Wow, I would never have figure out the transformation without your walkthrough. He is a FINICKY transformation. I'm not a fan of the way parts simply lay on top of eack other and fold in just so. He is a pain in the butt to get right the first time. I also have paint chipping on the painted part just behind the engine.

@jerman2003 I'm glad I could help! I promise the more you transform him the easier it will get, and the TRU version seems to fit together nicer than V1 Takara version did.. You couldn't get that thing to roll if you tried! I think the american release has too thick of paint on the hood piece since my V2 (and V1 from what I can remember) takara version doesn't have paint chipping there. It feels and looks thinner.

@T2rx6 Yes, the paint is much too thick and is flaking off my figure. I got him right before xmas for 69.99 Canadian. Wouldn't you know it, he went for 41.99 on boxing day (dec. 26). He's sold out everywhere now, glad I got him when I did because I think the TRU exclusive is over. I'm going to pick up some nail polish and try painting some of the pegs so he'll hold better in robot mode. His backpack seems to barely hang on.

@jerman2003 It's a good reason to keep receipts to get price adjustments when things go on sale like that! :)

Good luck with the nail polish, let me know how it works for you. You may need a few coats.. Paint it on, let it dry... Paint it on, let it dry. Good luck!
