| The name or term "Robotman" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Robotman (disambiguation). |
- Robot-Man X is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Robot-Man X se parece a Topspin, pero es malo. Si eso lo hace aún más difícil de tolerar como persona es una incógnita.
Toys
Generation 2
- Robot-Man X (Robot-Man, 1994)
- Accessories: Rifle
- Sold exclusively by Antex in Argentina, Robot-Man X is essentially a re-release of Antex's 1985 Salt-Man X, itself a redeco of the Hasbro Jumpstarter Topspin, transforming into a Cybertronic air-skiff. It features a pull-back motor in 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 flip forward and into upright robot mode.
- Despite the toy's box art showing the character in red and white, there is no evidence Robot-Man X was ever released in such a deco. The only color schemes that have been confirmed are red limbs with a yellow torso, or green limbs with a white torso.
- Robot-Man X's gun is unchromed grey plastic; while most of the original run of the Antex Salt-Men had chromed guns, some late-run releases had unchromed gray guns, presumably as a cost-cutting measure.
- Like most of the South American Transformers, Robot-Man X has poor-quality paper decals that are prone to losing their adhesiveness in short order.

Notes
- Technically, "Generation 2" does not appear on the Robot-Man packaging, but that's also true for some of the Hasbro Generation 2 toyline packaging, and it does use the Generation 2 font, faction symbol, card style, etc, so....
- The packaging also gives us the tagline "Un salto mas hacia el futuro", meaning "One more leap into the future"... which is pretty freakin' great, honestly.
