		The inverted carapace of a Glyptodon is visible in the pedestal (red arrow) and sits on the Unit I/II uncomformity.
		Unit II: This unit is a light brown to yellowish-red sand that lies uncomformably over Unit I. It incorporated many scattered and fragmented animal bones most of which were displaced by surface erosion of Unit I. This sandy layer was deposited slowly, perhaps in a shallow pond.
		The inverted carapace and pelvis of a Glyptodon were the only articulated bones found, albeit there were no clear signs of human intervention.

		Once transformed into robot mode, he can take to the air with jet engines that extend from the shell on his back to give him additional means of attack.
		His shoulder plates (joined together, at that point) also extend out of the underside and then split apart to reveal the robot arms.
		Finally, the Glyptodon head folds down to chest level and the robot head pops up, which looks like a metallic version of a Japanese samurai battle helmet, with his cutlass weapon being a part of the helmet itself.

		Here, it seems, early hunters brought down one of the prehistoric world's monstrous megamammals: a long-vanished giant cousin of the armadillo called a glyptodon.
		It's a significant find because until recently, most researchers believed that the glyptodon had died out before man arrived in the New World.
		Hartwell says the bones of the beast have been dated at about 6,500 years old-a number so surprisingly young in archaeological terms that it may just be a mistake.
