Transformation of Prime Breakdown

[UltraMarginal]

Hello everybody!

I just opened up and transformed Prime Voyager Breakdown, really like the robot mode and the transformation but I'm struggling with the last step.

I can't get the last couple panels to clip together. it just doesn't seem to "stretch "down quite far enough. I'm wondering if there's something not in the instructins that I might have missed?

My toy's still in transit, so I can't really help you out unless you wanna scan/post that part of the instructions? (if so, please make it hi-res for easier reading )

Don't have a scanner big enough.. I could take a photo but it'll be shiny and hard to read most likely.

Transform it back to robot mode and try it again. Sometimes (especially with those darn panel-formers since the Bay-verse era) it just takes the perfect alignment during the transformation process. If that still doesn't work, then it is possible a part is wrong or wrongly installed, like my Dark United Optimus figure, which was also preventing a proper transformation.

Those panels are really fiddly, though it does look like your rear panel could go down a bit more.
Griff's idea seems best.

Thanks fellas, I'll give it a go tonight.

Maybe find a youtube video review? <shrug>

Got Breakdown today! I took photos as I transformed it, and I did manage to get the panels to clip properly, but it was a bit fiddly. Guh, I'm having issues with photobucket atm, so I'll post pics later.

I've had another fiddle, transformed him most of the way through to robot and back again, it was fiddley, I think it may have all shuffled together a little tighter, still not easy to get it all clipped together but I did it



BTW, that ws my first Peaugh review, very well spoken, I generally avoid video reviews because I dont' want to spoil the transformation for myself. I didn't learrn anything I don't already know watching this one but it was interesting to watch none the less.

Anyway, Breakdown is awesome, so much of the transformation just falls into place so neatly, I hope it comes out here in the future in some manner so everyone can get hold of it.

Okay, photobucket's working for me now... here are the photos I took of the transformation...
