It didn’t land upside down, it rolled over after touch down due to high lateral velocity after one of its engines malfunctioned (and the whole reason it managed to land softly at all is because onboard software was programmed to handle such cases and find a way to land it anyway).
What a weird story. Upside-down landing. Rover built by toy company who made Transformers.

It would be amazing if they could figure out how to right it.
I mean, the toy did pretty well - it survived the landing and took this picture!
And it reads like it transforms.
