Acroyear X - AX-13 AcroVoltech

Microman 2004 AX-13 AcroVoltech was the third member of the Acroyear-X series. (Acroyear-X was the evil counterpart to Microman Master Force). The designs of the new Acroyears followed the King Walder designs (enemy of Henshin Cyborg) rather than that of the Acroyears from the original 1970's Microman line. Because of this design concept, the new Acroyear-X might take some getting used to, but since the new Microman designs were more akin to the Henshin Cyborgs, having the bad guy followed the same design philosophy made a lot more sense than turning these villains into the mechanical beings from vintage Microman. However, as in Microman Master Force series, Acroyear-X had plenty of design elements that were homage to both Microman and Henshin Cyborg villains. AcroVoltech had one of the least Acroyear or Walder like appearance at least initially. He had the 60's retro style Martian alien design (big brain encase in glass tube jar) and toting a "ray" gun. However, with closer examination one can spot various Acroyear element in the design, and there was a good reason for this as he had alternate mode that turn him into Acroyear First (A30X) look alike.

AcroVoltech has an off-white pearl body with purple pin striping. He originally was going to have a purple clear body, Takara probably changed the color due to similarity to Biom color scheme. Pearl white was a bit of an unusual color for Acroyear even for the 2004 line but the color do work well. His chest had positive and negative marking (to emphasize his electric charge body). Voltech had plastic tube that encase his head with astronaut suit like body armor. His armor had design that were both homage to Acroyear (A30X) design and electric equipment-like design. The body armor had tube, capacitor, wiring and tube design with backpack with two electrode ball. The armor design seem to be a take on the new Magne Power Acroyear looks. His arm also had electrical bulb arm bands. The tube can also be used to connect to his gun. The gun tip was design to look like Acroyear 1 head and can be removed and replaced the brain head.

The electrode arm can be removed and thought not part of the official instruction, the arms can be attach to the arm socket and gave Voltech Acroyear 1's ball fist and mechanical arms. However, this was not a total fit as they were design for the thicker chrome pegs on the armor. His feet also had Acroyear-like design along with battery posts-like "toes". All in all AcroVoltech was one very clever design with hidden Acroyear 1 mode that incorporate into his alien look and electricity theme.

Acroyear AcroVoltech

AcroCleve developed unusual brain and allowed him to manage data, hacking and network with computer. He also had one million volts of electrical energy store that can be discharge via his armor electrode along with powerful electromagnetic waves gun.
