Operating Instructions: Transformation

Onyx Prime is a triple changer, capable of transforming between Robot, Centaur, and Beast modes. Follow these steps carefully for each transformation.

Robot Mode Features

In robot mode, Onyx Prime stands approximately 7.5 inches tall. It features articulated head, arms, and legs for dynamic posing. The wings are articulated and can be positioned for various poses. The figure's head has an animal-style helmet with red eyes and a silver face, and the body features biomechanical sculpting with fur, feathers, and metallic elements.

Transformation to Centaur Mode (12 Steps)

  1. Begin with the figure in robot mode.
  2. Open the front and rear waist flaps.
  3. Rotate the robot head upwards to clear space.
  4. Bring the two smaller, folded legs (located on the robot's shoulders) forward.
  5. Rotate the robot's arms forward and out of the way, utilizing the double hinge at the shoulders.
  6. Swing the extra legs down and around the robot's waist, positioning them as the front legs of the centaur.
  7. Bend the figure at the waist, bringing the upper body forward.
  8. For the robot's original legs (now the centaur's rear legs), extend the knee sections fully upwards and then downwards until they lock into place, forming the animalistic hind legs.
  9. Adjust the hooves on all four legs as needed.
  10. Return the shoulder sections to their original position, ensuring they blend with the centaur's upper body.
  11. The tail accessory can be pegged into the top of the centaur's rear section.
  12. To reveal the battle mask, push the silver face inwards on the robot head.

Transformation to Beast Mode (19 Steps from Robot Mode)

To transform from Centaur Mode to Beast Mode:

  1. From Centaur mode, ensure the robot head is rotated upwards.
  2. Bring the dragon head (located on the robot's back) down and forward to form the beast's head.
  3. Take the chest piece and bring it up and over the robot face, covering it completely.
  4. Position the robot's arms forward, opening the hands to form the beast's front claws.
  5. Adjust the four legs to a crawling or flying stance as desired.
  6. Ensure the tail accessory is pegged into the top of the figure's rear section.
  7. Spread the wings for a flying beast appearance.

In Beast Mode, the figure has a dragon-like head with silver fangs and red eyes. The mouth can open and close, and the head can rotate. The spear accessory can be stored on the back by pegging it into the slots on the wings.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Transformers Onyx Prime figure, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint and plastic.
  • Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping.
  • Joint Care: If joints become stiff, gently work them back and forth. If they become loose, refer to online resources or contact customer support for potential solutions, as some joints may be adjustable with screws.
  • Handling: Handle the figure with care during transformations to avoid stressing plastic parts or breaking small components.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

ProblemSolution
Figure does not stand stably in robot mode.Ensure all joints are fully extended and locked into position. Adjust the feet and leg articulation to find a stable center of gravity. The weight of the wings may require careful posing.
Joints feel loose.Many joints on this figure are secured with screws. If comfortable, you may gently tighten these screws. Alternatively, apply a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint-tightening fluid to the joint area and allow it to dry completely.
Transformation steps are difficult.Refer to the included instruction sheet for visual guidance. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before applying force. Do not force parts if they do not move easily.
Accessories do not fit into hands/slots.Ensure the accessories are oriented correctly and the pegs align with the slots. Some hand joints may be stiff; gently open the hand to insert the accessory.
