4.4 Eye Lighting Effects with Magnetic Control
The figure's eyes feature 3 modes of lighting effects, activated by magnetic control. To activate, install a CR927 battery (not included) into the head. The side of the battery with characters is the positive pole, and the side with a small dot is the negative pole. Ensure the positive pole faces the metal piece during installation.
Once the battery is installed, touch the head of Optimus Prime with the tail of the Ion Blaster (which contains a built-in magnet) to cycle through the lighting modes: Steady, Flash, and Breathing.

5. Maintenance
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Optimus Prime figure, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint and finish.
- Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Joint Care: If joints become stiff, gently manipulate them. Avoid forcing movement, which could cause breakage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Optimus Prime figure, consider the following:
- Eye Lights Not Working: Ensure the CR927 battery is correctly installed with the positive pole facing the metal piece. Check if the battery needs replacement. Confirm that the magnetic control (tail of the Ion Blaster) is properly touching the head.
- Loose Joints: Some joints may become slightly loose over time with extensive posing. Gentle adjustments or minor modifications may be required, but proceed with caution to avoid damage.
- Difficulty Attaching Accessories: Ensure accessories are aligned correctly with the attachment points. Do not force them, as this can cause breakage.
