Gorilla mode.

Not much has changed, although the red visor has a clear red coat and the cr@pple-damage is no more.

(Btw, I NEVER want to transform this awful, awful toy again. Whoever designed it needs to be demoted. It is like pulling teeth trying to get the white panels to align and getting the cockpit to peg into the two holes for jet mode required brute force. Snapdragon, by comparison, is a JOY to transform back and forth between the three modes.
