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)\|Generation 2]]'' toyline, circa [[2009]] a TFWiki user would document the comic cameo on the "[[Autobot (G2)]]" page despite the Dreamwave character appearing in an audience of [[Decepticon]]s, not to mention the ''Generation 2'' release having a distinctive silver deco. In [[2015]], the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would turn all the decoes of Watch Robo into individual ''Transformers'' characters, exploiting the Dreamwave character's incidental resemblance to the [[1983]] black deco which had never been used as a ''Transformers'' toy. Conveniently, the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)\|2007 ''Transformers'' toyline]] had also introduced a dark-colored Decepticon watch-former named [[Meantime (Movie)\|Meantime]]. Thus, the Dreamwave character was christened as a Generation 1 incarnation of Meantime.
