I kinda Like the transition. after i read the backstory, I imagined the
original animal as a kind of giant centipede. part of that "cyber"
technology attaching the thing to that big stomping frame. the jaw would be
that of the original creature but it's skull (if it has one) has been fused
to the cybernetics, which is one of the reasons it's so violent, it doesn't
like it's new condition. that would also explain the sudden transition, it's
just kind of bolted there.

...or not, but that's what I imagined.

I was thinking of going with spring loaded talons, but I wanted something
more *stompish*.  Talons would have made the BMW seem too fast.

It looks a bit
like the spine got and front legs got ripped out of a larger animal.

The one part I don't like is where the "torso" meets the body. Maybe a mid
sized segment would have been better right there to sort of blend it
better...<shrugs> maybe on the next one...

Thanks for the compliments Bram.
