I have a Botcon 2004 Megazarak and have had it for years and am planning to sell it on eBay this week. But when I went into my closet to get its box I found it had no instructions in it. I had Armada Megatron before I got this so I doubt I even looked for instruction when I got it. The box didn't come sealed originally so they may have fallen out when I moved or something. Did it even come with directions in the first place or will I have to sell it as incomplete?

I used to own one a few years back, it too came unsealed and going on *memory only* had no instructions, not even an Armada-Megs set thrown in for good measure.

I assume it's to do with the fact that the electronics were removed; hope that helps.

That mold doesn't have electronics in it. Looking this guy up on Shmax, there's no mention on instructions or paperwork of any kind. You can see for yourself here: http://shmax.com/product_details/938/me ... h_caliburn Those guys are really good for finding what exactly came with a figure.

yeah, it did. He made "pew pew" sounds, and there was a light as well, activated when you pressed his mini-con into a hole in the turret, or activated the missile launching gimmick, IIRC.

Yeah, I stand corrected. I had to actually go look. I got the only version I have a few months ago so I'm not very familiar with it.

It's standard practice to remove all electronics from a mold for BotCon use. So while Megatron and Galvatron had theirs, Megazarak didn't.

Mine had no electronics either.

No instructions that I know of. I'll dig mine out in a bit and see.

Thanks guys!

Oh and Flux Convoy, now I'm going to lose at least 2 days uploading my collection on Shmax!

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Or rather, what one of those guys I've quoted was saying...

to clear it all up:

The question was raised as to whether the Botcon Megazarak originally came with instructions. It was suggested that possibly the reason they didn't just include the instructions for the original toy, upon which the exclusive was based, was because said original toy Armada Megatron, had come with electronics. Obviously, as the Botcon one doesn't, people would bitch and moan if they were mentioned on the instructions. I was clarifying that the Armada versions of this Transformers toy did indeed have electronics.

Can we confusedly discuss something else now?
