Who was your first???

So far I haven't needed to use instructions for any Transformers toys. I've always managed to transform them, but I do look at the instructions afterwards to make sure I haven't missed any details - which happens sometimes, such as applying the ridiculous amount of force needed to extend Alternators Prime's legs a few millimeters...

Part of the appeal of transforming toys to me is figuring out how it transforms only using pictures on the box. Only on two occasions have I had to 'cheat' because I thought I was applying too much force and the toy would break if I was wrong.

Same here. I cheat when I become a bit concerned about the feebleness of the toy. I find I only do that for my eBay purchases and never anything from retail. The reason being is b/c if I do stuff something at retail, there's always the refund. With eBay though, it's much tougher to get a replacement.

I'm also a huge frequenter of Seibertron.com's image galleries to get all the angles on my TFs if I come into trouble.
