You are still the Pilot of the Battle Jacket or its Travel Mode after it transforms between one and the other.

-[Triggered, 1/Encounter]: When you change into a Battle Jacket from its Travel Mode, you may use the Power Up Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver.

Ultimate Survival Mode: Built on a rotary engine, this Battle Jacket can spin its body for offense and defense purposes.
-[Ruling]: During your turn, you can spend 2 Actions and 5(JT) Ki Points to begin ‘Spinning’ until the start of your next turn.
-[Triggered]: While you are ‘Spinning’, if an Opponent enters your Melee Range for any reason, you may use the Basic Attack Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver. If you do, you can only select the Launching Profile for that Attacking Maneuver and you can use the Launching Profile any number of times through this effect. Each time you use the Basic Attack Maneuver through this effect, it counts as if it was used twice for the effects of Diminishing Offense.
