    I liked the T30 Goldfire mold but I didn't like the weird movie esque head and the small size of it looked weird to me. It's been a while but I remembered Beelzeboss made a head a long time ago so I tracked one down and modded the figure.

    The head is glued and pinned onto the original neck disc joint. A lot of the spinal column was filed filed away as well as the inner chest to make space for transformation. The guns don't fit on to the hands well at all since the 5mm peg on the gun isn't a full circle and the hands are the shitty "open hand" shape that was popular at the time.

    The ball joint from the Beelzeboss set allows him to look up which is neat, but there wasn't any chin molding so it looks weird. You can move the hood of the car up to make a hood for the robot like the original goldbug but it blocks the light piping. I'm still unsure if I want to paint the eyes in and leave the hood up.
