You mean like this?
It's not that hard to have the head stay up and away when the energy "crest" is folded in. The friction from the spring loaded energy pieces holds the head in place quite nicely. You're not gonna be able to do that with the panels out.
Also, I don't know if you noticed, but when the panels are folded in you can slide the head up a tad more and it'll click into place. I think that's what the "push head down and panels come out" gimmick is all about.
Since you didn't touch on the alt mode, it's alright, but it seems like it was merely an afterthought.
Once you tweak it a bit and figure out which limbs peg onto which slots (the instructions of course tell you jack shit about this), it doesn't look half bad, and it actually feels pretty solid. I saw a Youtube review of this guy and the dude said he prefers to
TF the altmode this way, and frankly, it does look a bit better to me.
Overall, this is a fantastic figure and one that everyone should get if only for the robot mode. It's awesomely tall for a Voyager, and has a menacing badass look about it that's just plain evil.
