    Those panels on the forearms rotate around to be less kibbley.

    I did the head swap with the GDO hot spot head going onto the Red hot spot mold.
    and the Red Hot spot mold giving up it's head to the GDO hot spot.

    It makes both molds look better IMO.

    highly recommend it if you own both versions of Hot Spot.
    I had two GDO hot spots....one I had setup to be the Shattered Glass Hosehead.

    While some friends were visiting at the weekend we took Hot Spot's head to bits and filed the paint off the eyes.

    Here are the results, with a now functional lightpipe:

    Inferno/Gdo Hot spot water sprayer is swapable with Grapple or Grappel hook crane

    just did the swap in less than 2 minutes.
    The base is attached with a rivet....But if you unscrew the one screw holding it together....you can then split the base apart....remove the other crane attachment off the other Transformer the same way.

    then just swap the part with the base half (it is identical as the other base) and plug it together and screw the screw back in place.....

    DONE.

    Having just checked the clasp that holds the crane arm on seems a lot tighter than my original Inferno's with the missile launcher was: Years ago I popped that straight off and swapped it for a Gear Of War ladder just like that

    And I want it just for Hot Spot. Hmmmmmmm...

    Yeah I DEFINITELY want pics from this one. There are a couple that I'd LOVE to yank the crane off of and swap out with the gun from the other molds.

    Couldn't resist the $13 price for this set on Amazon, he'll be a dual purpose G2 Hotspot / Guard City Fire Chief homage with a GDO Hotspot head and water cannon.
