	: Unfortunately, as with other [[Eletrix]] toys (as well as the [[Bat-Robô\|Bat-Robôs]]), ~~Sport~~'s stickers use poor-quality glue that unfortunately tends to liquefy over time, often resulting in what appears to be a "wet" look. This liquefaction doesn't seem to be as aggressive in the Eletrix toys compared to the Bat-Robôs and you can still find plenty of them in the secondary market in more or less good shape (in contrast with the Bat-Robôs whose stickers seem to almost always look consistently ravaged), but alas, it is still an unfortunately omnipresent characteristic of this line-up regardless.		: Unfortunately, as with other [[Eletrix]] toys (as well as the [[Bat-Robô\|Bat-Robôs]]), Esporte's stickers use poor-quality glue that unfortunately tends to liquefy over time, often resulting in what appears to be a "wet" look.

Pressing the "Robô" button when he's in car mode causes him to move backwards and turn to his left, activating his transformation to robot mode, then sending him forward in a "walking" motion. The "Carro" button moves him forward, shifting him to car mode automatically if he's in robot mode.
