Setup & Operating Instructions
Robot Mode Features
The Ironhide figure stands at a 6.5-inch scale, featuring vivid, movie-inspired deco and high articulation for various poses. It comes with two laser blaster accessories that can be held in the figure's hands.
Transformation: Robot to Van Mode (26 Steps)
The figure features classic conversion between robot and van modes in 26 steps. This is an advanced converting figure suitable for ages 8 and up. The transformation involves folding and rotating various panels and limbs to achieve the vehicle form. Ensure all parts are securely tabbed into place for a complete van mode.
Transformation: Van to Robot Mode (26 Steps)
To convert from van mode back to robot mode, reverse the 26 steps of transformation. Carefully un-tab and unfold the vehicle panels to reveal the robot's limbs and torso. Extend the arms and legs, position the head, and ensure all joints are locked into their robot mode configuration.
Accessory Storage
The two laser blaster accessories can be stored on the figure in van mode. They can be pegged onto designated ports on the vehicle's roof or underside, integrating seamlessly with the vehicle's design.
Articulation
Ironhide features multiple points of articulation for dynamic posing, including:
- Ball-jointed head for rotation and limited up/down movement.
- Shoulder joints with outward and rotational movement.
- Bicep swivels.
- Elbow bends.
- Wrist rotation.
- Waist swivel.
- Hip joints for forward, backward, and outward leg movement.
- Thigh swivels.
- Knee bends.
- Ankle pivots for stability and posing.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Transformers figure:
- Keep the figure clean by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the figure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause discoloration or material degradation.
- Handle joints and transforming parts with care to prevent breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your figure:
- Stiff Joints: Gently work the joint back and forth to loosen it. Do not force movement.
- Loose Joints: For minor looseness, a small amount of clear nail polish or a similar friction-increasing agent can be applied to the joint and allowed to dry.
- Difficulty Transforming: Refer to the included instructions or online video guides for visual assistance. Ensure all previous steps are correctly completed before proceeding.
