Comando Toys was an Argentinian company which primarily produced electronic battery-powered toys.
They held the license to manufacture official Transformers toys during the 1980s, with their two releases (which remained exclusive to the Argentinian market) being imported toys extracted from, ahem... more legally grey toylines.

Notes
- It is unknown what relationship Comando Toys had, if any, to fellow Argentinian toy company Antex, as they also had the license to manufacture toys in the country (having been provided by the Brazilian Estrela rather than by Hasbro directly).
- Comando Toys also held the license to produce G.I. Joe merchandise, with their line-up consisting of a radio with an included microphone and a pair of walkie-talkies. Funnily enough, these walkie-talkies were actually the same model used for the Transformers Walkie Talkie Robots, with their arms and heads removed, their stickers exchanged, and their bodies painted in woodland camouflage (and perhaps most shockingly, they actually pass off surprisingly well as simple walkie-talkies and not amputated robots at a glance!).
