Weeeeeellllllll if she could do that. . . why did she not rearrange the atoms over the nape of her neck into a Diamond Shield? She should also be able to do the same with others part of her body. I also think given the "steaming" Titans be they Normal to Shifter "take mass" from air around them. I am not even going to try to work out/justify the physics in all of that. Dead Titans or Titan bodies without their "rider" quickly evaporate. The parts are "light" as Hanje exclaims. Yet they can crush buildings. Then there is the explosion when an least some like Annie and especially Berthold transform. Is it "nuculer?" How does that work out? I do not know! Maybe Aliens!

However, I think there is a level of "control" over ability which we have seen varies with experience as well as fatigue. So Eren enrages into Titan Iggy Pop. Then he suddenly becomes a partial body to protect M and A. Then tries to pick up a spoon, blah. . . blah. So it takes a while, a long while, to control abilities. So perhaps Annie just simply does not have control over this one. If it is a "last ditch" plan, how does she "practice?" Especially if she has no way of getting herself out? Of course that is all speculation. She may be awake and conscious. Now there is a hell! Look up "Locked-in-Syndrome" to feel better about your life! BUT SC & Co. were smart enough to put her in the dark and in a confined area. So she cannot simply "explode" from her "diamond."
