...okay then. Since I am apparently unable to edit comments on my phone, and my new laptop is a pile of plastic shards and bits of circuitry due to an incident with a Nerf Sword and a Taser, I'll just change the combat form via this comment. How about a large Pterodactyl-like form, still able to carry passengers and cargo inside of hollow compartments in the main body, with the Collapser situated on the back. I believe that leaves my basic idea for the alternate form intact while meeting your specifications.
