Wanted: Transformer Instructions
After unearthing the Transformer collection, I've been able to figure out how to transform most of the Transformers. My big stumbling block? The Constructicons.
I think we've figured out how to transform them from man/robot to construction vehicle mode, but I haven't the foggiest idea on how to put the six of them together to form Devastator. These were Mike's toys that I never cared to play with when they were new. I've told Nigel and assumed that I could find someplace on the web that would have instructions or some hints on how to do that. Ever since telling Nigel that, a day hasn't gone by that he hasn't asked when I was going to get the instructions and begged that I do it ASAP. After he did it again this afternoon, I had to stop what I was working on to find what I could.
I haven't had luck with my Google-Fu on this search. I now know that they are referred to as "Constructicans" in France, only one of the purple and green toys actually uses purple plastic (the others use green plastic which is painted purple, where needed), and that there are three seeming contradictions to their origin in the animated series.
((Cory then goes to YouTube to listen to music, but gets an idea))
However, I have had luck when I gave up on Google and went to YouTube:
YAY!!! I've used the video to create Devastator. Before leaving for Scouts, I put Devastator on the laundry table for the boys to LOOK at and added the above video to their Favorites on YouTube. JD just told me that Nigel watched the video about 5 times before going to bed tonight.
