I never read the original Marvel Transformers comics in the 1980s so I had no nostalgia for Death Hand.

But that character is pretty damn cool fun and is a clear inspiration for Lockdown. So I had to buy his Marvel Legends figure. It is the only ML figure that I own.

Then, I saw at AliExpress that they sold a Death Hand head to fit on the Legacy Jhiaxus body.

The horns where a bit too long and fragile, impeding his transformation. So after many mods and repainting...

And creating some original accessories including a mele weapon, a gun, a shield, and the shoulder-pads...

Here's Death Hand as an actual Transformers!

Comparing to his original self:

Of course, he can transform into a draconic spaceship. Here it is without the weapons:

Fully equipped:

Finally, a comparison with the original Jhiaxus and his moldmate, Legacy Vector Prime. (Both modded with repros and upgrade kits.)

It's been a very long time in the making, but I'm happy how my transformable Death Hand turned out.

So, what do you guys think? :-?

Really cool mod. The extra wide shoulder pads are a little weird for me, especially since it doesn't match the DH's figure, but it is original I guess.

Love the alt mode!

Fun fact. The shoulderpads were TWICE as large before I chopped them off in half!
