- Missing parts may cause the user to be in a diminished/wounded state or partially complete.
Amount of scattered pieces may be limited by the user's body size.
May require enhanced coordination to control all the fragments.

The user might be injured if the scattered pieces are when transforming back together.
May be vulnerable to gas or other attacks that affect a wide area while in swarm form.
May be limited to certain types of bats.
