Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, carefully remove the figure and the three accessories from the box. The figure is preassembled, meaning no additional construction is required. When converting the figure, follow the included printed instructions to ensure the plastic joints are aligned correctly during the transformation process; do not force the plastic if you encounter resistance.
Compatibility-wise, this figure is designed to scale with other toys in the Transformers Legacy: United Core Class series. To maintain the condition of the plastic, store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use chemical cleaners or submerge the figure in water, as this may damage the paint applications.
