Flaw in ne Cobra Whirlwind gun directions :(

Put together my new Cobra Whirlwind gun this AM, only to discover a slight flaw in the assembly instructions.

When you go from step one to step two, you need to put the console of the gun into the front shield assembly BEFORE you mount it onto the top part of the swiveling base assembly, AND also install the seat too. :( The instructions do NOT show this.






This isn't too hard to figure out, but can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar w/ this particular toy from the ARAH era. Also, the wheels and knuckles already come mounted on the lower base as show in picture # 1, don't know why they listed it as a step instead of the above mentioned procedures ?


HTH

As an original ARAH guy, I need no instructions...lol
I can build a Flagg from memory and everything else from 82-89.

geez, i can't remember how to transform transformers i got six months ago.

I dont remember the front shield falling off so easy on my ARAH one. This one pops off at the least little thing.

I just put mine together and I didn't notice until now, but i can see how it could be a bit confusing. What bugs me is that Mr. Range Viper doesn't really fit that well in the seat.

I noticed that too. Once my kids got a hold of it, well, the whole thing fell apart.

Same deal on the flight pod. If you put it together and then try to put the bubble on last (like in the instructions) it would be difficult. Bubble needs to go on before the chair is pushed into place.

Neither did the Sarge when I put him in it :(

Probably b/c 25th figs are taller than ARAH ones (??). Plus the Sarge's (Benchpress's really belt pouches wouldn't let him sit all the way properly.

Is there a reason why everybody refuses to call this thing the "Cobra Jungle Terror gun"?

I mean nobody calls the Stinger a Vamp right?
