I have a confession to make...

[BadJeff]

Generally i feel I'm a very "mechanical" kind of person. Always poking around stuff to see how it works. The one bot that really gave me a hard time though was MP Megatron. Only transformed him the one time but boy did it take me a while.

<----sucks @ transforming

I had my alternators Tracks transformed halfway for about 4 months until Clutchburn let me have a glance at his...

[Protoman]

I feel like I am cheating if I have to use the instructions.

[Cheers Ian]

I personally think most of the new transformers instructions suck. They really aren't that clear.

I usually cheat and check out a review on Youtube for the more complicated Transformers (Leader Prime, Skids etc)

Even some of the simpler figures, I usually miss a pegging in at least a tab or two.

I'll admit I'm not great at figuring out transformations. Other than G1 and Beast Wars I kinda suck at Transforming them.

Cheers!

Yeah...but I still can't remember how to do the legs for MM. I gave up and left him.

Actually Demolisher is pretty hard too, I keep forgetting how to get the piece back.

For once I feel like I need to PRACTICE playing with these toys.

[slippy]

that's ok, we need people to buy the basic level toys as well as the advance level ones

I have started to rely less on the insructions lately. I didn't use them for skids and it was pretty cool to figure out what they were thinking...

It is nice to have tools like Youtube to see if we are doing it right...lol.

They should include a DVD/cdrom with purchase showing the transformation of the figure...

Na... just take it back to Walmart/TRU/Zellers and ask the employees to do it for you

I'm the same way, after I've done it once with instructions I usually don't need to refer to them again.

I still can't transformer ROTF Ravage into a cassette.
