I bought a transformer and I can't get it to transform

[OS]

so I bought a transformer and I was sitting here for like 20 mins trying to turn it into a robot. I just gave up, man this is a pain in the ass.

Just find a 5 year old. I swear they make adults like us look stupid and transform it in like, 5 seconds.

 

What is this, 1989? I thought we all grew out of those things. How old are you, really?

Agreed.

Which one (pics?) I might remember how to do it if it's an older one. If the new ones changed then I guess I'd just start tugging on things...

See, you have to connect a source to the terminals on one side first and connect your voltmeter to the other side. It should transform just fine.

I thought this thread was about power issues.

i just got that today and paid $20

it took some doing but i finally got it

read the manual *it sucks* but you get to know what parts to play with to make it look right

Now, I may be a nerd (he says, as his desk is currently covered by boxes of cards from four different card games, and a stack of comics) but I think todays transformers are SO much easier than the old ones. Especially since they are lower quality, and the joints will often times pop off without dangerous repurcussions, so you can make mistakes. Just read the manual, and if that doesnt help, just start tugging at things, like a previous post suggested

What Im saying is, everyone should own a transformer.

Well said

Let me guess, it's an Alternator? If so, that sounds about right; they're really good cars, but the most difficult to transform by far.

I had over 100 transformers, and I found out about 5 years ago my mother sold em at a yard sale for a buck each. They were in excellent shape with all the accessories !!!!!
