Akitzuki, Gen's motorcycle Machine Hawk did not transform into a robot, it was just a fancy looking and very powerful motorbike.

Akitzuki's freedom was short lived however as he was tricked into putting on a braclet which once again gave Dr. Akunomiya the power to inflict severe pain on him with the flip of a switch.
