I just got this amazing toy and I have a question:

How the heck am I suppose to clip the trailer to the back portion of the truck?

I mean, according to all the pictures, the trailer stays pretty close (at a correct distance) to the cab, but when I look at the spot where the trailer is supposed to be clipped to, I either have to apply tremendous force (thus with risking of breaking it) or I just clip to the very end of the truck, which is a lot easier, but then, it looks plain wrong.

It feels as if I needed to slide the peg of the trailer, as if there was some sort of track (anyone who has it know what I'm talking about) on the legs of the robot, but I can slide only so far. To a certain point on (where it was SUPPOSED to be), the "tracks" gets thicker and the trailer clip won't slide further.

I think it is supposed to be clipped, not slided, but I'm too afraid of forcing it more coz the thing is fragile and just too tiny. I mean, I used excessive force on some Transformers before like movie Ironhide waist-to-legs peg-hole connection, which is an ass and I had REALLY forced it to connect, but is this the case?

Please, help out.

Cheers,

okay...are the legs tightly together and do you have the intercooler/jetpack attached?those two things make a huge diference.

Well, yes to the first and no to the second.

When attaching the legs, the pegs fit in the holes, but the holes seem to be a bit bigger than the pegs, so the legs dettach from each other easily. But that doesn't make a difference as to how hard it is to attach the trailer to the truck.

It just seem that my toy has got some problem. I almost feel inclinated to sandpaper the trailer's peg so it gets wider and clips correctly.

Any thoughts?

Could you take some pictures to illustrate your problem? Admittedly, I'm dosed up with flu medication, but I'm looking at my THS-02 and I can't figure out what your problem is. For exacmple, there isn't a peg on the trailer that clips into Prime's legs.

Ok. I think I was just too tired yesterday, but I took it out of the box now and I think I discovered what my mistake is.

I was simply trying to attach the trailer to the wrong place.

In this poorly taken picture you can see what I mean.

I'm sorry for misconcepting "peg" for that thing that is on the trailer. What would you call it in english?

Anyway, in the picture, there is the trailer "peg" circled in yellow, the red circle is where the trailer is SUPPOSED to go (which only now I saw, so I solved the problem) and circled in white is the place where I THOUGHT the trailer was supposed to be attached to.

Of course, the trailer would never fit that part. That's why I said it gets thicker and the trailer wouldn't "slide" in.

Anyway, sorry for the hassle. You got flu medication and I got plain right stupidity on me. Hehe!

I'm not sure what I'd call it. MAybe it is just me, but I tend to think of a peg as being a piece that fits into a hole, like the handle on a TF's gun, for example.

But anyway, you got it sorted. I'm glad I didn't have to transfomr mine to take pictures, 'cos I'd have had to take his Batman cape off.
