8. Maintenance

To keep your Transformers figure in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the figure with care, especially during transformation, to avoid stressing joints or breaking small parts.

9. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Transforming: If parts are stiff, ensure you are following the steps in the correct order. Do not force parts; re-examine the instructions. Sometimes, a slight wiggle or gentle pressure in a different direction can help.
• Loose Joints: Over time, some joints may become slightly loose. This is normal with repeated use.
• Parts Not Aligning: Double-check that all previous steps are completed correctly and that no panels are obstructing the transformation path.
