During my Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshops 2009 in mid-July, it was unveiled to the group of GCE O Levels Secondary 4 students and they were surprised to see me bringing a toy to a proper academic Chemistry Workshop.
After telling them how this Optimus Prime Transformer toy is linked and associated to chemistry, typically Organic Chemistry, they were excited for me (as well as themselves). However, i has problem in transforming the ROBOT mode to the TRUCK mode.
Even after the workshop, i did not manage to transform it properly after i read (and try to follow) the instruction manual. Hours and Hours passed and after 4 hrs, my TRUCK mode is still not in place.
During one of the recent Chemistry regular tuition class, one of my students told me to check out YOUTUBE to find videos on the toy transformation. I was initially skeptical about it, but when i reached home and check it out, i was shocked to find out so many videos that teach us the step-by-step! It is certainly 100% more useful than the instruction manual provided with the toy.
Check out these transition states of my Optimus Prime as it transform from ROBOT to TRUCK mode:
Saw my computer LCD screen? Yes, i was following instructions from youtube videos.
If you have problem in transforming your Optimus Prime (Leader Class), check out the youtube video below. That is what i did! Social Media websites are a source of enrichment and self-developments.

Thanks for the video.
My 7 year old grandson got this for Christmas, and some how the instructions got trashed so you instructions were very helpful, for this almost 60 grandpa.
I was doing ok till I got to the windshield and your video help me there. Took me a while to get the head in the right position but once I did I was home free.
Hi Ed,
Thanks for your comment. I am glad that this blogpost (and such the Video) helped you to keep the smiles on your grandson face from Christmas to New Year.
The toy is great, the mechanism is amazing. The instructions manual made the whole toyset a bad gift and hobby. Just hope their next generation toy is better with instructions.
All the best Ed! Enjoy!
Sean =)
