Line 61:
* The Type 99 Helldiver military labor from ''[[Patlabor]]'' mounts a 40mm autocannon on its right arm.
* Guu from ''[[Haré+Guu|Haré+Guu]]'' can change one of her arms into a Gatling gun (complete with spent shells popping out of her mouth). Like the rest of Guu, it's inexplicable.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', {{spoiler|[[Ninja|Soi Fon's]] [[Empathic Weapon|zanpakutou]]}} brings her under this trope for short periods of time. {{spoiler|In [[Touch of Death|shikai]], her [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|zanpakutou]] integrates with a finger on her right hand to turn her into the [[Lightning Bruiser|ultimate two-hit kill warrior]].}} However, in {{spoiler|[[Finishing Move|bankai]], her [[
* The gun-swordsmen in ''[[Brigadoon Marin and Melan]]'' have a gun at the end of one arm and a sword at the end of the other, hence the name. They also have a second set of odd-looking retractable arms, which have stubby hands that they use for holding things.
* ''[[Voltes V]]'s'' Voltes Bazooka. The entire weapon is hidden in his right arm, and is deployed by tilting the right hand downward (which also becomes the weapon's grip held by the left hand) allowing the barrel to telescope out of the arm.
Line 137:
* Many battlemechs in ''[[BattleTech]]'' mount a large gun where a hand would be, and leave the other arm free with a hand. Many other 'mechs do this with ''both'' arms, turning the 'mech into a dedicated firing platform at the cost of melee combat ability.
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''
** The Obliterator cult of extremely chaos-mutated [[Super Soldier|space marines]] whose bodies have been literally fused to their own weaponry and armour, allowing them to morph their warped body parts (with arms being preferred) into various types of [[
** It's implied that Obliterators can access the Warp and use its energy to power their weapons. They also don't have kinetic-energy weapons anymore, so there's no point wondering where they store the ammo for heavy bolters or autocannons.
*** ''Inquisitor'' specified that they produce their own ammunition as a result of their encounter with [[The Virus]].
Line 187:
* Reisen from the ''[[Touhou]]'' shooting game series is shown to fire her bullets straight out of her fingers (often with her hand in the classic [[Family-Friendly Firearms|invisible gun]] pose).
** And Subterranean Animism gives us [[I Love Nuclear Power|Utsuho Reiuji]], whose right forearm is a nuclear control rod capable of firing small suns. Though it wasn't confirm as an arm cannon until ''Hisoutensoku'', fandom nonetheless [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2H8pL8gTXo ran with it (skip to 2:00)].
* In ''[[Naruto Clash of Ninja]] Revolution 2'' (and other releases, most likely), the game-exclusive character Bando can detach one of his hands and attach a [[
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' has Protectrons whose arms have integrated laser cannons. And of course the badass Sentrybots whose one arm is a gattling laser cannon while the other is a rocket launcher. ''"Hostile detected. Non-combatant safety can no longer be guaranteed."'' No shit...
* Grobyc (note the [[Sdrawkcab Name|Sdrawkcab]] significance) from ''[[Chrono Cross]]''.
Line 207:
* Michelle Flammel from ''[[Monsterful]]'', when she fuses with her golem Ourox she gains the "Oux Cannon" which is able to fire concentrated "moe energy", the cannon has been shown to be able to upgrade itself, 2 versions have been shown so far, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130101223902/http://www.monsterful.com/chapter05page06.php 4k] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20121217063000/http://www.monsterful.com/znp15-02.php 5k.]
* The superhero Cannon from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130904204902/http://www.heroesofcrash.com/ Heroes of C.R.A.S.H.]'' has one as his superpower.
* The Nemesite prison [[Mecha-Mooks|guard-bots]] in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' have gun arms. When [[Card-Carrying Villain|Fructose Riboflavin]] defeats them in his jailbreak, he removes their arms and mounts them on stands to use as [[
* All characters in ''[[Bob and George]]'' based on the Mega Man sprite have the ability to morph their arm into a cannon. [[Running Gag|Except George]].
