Seems that the side sponsons are detachable and also constitute the power units.

Got to love the press, lol. References to the Transformers and promises of a shape shifting robot, when the reality is a tracked platform that can have different things bolted onto it. Reminds me of the company that sells what appear to be £10 Ebay helicopters to the MOD, fiited with spy cams (£5) that troops can carry in their pockets and use to see over walls etc. They charge an absolute fortune for this 'technology'.
I went for an interview at the MOD once, they needed someone to reduce costs (well, what a surprise). The guys interviewing me told me straight out that if I thought I had any ideas about introducing new ways of doing things that would save them money then I was clean out of luck. lolol.
On the way out there was a 'fresh out of Uni' graduate looking really nervous. He asked me how the interview went. I told him that the questions weren't too bad but I thought the unarmed combat was a bit tough as there was two of them, and only one of me. He went as white as a sheet, and the receptionist almost choked on her coffee!

It does leave you wondering, if they are in the market for something like this why aren't they talking to "Armourtek" or half a dozen other builders in the field(!) instead of spending billions of the taxpayers hard earned on reinventing the wheel (Track) ?
