Robot-Man Z

Robot-Man Z is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

His packaging calls him a "nave especial", but we're not buying it.

Robot-Man Z puede ser un Decepticon Jumpstarter. Puede que sea malvado hermano Twin Twist. Puede que sea un especialista en demoliciones. Su conjetura es tan buena como la nuestra.

  • Accessories: Rifle

Made available by Antex exclusively in Argentina, Robot-Man Z is essentially a rerelease of Salt-Man Z, itself a redeco of Twin Twist, transforming into a Cybertronic twin-drill tank via a very simple, one-step process. Its vehicle mode features a pull-back motor which propels it forward; after a short distance, a latch on its body releases his spring-loaded legs, and the weight and momentum flips Salt-Man Z up onto its robot-mode feet. A small lever on the back of its head adjusts the timing of when its head hits the floor, and thus its kickoff angle, hopefully making this gimmick work better. His packaging art depicts him as having black limbs with a yellow torso, but the only confirmed deco is black limbs with a white torso instead.

Unlike Salt-Man Z, Robot-Man Z's gun is unchromed grey or black plastic.

Like most of the South American Transformers, Robot-Man Z has poor-quality paper decals that are prone to losing their adhesiveness in short order.
