this is the answer! because they couldn't get the instructions right in the first place! this is too all those who keep saying "why can't hasbro ever transform there own transformers correctly, and follow instructions" well i think this explains why.
i've been saying it for years too, hasbro couldn't even get the instructions right! little alone follow them! either that, they did follow them, but the instructions they got, were wrong to begin with.
At the risk of ridicule, and perhaps I'm just dense, but what's wrong with the pic? I cross-checked it with tfu.info and looked at the entire instruction manual on your site on the off chance I missed the joke thart was hidden elsewhere. I also own this figure and I don't get what's so funny.....let the chastising begin! I'm sure I'm just overlooking something obvious, it's been a long day.
Ah-ha! Now I see it! I just kept sitting here staring at it, going "huh?" and then I saw it. Like I said, long day....At first glance, the arms looked fine to me, I guess I thought it was something huge like backwards legs or something. Thanks for the assist!
i believe there are more like this too. so this is not alone, oh and yes, the decepticon verison is the same.
Dude, you don't know how funny that $hit is!! Er, maybe you do. Point is, how can the guy/girl responsible for making sure we can properly transform TFs get it wrong on the front of the darn instructions? Unless, of course, it was just some lackey artist that was given the stellar task of doing the artwork for the booklet that didn't know/give a crap. Don't know. So much for QA/QC.
