Is it still transformable after that mod?

I believe it is still transformable with an extra couple of steps, which consist mainly of rotating the legs, I think.
I've been contemplating on getting HA BB because it looks like a great figure even without a great paint job like yours.

I bought a HA Bee yesterday and I painted all the metal parts, but now I feel like I have to do the WHOLE toy so it can be good as good as yours. Although I think I want to get some yellow enamel paint and redo the car and make it look new and shiny. I hate that plastic look.
Anyways I REALLY REALLY recommend the mod. I almost didn't buy this figure because of the way the legs looked. If you look at some of the detail from movie Bumblebee, it fits better switched.
Also the upper leg guards are more accurate in the flipped version as well. The tire hub is supposed to face towards the outside, and not the inside like it comes in toy. My pic didn't come through showing that so no pic sorry.
It looks like the prototype was originally switched which is why I think it looks better.
The toy transforms just fine with the switch.
Sorry to argue against you, but what you did looks so awesome, and I think the legs look so stupid that way.
