	: Made available by [[Antex]] exclusively in [[Argentina]] alongside his wavemate [[Robot-Man X]], Robot-Man Z is essentially a rerelease of [[Salt-Man Z#Toys\|Salt-Man Z]], itself a [[redeco]] of [[Twin Twist (G1)#Toys\|Twin Twist]], transforming into a [[Popular Cybertronian vehicle alternate modes#Drill tank\|Cybertronic twin-drill tank]] via [[Autotransformation\|a very simple, one-step process]]. Its [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]] features a [[pull-back motor]] which propels it forward; after a short distance, a latch on its body releases his spring-loaded legs, and the weight and momentum flips Salt-Man Z up onto its robot-mode feet. 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~~.

	: His [[Package art\|packaging art]] depicts him as having black limbs with a yellow torso, but it is super-unlikely the toy was released in this deco, as Antex never made the toy in those colors in the original series, despite recycling [[Estrela]]'s Brazilian-release box art for the toy (which ''did'' come in those colors in that line). Currently, the only confirmed Robot-Man Z deco so far is black limbs with a white torso, one of the original 1985 Antex Salt-Man Z decos. It's possible the 1985 blue limbs/yellow torso version was released in this series, but this has yet to be confirmed.		: His [[Package art\|packaging art]] depicts him as having black limbs with a yellow torso, but it is super-unlikely the toy was released in this deco, as Antex never made the toy in those colors in the original series, despite recycling [[Estrela]]'s Brazilian-release box art for the toy (which ''did'' come in those colors in that line).
