Transformers Salt-Man X is a redeco of the Jumpstarter Topspin, transforming into a Cybertronic spaceship. He features a pull-back motor in vehicle mode that propels him forward on smooth surfaces; after a short run the latch that keeps his spring-loaded legs releases, causing him to flip forward and into upright robot mode. He was sold in a number of color schemes; the one shown on its box art has red limbs and white body, but it was also available in green limbs and off-white torso (Brazil) as well as green limbs and white torso (Argentina). Some Argentinean versions of the toy have unchromed silver-plastic rifles rather than the normal chromed version.
Like most of South American Transformers, Salt-Man X has poor-quality paper decals that are prone to losing their adhesiveness in short order.
