This article is about the Argentinean Transformer. For the disembodied Autobot, see Freedom Fighter.
The Radio AM Robot is a Transformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
I hear the talking of the DJ, can't understand just what does he say?

The Radio AM Robot may look like a cross between Megatron and Soundwave, but he's probably the only Transformer who can pick up the farm report—in Spanish!

Toys

Generation 1

  • Radio AM Robot (AM radio, 1987)
I understand just a little, no comprende, it's a riddle.
An original mold that takes design cues from Generation 1 Megatron (head), Blaster (hips), Omega Supreme (arms), and Soundwave (lower legs), Radio AM Robot transforms into a working AM radio powered by a 9-volt battery.
He was released only in Argentina by Comando Toys, and was available in two different color schemes: one baby blue, blue and grey, and one very dark green and red.
Curiously, the Radio AM Robot is equipped with a sword that is almost an exact duplicate of the sword included with the first Japanese release of Generation 1 Megatron, though the handle is shaped differently.



Trivia
