Big Bad Toy Store has two listing for Transforming watches, Auto Ceptor and Time Limit. Both toys are priced at $299 and bear more than a passing resemblance to the old Chrono Watches.
We've got several of the old non-offiical watches, which we call Time Warrior, so this is a pretty cool idea as far as we are concerned - although a very pricy one.
The listings do not state they are Transformers, and we believe that they will not be from the Transformers line.

Cybertron.ca board member Pascal has posted a textual description of a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe toy which he recently required. You can view the original post be clicking the link above or by reading the quote below.
"-dual shock absorbers for lower legs
-unique feet: formed from the front portion of the car (right front
side of the car on the left, left front side on the right), each foot
appears to be either a tire split in 2 halves with a stabilizer (foot)
sandwiched in between OR a tire sandwiched between 2 stabilizers
(meaning he would have roller feet)... probably the 2nd option...
-2 pairs of struts linking the upper legs to the lower torso
-chest is formed from the rear section of the car (outer parts) with a
black section in the middle (exposed when you lift up the middle rear
section) with a silver Autobot symbol on the right (think Alt. Meister
when you lift the hood)
-clear blue windshield hanging off the back
-wheels (near the elbows) and rear car sections (pointing forward) hanging off the arms
-hands: 1 thick thumb and 2 thick fingers (a bit like Blackout)
-head is bit a Megatron-esque, but different... hard to describe... has blue light piping
-middle rear section of the car is pointing up on the back in robot
mode (like Trans Scanning Bumblebee) and you can see 4 exhaust pipes
-hood halves hanging off the back as wings (front pointing down)
-red/orangy tail lights
-clear headlights
-blue knees
-car has long and pointy rear view mirrors (probably rubber)
-small molded Corvette symbol on front of the hood

TFClub board member chenkofs have posted the first in packaging images of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Knock out figure. The images include the characters profile which reads as the following:
"Though he is an incredibly flashy and skilled fighter, KNOCK OUT is
also desperately insecure. He practices awesome combat maneuvers
constantly in private to be sure that the other Autobots will notice
him on the battlefield. His highest ambition is to be the leader of a
special combat team, and to get the combination retrofit everyone has
been talking about."

4 more auctions have appeared on ebay priced from 99c to $199 for testshots of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Ramjet and Skywarp toys (although there is also an outside possibility these could be Botcon figures, though that is quiet remote).
The new auctions show that Ramjet has the original Movie Starscream head, whilst Skywarp has Movie Thundercrackers remolded head.
Here are the auctions for Ramjet and Ramjet again, followed by Skywarp and the second Skywarp.
