what you have there is one of these things..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automan

Automan had a sidekick named Cursor, a free-floating, glowing, shifting polyhedron-shaped, mote of energy which could three-dimensionally "draw" and generate physical objects as they are needed, generaly becoming the object in the process. Cursor could not become another object until disolving the current object (usually a reversal of the "drawing" effect) and reasuming "his" normal form. Exceptions to this included the fabrication of more conventional outer clothing to hide Automan's unusual body appearance, and a variable dark colored vehicle lined in glowing blue piping. Jokingly refered to as the "Auto Mobile" in one of its earliest appearances, the most common forms taken were a car, a plane, and a helicopter, all of which could defy the laws of physics. Cursor could make the vehicle appear, or by making contact with it, cause it to change from one form into another, such as shifting from a car into a helicopter, and could then detache in order to perform other tasks. Cursor could create vehicles with a more conventional appearance but could not then separate from them as he did the unusual-looking forms without the object disolving. It is also noteable that Cursor was always the first to appear from a computer, after which he imediately "created" Automan's physical body. Automan and Cursor were generally only able to become corporeal at night, since they needed a large amount of power to run.
