I was referencing Vangelus' "Hi Price of the Final Def", if you didn't know. While Chris is preparing to transplant Subtitles into a new camera, Phone Braver 01 turns Vangelus' then-current camera - I.E. Subtitle's then-current body - into their murder-slave. Vangelus is ultimately forced to destroy the brainwashed camcorder, by striking it with the Goldion Hammer.

Just gonna throw this out there, but the best way to have him hold his gun in Robot mode is actually to flip his hand back into his wrist, then peg the gun into the back of his hand. Fills in the arm hole, and gives him that "my arm transformed into the gun" look that always works.
