All Transformers [[toy]]s that can be <strike>[[trademark|transformed]]</strike> [[transformation|converted]] between [[alternate mode|different modes]] come '''instructions'''. Usually, those are included in the form of a small booklet or a sheet of paper; however, some smaller toys have them printed on the back of their packaging instead (usually only for toys that come packaged on blister cards).
 
Instructions always give visual directions for how to convert the toy between its different modes and, if applicable, how to use its [[gimmick]]s and action features, either in the form or photos of the toy itself (or a [[prototype]]) or simplified line artwork. Additional text explanations were common in the [[The Transformers (toyline)|early days]] of the [[Transformers brand|brand]], but have since been dropped at least as far as [[Hasbro]]'s market is concerned.
 
If the toy includes loose accessories, the instructions will also depict the entire content of the package.
