When I've purchased Transformers from mainland China, they came w/ 2 instructions, one in English and the other in Chinese. Hasbro AU's imported MPs come w/ 2 instructions as well (English and Japanese). But my Ironhide only came with Japanese instructions, no Chinese one.

So did I happen to get a figure that erroneously didn't come with Chinese instructions, or is this issue more common with other MP Ironhides from HK? If it's the latter, then it seems to be quite an oversight from Hasbro HK.
None of the Takara MP's (or any other Japanese Transformers) I have ever brought in Hong Kong have ever had English or Chinese instructions. Only Japanese.
If you are getting a Japanese MP from HK with Chinese instructions I'd be checking its authenticity. Perhaps Hasbro China (as opposed to Hasbro HK) do something like AU and customise their instructions for their mainland customers?

All I can say is "Google Translate is my friend" regarding how I and others I know here in HK overcome trying to figure out our instructions on our MP's.
