I was always under the impression that he had it removed more surgically, and it wasn’t like he could just take it off and put it back on as he wished.
Couldn’t the same goal be achieved with black pins? Not the old black pin-axles that are stupidly rare, just a regular 2L black pin. It would allow the Hordika neck to slide a few millimeters, but it wouldn’t slide off.
And if you have one, you could use a round bushing to keep it from sliding even that much.
I would argue that it’s similar enough to the Glow-in-the-dark armor that you could get away with it.
That was a bit of an inside joke. I said I was channeling my inner Hawkflight, and I remembered a very old post that Hawk made ending in “Also”. For some reason this post and Slime’s response still make me laugh to this day.
This pun was entirely unintentional and I don’t know how I missed it until just now.
