Kaltor

Kaltor is an Autobot from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families (via the Kronoform toyline).

Other Kronoforms might be thinkers or lovers, but Kaltor is clearly a fighter.

Kaltor transforms from a robot to a time machine styled after a human calculator watch.

It is unknown whether he needed to be in watch mode to travel in time, or if he was able to access the ability in both modes. It is also unknown whether he retains his tiny size when not a watch.

Fiction

Toys

The Transformers

• Kaltor (Kronoform, 1984)

• Accessories: Watchband

The Transformers Kaltor, released by Takara in the US(!) in the "Kronoform Collection", transforms from a robot to a working digital calculator-watch (remember when those were really awesome?).

Kaltor is a reuse of the Watch-Q "Watch Robo Dentaku" (ウォッチロボ電卓, "Watch Robo Calculator"),^[1] from the same subline that spawned Scorpia and most of the other Transformers watches, as well as scores of knockoffs.

Like most of the official Transformers watches, Kaltor is rather rare nowadays.

Notes

• "Kaltor" (カルター) is a Japanese-style punny abbreviation upon "calculator" (カルキュレーター).
• The packaging for Kaltor 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 Generation 1 Kronoform, Deceptor, is not shown, and while Scorpia is, the only confirmed Transformers release of that mold is in Generation 2).
