- Salt-Man X is an Autobot from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Salt-Man X doesn't know the meaning of the word "impossible". He relentlessly searches the skies for Decepticons at supersonic speeds, catching them by surprise with his gamma-ray gun.[1]
Toys
Transformers
- Salt-Man X (Salt-Man, 1985?)
- Accessories: "Gamma-ray gun"
- 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.
- Like most South American Transformers of the era, he was available in several color schemes. Brazilian company Estrela released him in red limbs/white torso (as seen on his box art) and green limbs/light-gray torso, the latter seemingly much more common. Antex released him in Argentina in both green limbs/bright-white torso and red limbs/yellow torso, once again the latter seemingly being the rarer combination... despite showing the Estrela decos on the box.
- Some Argentinean versions of the Salt-Men have unchromed silver-plastic rifles rather than the normal chromed version, presumably this was a late-run change, one that would carry forward to the later Antex Robot-Man X and Robot-Man Z releases of these toys.
- Like most of South American Transformers, Salt-Man X has poor-quality paper decals that are prone to losing their adhesiveness in short order.

Notes
- Salt-Man X and Salt-Man Z's names are based on "jump" in Portuguese and Spanish, saltar being the verb and salto being the noun.
