Ohhhh. OK, sorry, yeah. I was figuring, given your reference to the transforming Lockheed as the 'Aurora' earlier in the thread, that the names Lightning and Wildcat would be attached to the historical pure-aerodyne planes, and that the variable mech models would have their own, distinct names. 'Bobcat' fit Grumman's fighter theme of the period, but wasn't actually used as such, so I figured that that would be attached to the Variable Fighter, supplier F (Grumman). But I am dumb and forgot to explain this clearly.
Or I suppose it could be the other way around, and the Bobcat is the F4F while the VFF is the Wildcat.
But yeah, looking at it again, the UFw-190's transformation seems to stop halfway through the motion I'm picturing, before the engine goes all the way back and the head locks into place above the cockpit so the extra tail kibble can fold around to protect the pilot.
...Camera/Sensor failure while the VFF is in Battloid mode would be bad, incidentally.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
