Troubleshooting

Joints feel stiff during initial transformation

Gently manipulate the joint back and forth to loosen the factory tension without applying excessive force.

Panels will not snap into place in motorcycle mode

Double-check the 23-step sequence to ensure all limbs are correctly tucked or rotated; one misaligned tab will prevent the rest of the shell from closing.

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.
