The bot mode is quite good too. The only thing about it that i'm not a fan of (and something many people have already complained about) is that those backpack pods don't peg in anywhere, they just sit there hanging from the linkages that they're attached to, and which are on the loose side. They won't go anywhere by themselves but are easily displaced when handling the figure.
Transformation is the worst part. It's not difficult (did the reverse to bot without the manual) but there are a lot of steps and the figure is very loose and vulnerable when you're transforming it. Some of the transformation steps depend on flex in the material, most notably the linkages that go into the back pods need to be forced (or i'm doing something wrond).
Also, during transformation the upper and lower parts of the figure are attached to each other through a small plastic piece (the black one in the detail photo). Thera are a bunch of joints so there's flex but i would advise to keep both sections supported and to not force this part.
Those issues aside, she's an excellent figure and i'm very happy with her.
