The four unwieldy packs had endured many years of heavy abuse at the hands of the Minions and what started as a few extra screws here and there quickly turned in to an (almost) complete rebuild. I ended up making a new backplate and what is technically called a “<a href=\"http://www.gbfans.com/wiki/Proton_Pack_Part_Names\">cyclotron</a>” for each pack. In the end they were much lighter and more compact, for which the cast was grateful.
