    I just got animated Rodimus and have a slight issue when transforming him. His chest will not fold down far enough to peg in. Is there some trick to it?

    Not sure what you're doing exactly, but his chest doesn't peg down at all. It secures by clipping the windshield to the back of his neck/collar area.

    Otherwise, have you folded the wheels in?

    Got it now, thanks. The video reviews made it look like the small tab under the front of the car pegged into the waist. Now I'm just worried about the stress on the clear plastic.

    It took me about 3 minutes of staring at him to realize I needed to fold the wheels in.

    It took me forever to realize that I needed to peg the windshield in to his back and not the peg on his chest, just like you. Got it down now though.

    It's certainly different from the norm, which is probably the cause of the problem.
