Probably the coolest part about AcroSatan figure is his armors.  Takara plan to release a walker type mecha that AcroSatan can fit in to.  The design had a cool feature where the AcroSatan shell head became the head of mechanize walker.  The design appeared in the manga but the toy was never produced by Takara.

AcroSatan Story

AcroSatans came from another dimension and intended to destroy all life- forms on earth, but they were stopped by MicroBorg and Microman.  AcroSatans are very cruel, inhuman, merciless even when one compare them to the Acroyears.

***Special Thanks to Jay Prasong for helping me finish the set!!*** 

AcroSatans were released as Microman enemy for the New Microman series.  AcroSatans are very different than other Microman figures because they are actually bend-em type action figures.   The figure came with a set of snap on armors and helmet.  AcroSatam came with a staff weapon (Satan-Lance) and missile launcher in his chest  armor.  AcroSatan body also glows in the dark.  They are definitely one of the more unusual Microman figures to be released by Takara. 

L-R: AcroSatan - SatanBlack, SatanRed and SatanBlue

Takara released three variations of AcroSatans - SatanBlack, SatanRed and SatanBlue.  The figures are essentially the same with the difference in colors of the armors which are black, red and sea-blue.  Each figures came package in the same style window-less box with only small type letters denoted the color on the box tops.

AcroSatan without the armor.  The inner body was make from glow-in-the-dark bend-em type figure.  Interestingly the body came with 5mm hole and his chrome head and hands are connected via simple peg connectors.  The body gives the figure the figure that crab-like look where the soft alien body is protected by outer armor shell.
