Holy Hieroglyphics, Batman!

Postby Andrius » Tue Dec 28, 2010 11:27 pm

Protector's Instruction Booklet is driving me nuts! I'm trying to decipher the intricate steps necessary to carefully transform this well-engineered and costly product and all I have to work with are tiny, obscure silhouettes covered in exclamation points! It's like getting driving directions from a mute.

Now, I'm sure I could probably figure out how to put the armor on without any instructions, but I wanted to do it carefully and "by the book" in order to not damage anything on my first try. I'm sure I could reverse engineer the proper transformation from a photo of the finished product, except the only one in the booklet is the size of a postage stamp! You can tell that this thing was designed by the same culture that developed the finger-trap ;)

Don't get me wrong: I'm a huge fan of FansProject and I love this product so far. I just wish the instruction booklet had less comic and more instruction. I feel like I'm trying to decipher Linear B or something.

Anyway, I'm off to find one of the ten thousand photos of this thing online so that I can finish what I started.

You could always watch peaugh's video review. It shows the assembly clearly.

Of course. There are more than enough resources online to figure it out and I successfully transformed him thanks to Seibertron.com's own extensive photo gallery. I was just a bit amazed that given the general attention to detail Fansproject is known for, as well as the sheer size of this booklet, I still needed to consult the internet in order to actually see adequate photos of the finished product.

As a side note, does anyone know what the story is with the image on the last page of that booklet? I assume it's a preview figure or something. Thoughts?

It is my belief that it is their original glacialbot combiner they teased a couple of years back. It could be something else also but that's what I believe it is especially with the 20,000 BC tag.

Ah, good call. Thanks! It does appear to be holding a dustbuster, though. Probably to vacuum up all that mammoth hair it leaves around...

Yeah, the pictures were too small here. A definite black mark.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
