Robotic Arm 4

[xl8]

Robotic Arm 3 is the whole right arm. Let's have a RA4 which is the whole left arm.

I want multiple arms! Goro or Stryker style!

Asked for several times during Live, and the response was always that it was back-burnered because of the animation and costume changes it would require, and they didn't have the art resources to do it.

Positron was good at coming up with different "we don't have the resources" excuses for why something couldn't be done. Sometimes it was because it was being done, and he just wanted to deflect people dogging them about when it would be released, but most often it was just fobbing things off onto the 'maybe someday' pile so people would stop asking.

This may be why you have to rescue him in the Maria Jenkins arc...

And it took a certain minimum of player commentary to get things up on their radar in the first place. I remember at one of the meet-and-greet events at SDCC, when I asked Positron again about the problem with the Paragon City harbor buoys, and he said that they might have to take a look at it now that he'd gotten two comments about it... and I had to admit that I was the 'other one', bringing it up at the first NCsoft event at SDCC. Still, I suppose it's some sort of achievement to be the only person to bring up a significant visual problem with the game, even if it doesn't affect gameplay in any way.

That's sad. I was about to create a thread about left robo-arm!

We already have asymmetric arms, boots, and gloves....  hope they can someday expand that to include legs.

That was only the multi arm , not the left arm.

Robot arm options with a jacket would be pretty cool. Probably a lot of work though.

Also a "both full robot arms" option.

You can do this with some of the robot arms, just have a sleeve covering up the top half of the robot arm.

 

However, you're limited to certain robot arm styles for the bottom half.

 

As for the OP suggestion, I actually wondered this when making my namesake.  Now, I like her cybernetic arm on the side it is.  However, seeing some people's characters, I was wondering if it was done to stop them from completing those Cable and Winter Soldier looks, by forcing the arm on the wrong side.
