The legs are inside a shell at the base and the 'body' of the bug mode (thorax and head) are basically the 'body' and 'neck' folded down and twisted a bit. For me the Praying mantis illusion is ruined by the tiny claws.
I respectfully disagree on the merits of this 'bug' mode.

Keep in mind that this is a toy built to resemble something Bay's team had created. It isn't just a case of 'turn a microscope into a bug creature, and be free to make it look weird if you want'. Think FAB Frenzy - it wasn't the best looking toy and was very fiddley, but that's what we ended up with for Hasbro to create a toy replicating that movie character and its alt-mode.
Scalpel's bug mode does a good job resembling the movie character (from pics seen so far), and we just have to wait to see what the alt mode actually looks like in the movie as well.

And I would much prefer a simplified toy that can still transform to all modes seen in the movie, like FAB Frenzy, over a more movie-accurate toy that can't, like Constructicon Devastator.
So to me Dr.Scalpel >>> C.Devastator. (-_-)

If in IMO the toy is lacking; only the movie itself could persuade me to buy but for that the story and characters need to be good.

Maybe this character is not so bad afterall
http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/...a-labeouf.html..Michael Bay, your director, says it was a large prop of some kind that caught you, which he didn't want to identify or describe because it's a plot spoiler. He also says he dropped to his knees as soon as he heard someone on the set say, "There's blood."
They stitched me up in a military hospital. The doctor looks at me and he holds his thumb and forefinger about an inch apart from one another. I said, "What is that?" He said, "Blindness." This is the most insane s--- I've ever been a part of.
joking aside, Shiah despite his off set hijinks has demonstrated a lot of professionalism in dealing with his carreer and injuries.
Note: I think there is a bit of exaggeration here as Shia permanently loosing sight while filming would have set the media world on fire.
