Using this Optimus Prime action figure is super easy. To convert it from robot to truck mode, just flip the bot into the air. When it lands well, the conversion to truck mode is complete. To get it back to robot mode, it's just one manual step. You can do this over and over again for fun. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects that could scratch it. Don't expose it to extreme heat or cold, as this might damage the toy. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Remember, this is a toy for kids, so make sure to supervise younger ones during play to avoid any small parts being swallowed.
