Antex

Antex was an Argentine company that held the license to manufacture and market Transformers toys in Argentina during Generation One and Generation 2.

Unusually, Antex acquired the Transformers license second-hand through the Brazilian TF licensee Estrela, instead of going directly to Hasbro. As a result, Antex's G1 toyline featured the same distinct logos and character identities as the Estrela version.

During Generation 2, Antex reused the Jumpstarter/Salt-Man molds for the Argentine-exclusive Decepticons Robot-Man X and Robot-Man Z.
