In looking for Tech / ID reference, some planes have the same elements and shapes. But the Harrier has some interesting gadgets and details. So inspired in it i tried to have the challenge of making a transformable robot. Trying to focus in a very "toy" mindset, in which i must retain the same amount of mass in both designs, it's fun and it raises a lot of questions on how to hide or store body parts on the airship mode.

    My worry when i look at this, in the idea of "I may be piloting this so how do I feel about it", is that the cockpit/head looks to be too sweet a target. In Mech mode it's pronounced, and looks to be lightly armored, both the head itself and the neck joint. Another thing that comes to mind is how does it handle switching from pilot facing nose to pilot facing rear for transformation. It looks nimble, light, and liike it's not meant to actually touch the ground but rather flit along using the thrusters and verniers as GES. Exceptional work, and I hope you keep it up.
