	Comando Toys' two currently-known releases - the fully-fledged transforming figure "[[Radio AM Robot]]" and the non-transforming "[[Walkie Talkie Robot]]" - arrived in 1987 to the Argentinian market. Radio AM Robot was originally made by Taiwanese company [[Best Join]], whereas Walkie Talkie Robot was manufactured by Hong Kong company Artlight... And both of them had quite a bit of [[IP infringement]] going for them, with Radio AM Robot being a bizarre mish-mash of different components of Generation 1 [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]], [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]], [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]], and [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]], and Walkie Talkie Robot having its designed ripped off the titular robot from anime ''[[wikipedia:God Mars\|Rokushin Gattai Godmars]]''. These releases would remain exclusive to the Argentinian market, making Radio AM Robot in particular into quite a bit of a rare figure overseas these days.

	Noticeably, the packaging for Walkie Talkie Robot has a similar design to that of [[Nasta]]'s U.S.-released Generation 1 merchandise, even using what seems to be the same font and color for the product name, leading to the possibility that Hasbro might have intended to treat Comando Toys as a regional equivalent of Nasta (~~notably~~, ~~Nasta also~~ primarily focused on electronic toys).
