    Hi there! have legends Super Ginrai and GodBomber but hate the combined mode backpack and don't like the "fan-mode" fix either? here's a quick and easy tutorial on how to make your God Ginrai more accurate in a few simple steps!

    WARNING!
    This tutorial involves removing pins from GodBomber seperating his torso pieces and making him more of a partsformer, this only effects transformation into trailer and robot mode, both of which will still hold together solidly.

    Things you will need for this customization:
    - a pin-punch/small enough screw driver
    - a pair of thumb parts from any POTP combiner hand-foot-gun


    Step 1: Remove the two small pins from the joints at the back of GodBomber that connect the front torso/backpack sections and Super Ginrai's first set of rear wheels as shown here:

    Step 2: Collapse GodBombers upper arms/wing assembly inward on the torso section you've just removed and attach your POTP thumb pieces with the thumbtips facing up and the balljoints facing towards each-other as shown below:

    you can do whatever you please with GodBomber's thighs, i personally fold them in to help clean up the backpack, but they also look really good folded out as extra thrusters/boosters

    Final step: Line up the balljoints of the POTP combiner thumbs with the holes left from the removed wheels and you'll end up with a nice and tidy (and more accurate) backpack!

    And you're done! hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

    If i had a 3d printer and any kind of knowledge on modeling, i could whip up a pair of adapters that plug into the now vacant wheel-holes then paint them to match the truck and have 5mm holes to match the posts on GodBombers upper arms, but alas i do not.
