Origins
[edit]This character originated as a nameless background character in Dreamwave Productions' 2002 comic issue 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 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 Decepticons, 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 2007 Transformers toyline had also introduced a dark-colored Decepticon watch-former named Meantime. Thus, the Dreamwave character was christened as a Generation 1 incarnation of Meantime.
