The first thing that really grabbed my attention was the window. That is definitely one of the coolest designs I have seen! Plus, there are two fans already mounted in the window, one down near the typical video card placement on a motherboard and a second one over where most RAM ends up. This second fan is really a welcome one to me, because I've always found it extremely difficult to get a decent flow of air near my RAM.
The back of the case shows us a couple of things. One, there is a 120mm fan mount and two, there is a 120mm fan already mounted. The same goes for the blow hole on the top of the case, except that it's an 80mm fan, not a 120mm one.
I noticed that the paint job done on the Transformer was very smooth and even. I also like the fact that it has a matte, or flat, finish, rather than a glossy one. I've always had a hard time keeping glossy finishes clean.
The front of the Transformer is fairly understated for a themed case, at least compared to some others I have seen. There aren't a ton of LEDs set up in some strobing pattern that threatens to blind you and anyone within 100' of you! The door hides 5 external 5.25" bays and two 3.5" ones. The 'face guard' comes off easily and screens a space where one might install a 120mm intake fan.
The bezel as a whole is easily removed without having to open up the case to get at screws. One of the benefits of not having a bunch of lights and such in the bezel is that you don't have to worry about yanking any wires loose!
