Immutable Guardian - Armor (breastplate), uncommon - Salvaged from an iron golem and reforged into armor, you gain immunity to any spell or effect that would alter your form if it is against your will. In addition, when targeted by a spell such as polymorph that would change your form into an elemental, the spells duration is doubled.
A mechanical parrot that tanks hits of fire from you, or maybe a battering ram made from an iron golem fist that you wind up for an extra special effect in combat
Furnace Breastplate Armor (breastplate), very rare (requires attunement) This heavy breastplate, made from an iron golem's colossal head, still bears much of its fiery essence. You gain a +1 bonus to your AC and resistance to fire damage while wearing this armor. Additionally, as a reaction to taking fire damage, you can speak the armor's command word to absorb the flame, regaining hit points equal to the damage you would have taken (factoring in resistance). If the amount you regain is greater than the number of hit points you are currently missing, the armor releases the excess energy in a burst of flame, forcing all creatures within 10ft to make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 4d6 fire damage (half on a success). Once used, this effect cannot be used again until dawn. Curse. This armor bears not only the fiery power of an iron golem, but also its cold, emotionless mind. When you attune to this armor your emotions become dulled and mechanical.
Behemoth Armor Armor (plate), rare (requires attunement by a small humanoid) This plate armor was forged from the remains of a destroyed iron golem and is built to the scale of a typical humanoid, but with short legs and a large, barrel-like torso that contains a complex mechanical harness. While wearing this armor you are considered to be a medium creature and your strength increases to 15 if it is not already higher. Overclock. As an action you can push the machine to its limits to cast haste on yourself. At the start of your turn when this effect is active there is a cumulative 10% chance that the armor will overheat from the stress, immediately ending concentration on the spell and dealing 2d6 fire damage to you. Once used, this property cannot be used again until the armor is left undisturbed over the course of a long rest as its internal systems work to repair themselves.
I'd love the iron golem to have some subtle Minecraft references
An arrow/bolt/Dart made of solidified stalker essence. If you dip it in your blood and then hit a creature with it, that target is marked and you know the direction /distance to your target for 24 hrs as long as it's on the same plane of existence. The arrow/bolt/Dart is invisible once dipped in your blood and dissappears in a light puff of air once it hits its target
An Iron Golem power core (like it's heart) that can be grafted onto a weapon making it deal acid damage or have an aoe acid attack
A weapon based on one of it's limbs
