What I want to know is - can it transform?

(Because it really looks like it oughta be able to.)

Hitachi Rail

Hitachi's A-Train features a lightweight, recyclable aluminum body, which is approximately 30% lighter than conventional stainless steel bodies, thereby allowing a reduction in running costs. The aluminum double skin body simplifies the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for a framework construction. In addition, the use of frictional heating eliminates the need for filler materials and the use of FSW (Friction Stir Welding), a mechanical welding process allows for a strong, sleek train body with little distortion.

In addition, such parts as the ceiling, side panels, electrical wiring, and piping, which in conventional construction methods are attached to the train body toward the end of the manufacturing process have been modularized, allowing a simpler construction process, greater flexibility and easier maintenance. In addition, this process requires fewer welding points and parts.

I wonder if any of those specifications have been reviewed following the accident at Amagasaki.

"Piping" my ass! Arrrrg. I've told these translator tards it was "hydraulics"* not "piping". But oh nooo, the demented weasels changed it back to 'piping' like it was some technology from the film "Brazil."

*In a different situation, this could be "plumbing" rather than 'piping' or 'hydraulics.'

Don't forget Taro - Japanese know more about English than you do because they studied English grammar at High school and University, whereas you didn't. So while they might ask you for your opinion on the meaning of a word - they know better. Mush mush bettah.
