STEP 1: Waist

Be sure to remove support bits from the upper and lower waist parts as shown.

Slide upper part onto lower part from the side. Click it into place until it is centered.

STEP 2: Legs

When starting with the upper leg, ensure you are using the correct part pictured. It needs to be rounded at the top and have the two small divots at the bottom.

The other part of the upper leg has the two notches on the T part, and the ball end is angled.
Be sure to remove the support bits from the upper leg parts as shown

When clipping the upper leg parts together, ensure that the two divots are on the same side as the two notches

Clip on the upper leg to the waist. Note the ball joint at the bottom is meant to angle towards the rear.

Assemble and clip on the other upper leg. Again, ensure both ball joints at bottom are angled the same direction toward the rear.

Be sure to remove the support bits from the lower leg ball joint as shown. Note this part has a straight ball joint, where the previous ones were angled. Also this part has grooves on the T, whereas the previous ones had notches on the side of the T.

Clip the two lower leg parts together. The other part of the lower leg has grooves on the bottom instead of divots. When clipping these two together the orientation does not matter.

Clip on the lower leg to the upper leg's ball joint. Ensure that the leg is able to bend inward, the same direction as the upper leg's ball joint.

Assemble and clip on the other lower leg.

STEP 3: Feet

Be sure to remove the support bits from the feet part as shown.

Clip the two feet parts together shown. Ensure the bottom part is oriented to where recessed part of the hole is at the top, and the protruded I is at the bottom.

Clip the foot onto the lower leg ball joint. The direction it is facing does not matter.

Assemble and clip on the other foot.

Before proceeding to the next step, ensure that what you have built resembles these images.

STEP 4: Torso

Be sure to remove the support bits from the torso ball joint as shown.

Clip on the torso ball joint to its torso part as shown. Which side it clips on does not matter.

Clip on the other ball joint to the other side of the torso part.

Clip on the final torso part to the assembled torso as shown. Note the engraven M logo is considered the front of the mech's frame.

Clip on the assembled torso to the waist.

STEP 5: Arms

Be sure to remove the support bits from the upper arm as shown. Note this is the part with the straight edge as was shown in the beginning of step 2.

Clip together the two upper arm parts. Note the notches on the lower part, and the divots on the upper part, and they need to be both on the same side when connecting.

Clip on the assembled upper arm to the torso ball joint.

Note with the arm, the ball joint is angled forward (as opposed to the leg where the ball joint is angled rearward).

Assemble and clip on the other arm.

The lower arm part can now be clipped onto the upper arm ball joint. Ensure the lower arm is oriented as shown with the blue lines.

In the same way, clip on the other lower arm.

Your small frame should now be assembled. Please refer to the pictures to make sure yours is assembled properly, noting angles and directions the joints, knees, and elbows face.
