Easy steps to transforming.

1.Here's your transformer in tank mode
2. Twist the Y connectors 90 degrees to allow the rod to pop out (just like the top Y connector in the picture) this is easier than ragging the rod out
3. Now your transformer should like like this, to transform back connect the rod and the Y connector, just like the bottom Y connector on picture 2.
4.Here's a picture of it in robot form.
5. Here's another one of my transformers available to build
6. The same one in robot form
