Following Diakron, the Kronoform line was an unsuccessful attempt by Takara to market various Diaclone and Microman toys in North America which had not been licensed by Hasbro for The Transformers franchise.
Also included in the line were "Time Machine" transforming watch toys, many of which were taken from Takara's Watch Q toyline in Japan. Three of the watches, Autoceptor, Deceptor, and Kaltor were released in The Transformers packaging, with a smaller Kronoform logo also printed on the boxes.
The Robot Time Machine (as Autobot) and Scorpia toys would later see official releases as Transformers in the US by Takara during the Transformers: Generation 2 toyline in 1993.
This is the Kronoform Robotic World. The originators are protectors of the universe directed by Diakron Commanders.
The Terminators are evil robots attempting to enforce their rule. Create your Kronoform Robot World with this space age concept.The entire Kronoform story[1]

Toy Range (Incomplete)
Joint Transformers releases
Others
- Robot Time Machine - Originally released in Takara's Micro Change line as "MC-06 Watch Robo," this toy would go on to inspire a flurry of characters in the pages of Ask Vector Prime.
- Silver deco: Pre-Autobot, later repurposed as Azimuth.
- Gold deco: Not released in Transformers but did later inspire the appearance of another Azimuth.
- Blue deco: Not released in Transformers but did later inspire the appearance of Ephemeris.
- Black deco: Not released in Transformers but did later inspire the appearance of Meantime.
- Scorpia: Pre, um, Scorpia.
Fiction
The Terminators unleashed the chronal bioweapon Hytherion against the Originators in their war at the end of time in Cymond 772.0 Beta. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/15
Notes
- Prior to the launch of the Kronoform toyline, Takara released the Robot Time Machine/Autobot mold in the US as a one-off release, with the individual figure named Kronoform. As Kronoform, the toy was granted a commercial which rather ambitiously claims it can transform into five different modes "and more".
- The Autoceptor and Deceptor figures were apparently unique to the Kronoform toyline, their designs not having been previously released in Takara's Watch Q toyline.
- A potential fourth Transformers Kronoform figure, Maxitrek, was shown in Takara's 1986 US product catalog, but was ultimately never released.
