have any of you ever noticed that hasbro's instructions are really hard to follow? you get it a couple times later, but they can be MUCH clearer. I must've spent half fn hour on one part of rescue ratchet

yeah a lot of the time i just have to figure it out on my own.

cheapness on Hasbro's part. i dunno when did instructions WITHOUT TEXT started, but i remember that the Beast Wars toyline, even without a separate instruction sheet (for basics & deluxes IMO), always managed to have CLEAR instructions WITH TEXT.

I guess they just take the ones intended for Europe and give them to the US, less work. Imagine a European instruction sheet with text, it would have all instruction steps in about 12 languages.

At least you have the full backstories on your packages, we get about one or two sentences.

I don't know about the instructions, I never use them, the only instructions I use are MP Megatrons and that is over now!

Not all the instructions suck. Sometimes I couldn't figure out how to work something but the instructions helped. On the other hand, sometimes they are difficult to follow.

I think that most of the instructions are vauge at best. Some are really bad. I could use some text on the instructions. Or at least more pictures. It's hard to follow what the several arrows are trying to show you at the same time!
