    Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster.

    I'm a big fan of Gravity Builder. I know feelings are pretty mixed on him, but he is the only Devastator for me. Having said that, we all know he has his issues. I've searched high and low for mods and have found little to none of use, so I decided to start making my own.

    My very first was so simple I'm surprised no one had done it already. I thought I'd share it here, maybe get sone feedback, or possible suggestions for my next one. My main goal was to not need to glue, cut, or in any way damage him.

    Here is my mod to remove those absurd shoulder pads from Bonecrusher:

    So, swinging a rotating assembly behind the figure is now considered a mod?

    More appropriate term would be "Fan Mode" I think, with respect to the title of this thread.

    I'd say this is more of an adjustment/variation of the intended configuration then an actual Mod.

    To the OP: if your goal was simply to remove the pieces that gave him shoulder pads as an aesthetic option, then sure this works.

    I see nothing wrong with this configuration you've shown, aesthetically. If I didn't display mine in combined mode, I might do the same.

    I designed and 3D printed a piece that allows the blade to plug in to the back. It's fully detached from his arms. I expected comments about partsforming, not to be told it isn't a mod.

    They just didnt realize what you did and forgot those things are supposed to be connected completely to the arms. You can see the white piece he made attaching the plow to the back. In alt mode can the printed piece attach anywhere?

    It can stay where it is actually :)  I'll probably paint it