* Clayton from ''[[Chaos Theory]]'' has a frigging ''minigun'' built into his robot arm after a weapons malfunction caused him to lose the original left one.
Line 220:
=== Western Animation ===
* Loads and loads of ''[[Transformers]]''.
** Honorable mention goes to ''Beast Wars'' Megatron, who had '''two''' [[
** Shockwave in ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' has a blaster arm.
** [[Transformers Animated|Animated]] Omega Supreme is another both-arms example. Of course, he was built to be the Autobots' war-ending [[Person of Mass Destruction]], and is the size of a skyscraper in any case: he's not going to be able to physically interact with most creatures.
Line 313:
** This comes from being based on the Gespenst, since every type of Gespenst has three barrels mounted on their right arm. Strangle only the Wei?Ritter and Alt Eisen actualy have build in weapons which use them as range attack and the Gespenst II M, makes use of the barrels as close range weapon. Which makes someone wonder why the other types have those barrels but no weapon build in to use them.
*** On the older Gespensts (''and'' the MK II M), those are apparently the hilts of their Beam Sabers. The MK II M's are designed to be able to do the Jet Magnum attack.
* Tytree in ''[[Tales of Rebirth]]'' fights with his [[Power Fist|fists]] and a crossbow attached to one of his arms. For one of his [[Combination Attack|dual]] [[Limit Break|hi-ougis]], the crossbow turns into a [[
* In ''[[Front Mission]]'' (SNES) and its later PlayStation remake (and the Nintendo DS port of that) named ''Front Mission 1st'', at least one of the early game arm parts has an integral machine gun; it's strong, has good accuracy for the early game and can save you money due to not having to buy a separate machine gun for a regular arm. Its only downsides are the inability to unequip, the weight, and those of a machine gun (as a Short range weapon its priority is higher than Melee weapons but lower than Long range weapons, and between Short range weapons its priority is less than a Rifle which only shoots once per attack).
* Slipskulls in ''[[Resistance]]: Fall of Man'' have their guns mounted to their arms with metal bands. When you find a pair of their weapons lying around in the New Game + , you just use them like regular machine pistols, though.
Line 323:
** As a fair warning to other tropers, {{spoiler|The POPE, and Cesare are both [[Immune to Bullets]]. This is strange since they the first is an old man in robes, and the other is a whiny 20 year old in light armor (That stops claymores too... The two handed sword, that is.)}}
*** Which is something of a moment of fridge brilliance, come to think of it. One would suppose the Animus disregards the bullets because Ezio doesn't remember either of them dying that way. {{spoiler|He saw Rodrigo die to a poison apple, and dropped Cesare off a high wall.}}
* [[The Worm That Walks|Hunters/Lekgolo]] from the ''[[Halo]]'' franchise have arm-mounted [[
* Subject Delta from ''[[BioShock (series)]] II'' has all his guns bolted to a plate on the back of his right hand.
* Firebats from [[StarCraft]] have twin, wrist-mounted flamethrowers. This continues on in the [[StarCraft II]] unit, the Marauder, who has twin grenade launchers for arms. It's a giant [[Mini-Mecha]] / [[Powered Armor]] suit, though, so he can still take it off. The new Firebat has the same design as well.
Line 342:
=== Western Animation ===
* Megatron has a [[
** Hilariously spoofed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1YCztmwPZs here]
** So do lots of other ''[[Transformers]]'' in varying sizes.
** ''Animated'' Swindle actually has a [[
* Every robot or cyborg character on ''[[Gargoyles]]'' has a retractable particle beam gun in its forearm, with an almost identical extend/retract mechanism. Sensible, since all of them were evolved from designs stolen from Cyberbiotics by Xanatos, and it's hard to reinvent the wheel when you didn't invent it in the first place.
* Buzz Lightyear, of ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' and ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' fame, has a laser built into the wrist of his suit—at least on the latter where it's standard-issue; on the former it's "a little lightbulb that blinks".
