	: Sold exclusively by [[Antex]] in [[Argentina]] alongside his wavemate [[Robot-Man Z]], Robot-Man X is essentially a re-release of Antex's 1985 [[Salt-Man X]], itself a [[redeco]] of the Hasbro [[Jumpstarter]] [[Topspin (G1)#Toys\|Topspin]], transforming into a Cybertronic air-skiff. It features a [[pull-back motor]] in [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]] that propels it forward on smooth surfaces; after a short run the latch that keeps it spring-loaded legs releases, causing it to [[Autotransformation\|flip forward and into upright robot mode]]. A small lever on the back of its head adjusts the timing of when its head hits the floor, and thus its kickoff angle, hopefully making this [[gimmick]] work better. This release's stickers are factory-applied rather than on a customer-applied sticker sheet, and the adhesive seems stronger to boot.		: Sold exclusively by [[Antex]] in [[Argentina]] alongside his wavemate [[Robot-Man Z]], Robot-Man X is essentially a re-release of Antex's 1985 [[Salt-Man X]], itself a [[redeco]] of the Hasbro [[Jumpstarter]] [[Topspin (G1)#Toys\|Topspin]], transforming into a Cybertronic air-skiff.
