G3 Prime
G3 Prime (G3プライム Jīsurī Puraimu) is an existence above that of regular Transformers. Since time immemorial, he has watched over the lifeforms of the universe, stepping in to protect the flow of time from evil forces who would seek to manipulate it. To assist him in his duties are a multitude of amazing superpowers, including the ability to split into multiple copies by reconstituting his component molecules. With the "Gravity Field", G3 Prime can create a protective gravity barrier, and the "Gravity Veil" allows his body to resist water, lightning, and even rust. Powering all of this is the "Tough Solar Component", which allows G3 Prime to absorb and accumulate energy from sunlight, minimizing any unnecessary expenditure of energon. He's not without offensive capability, as his "Steel Spikes" let him smash anything using his metal fists.
Detecting distortions of time on Earth, G3 Prime has appeared in the modern age and uses his watch alternate mode to learn more about the humans that wear him. He doesn't really care for those who flout Ho-Ren-So, ultimately wasting the time that's so precious to him. In the end, he hopes that communication between all lifeforms will deepen, reducing the waste of even one second of time.
After being corrupted by the power of the Dark Spark, G3 Prime becomes the malicious Master Nemesis Prime (マスターネメシスプライム Masutā Nemeshisu Puraimu).
Fiction
G-Shock × Transformers
Upon the Decepticons siccing the machine-hating Geistrom onto Cybertron, G3 Prime was forced to act in defense of his homeworld. Holding the spectral Geistrom swarm back with his Gravity Field, G3 Prime realized a solution and summoned humans from Earth. When one of them held up his G-Shock watch to prove that natural lifeforms and machines could help and assist one other in affectionate cooperation, Geistrom's philosophy was shattered. Taking advantage, G3 Prime was able to seal the weakened alien by putting Geistrom into a rift he opened in an interval of time. Sapped of energy from the confrontation, G3 Prime sent the humans back to their original places, sans the G-Shock, which he used the last of his energy to turn over to Master Optimus Prime. Communicating through the watch thanks to the power of the Chrono Matrix, G3 entreated Optimus to return the watch to its owner before falling into a rift himself. Battle of G3 Prime and G-Shock
