I got a package of drones today, and they don't have any assembly instructions.

There is a large square tab on what I assume is the bottom piece. Is this supposed to be removed?

And are there assembly instructions anywhere?

I know of no assembly instructions for drones.

Check out the following TMP posting that has closeups of assembled drones:

Hope this helps,

Thanks. Unfortunately, all the photos are pretty dark on the underside, and I can't tell whether the tab stays, or needs to be filed down.

Don't remember a tab.

Try looking here on their website:

I guess it is flash. One of the three doesn't have it, so it gets removed.

Constructive criticism from a guy who has dropped $400 USD on this game – an assembly schematic, or even a close-up photo on the box would be nice.

Ditto on the command tank blister.

O.k. – confused again. When you flip the top "turret/head" over, there is a cutout/indentation that lines up with the three grooves on the bottom half of the head. That is where the three legs are supposed to be.

But there is only one cutout, not three.

So are there supposed to be two more cut outs/indentations, which line up with the grooves on the bottom, or is the single cutout/indentation on the bottom of the "head" supposed to be for something else?

I took it to be an "alignment" mark so you have the two holes (for the gun and reaper limb) facing the front of the drone.
