That transformation scheme of the VF-11 and VF-25 has an advantage over the VF-1's. The line drawings for the VF-1 show its legs pivoting on hinges to attach the fighter nose/battroid hip joints, and then those hinges have to detach from the legs. The VF-1 design actually has more in common with the dettach/reattach issue than the newer designs. The animators made the VF-1's transformation look more elegant by not drawing in the line drawings' leg hinges in most scenes.
