So the Extender... doesn't actually, extend?

Bandai's getting lazy for not molding the CBR1000RR engine

come on bandai, you're molding engines in riderbikes before.

That looks pretty cool.

Nah. It would be interesting if they tried. But it's a bit different from things like Dragredder where the transformation can be properly integrated into the structure of the toy. The DX Extender could do it, but in doing so it compromised both forms quite a bit. With the Figuart they've aimed for the perfect version of the primary bike form.

SS Kabuto being re-released is confirmed by the way, the figure has a new release date (April 2016) set in the product page and it is listed with the items which go up for pre-order on December 1st :)
