Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

If it's a Masterpiece, Third-party, or otherwise expensive and/or fragile looking toy, then abso-freakin-lutely I'm using the instructions. With MP especially, having that first walkthrough of sorts actually increases my enjoyment and appreciation of the engineering that much more.

The transformations are often so tight or have some small degree of movement required that without instructions you run the risk of breaking something small or missing a finer point of the conversion.

It usually tells me all I need to know to figure out how to transform it back into vehicle mode.

Really? That's a hell of a coincidence because that's the one figure (along with Rodimus Minor from Animated) that I absolutely adored figuring out as I transformed it without the instructions. Those two figures have so much going on for their class categorie, it was a real joy to discover them through unaided transforming.

I literally have him right here. He's been sitting in this exact spot since I first got him over 2 years ago. I hadn't touched him since. Until now. I still can't figure him out.

Always thought that would be cool. Please don't say their here on Seibertron. I would feel like a real Billy Bologna.
It would be a neat feature for this already great site, but a serious undertaking.
