He has to ride in a prone position, and the wrists pop off pretty easily, which gets a little annoying.

Weapons and accessory parts

The knife and submachine gun can be stored on the side of the thighs using joint parts.

The figure is too small for the bike, so they don't really look like a great match together.

You can also remove the head and attach the handlebar.

It kind of works, but..

There's no room for the legs, so she has to ride kneeling like that.

Structurally, only the head design is different.

This kit is the Definition Armor VT1, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. It's a mech that transforms into a bike-form vehicle mode, and it comes bundled with Governor Warmage Will. Governor Warmage Will is essentially the same as the existing Governor Warmage Hatcher,with only the molded color and head sculpt changed.

The main body is put together with a relatively small number of parts for a Kotobukiya kit, keeping things nice and clean. Articulation is a bit of a mixed bag due to the transformation gimmick, but the joints are smooth yet solid. The transformation itself is simpler than you'd expect, and the end result looks surprisingly great for how straightforward the process is. Out of all the robot mechs that transform into bikes I've seen so far, this one pulls off the bike shape most efficiently and easily.

The included Governor Warmage Will can be seated in vehicle mode, but since the figure is too small for the bike, they don't really look like a great match. Rather than looking like someone riding a bike in style, it looks more like a small child flopped face-down on a huge bike. Honestly, it looks better to attach the large handlebar and seat a 1/12 scale girl figure instead. In that case though, there's not enough room for the legs, so she has to ride in a kneeling position.

So between the solid joints and the simple yet effective bike transformation gimmick, this is a pretty cool kit. The one thing that's a bit of a shame is that the included Governor doesn't quite match the scale of the bike, and ¥6,800 feels a little steep for a box and contents about the size of a small MG. That said, if you're a fan of transforming kits, this one's definitely worth recommending. :-)
