- Fold and collapse panels to form the fuselage and wings of the jet.
- Ensure all tabs and slots are securely connected to form a cohesive jet mode.

6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Starscream action figure, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Handling: Always handle the figure by its main body parts. Avoid excessive force on joints or thin plastic components.
- Joint Care: If joints become loose over time, a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint tightener can be applied to the joint peg and allowed to dry, but this should be done with caution.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Starscream figure, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Parts do not tab securely in place. | Ensure all previous transformation steps are correctly executed. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in one area can affect alignment in another. Do not force. |
| Joints feel too tight or stiff. | Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Some joints may be stiff initially. Avoid twisting or bending in unintended directions. If very stiff, carefully warm the joint slightly with warm water (not hot) or a hairdryer on low setting, then attempt to move. |
| Figure does not fully convert to jet mode. | Review the instruction sheet carefully, paying close attention to the order of steps and the orientation of parts. Ensure all panels are folded and aligned as shown. |
| Accessories do not attach properly. | Verify that you are using the correct accessory for the intended port. Ensure the port is clear of debris. |
