Radio AM Robot


 * The Radio AM Robot is a neutral(?) Transformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.



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!

(Note: Radio AM Robot was produced under license by Comando Toys of Argentina, and sports both the official Transformers logo and a 1987 Hasbro copyright on his box. What relationship Comando Toys had, if any, to fellow South American toy companies Antex or Estrella is unknown.)

Generation 1

 * Radio AM Robot (AM radio, 1987)




 * An original mold that takes design cues from Generation 1 Megatron (head), Blaster (hips) 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

 * Nowhere on his box is Radio AM Robot indicated as an Autobot or a Decepticon. However, as no Decepticon-branded toys were evidently sold in Argentina until Generation 2's Robot-Man X and Robot-Man Z, it is possible that Radio AM Robot is an Autobot by default.
