Alpha Mode
From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki
The Blizzard Blaster's Alpha Mode sequence.
Alpha Mode is a concept created by the LEGO Group for the Alpha Team Mission Deep Freeze subtheme. All the Alpha Team vehicles in this theme can transform from a "standard" mode to Alpha Mode. This means that one vehicle is essentially two, and it can be triggered without having to deconstruct the set. The point of this feature in the Alpha Team story is that Alpha Team vehicles can adapt to any situation. Alpha Mode is the primary function and point of interest in the Alpha Team Deep Freeze sets.
An example of this transformation could be 4743 Ice Blade. With the simple movement of some pieces, the set transforms from a snowmobile to a helicopter.
