Using the toy is easy! First, if you want to play with the individual figures, convert the Megatron toy from tank to robot mode in 3 steps and the Dinobot Slug from triceratops to robot mode in 5 steps. You can use the included fusion cannon and blaster accessories for more fun. To combine them into the Slugtron figure, follow the 11 - step process. For different battle scenarios, you can try combining these figures with other Dino Combiners (but remember they are sold separately). When it comes to maintenance, keep the toy away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Also, don't expose it to extreme temperatures. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. This toy is suitable for kids aged 6 and up, so make sure younger kids don't play with it unsupervised to prevent any choking hazards from the small accessories.
