Autoceptor is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Better name: "Rush Hour".

A speedy reconnaissance agent, Autoceptor is one of several Transformers who turn into wristwatches. It is unknown if he retains his small size when in his non-watch modes.


Toys

Generation 1

  • Autoceptor (Kronoform, 1984)
Autoceptor is a functional "5-Function" digital wristwatch (month, day, hour, minutes, seconds... hell of a range there, huh?) from Takara’s Kronoform line, revived as Transformers merchandise. He transforms from a robot to a car of undetermined model, and has a third watch mode for when he was attached to the plastic watch-band. He came in at least four different colors; gray, black, dark blue and red.


Trivia

  • The packaging and instructions for the toy parse the name as both "Autoceptor" and "Auto Ceptor" in varying places. "Autoceptor" looks less idiotic.
  • The packaging for Autoceptor shows the entire Kronoform line for 1984. How many of these toys were actually sold in Transformers packaging is unknown, it's possible only Autoceptor and Kaltor were. (The third known G1 Kronoform, Deceptor, is not shown, and while Scorpia is, the only confirmed Transformers release of that mold is in Generation 2).
