Using your Sideswipe action figure is easy! First, if you want to transform it from robot to Chevrolet Corvette Stingray mode, just follow the 19 - step conversion process. It might take a bit of practice at first, but you'll get the hang of it. When posing the figure, be gentle with the joints as they're designed to be flexible but can break if you use too much force. The included blasters and swords can be attached to the figure in both modes. Just find the right spots on the body to secure them. For maintenance, keep the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as this can damage the plastic. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Enjoy playing with your Sideswipe figure and creating your own Transformers adventures!
