Gotcha. The transformations are created as one-off animations and played to camera. Meaning, there are times when parts outside of the camera view are simply turned off or hidden. While we attempt to conserve volume between the vehicle and the robot states of the transformation sometimes it's just not possible and hidden parts are turned on, or off, to make up the difference.
Hope that answers your question.
Thanks!
