Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Transformers Sideways figure, always use firm but gentle pressure when converting components to avoid stressing the plastic joints. When transforming, ensure all tabs are aligned before pressing them into their slots; forcing a misaligned part can lead to permanent damage. This figure is compatible with other accessories within the Age of the Primes series. For care, keep the figure away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent warping of the intricate plastic parts. Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust from the crevices in the robot's armor.
