Another round of revisions.

-New hinge that makes the seat sit lower to increase the clearance inside the cab for the human partner

-Newly added lower cannons coming from under the front of the truck for the Stealth Force mode (bumper now splits in 2 with both halves rotating up to allow the cannons to flip up)
-Newly added sword (that folds up in 2) that stores under the front of the truck without interfering with the lower cannons and that also converts into a shoulder cannon for the super mode
-Completely revised (and simplified) side panels in truck mode to make the cab smoother and narrower
-Revised lower front cab portion
-Newly added hinged lower panels to finish up the cab look and stabilize the front end
-Revised lower arm panels to finish up the cab look
