- Accessories: "Gamma ray gun"
- Salt-Man X is a redeco of the Jumpstarter Topspin, transforming into a Cybertronic air-skiff. 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 is red and white, but it was also available in green and off-white (Brazil) as well as green and white (Argentina). Some Argentinean versions of the toy have unchromed silver-plastic rifles rather than the normal chromed version.
- Like most of the South American Transformers, Salt-Man X has poor-quality paper decals that are prone to losing their adhesiveness in short order.
- This mold was also used to make Robot-Man X.
Trivia
- Salto means "jump" in Portuguese and Spanish.
