- “I need a more advanced robo-arm. It's not enough to make it stronger and have gadgets. I need to be able to... to...”
- “Yes?”
- “I want to feel.”
| — The Mechanic and Unagami, "Upgrade" |
The robo-arm is a mechanical arm that the Mechanic used to replace his left arm he lost and he uses it as a weapon. At some point before the attack by Unagami, the Mechanic built or obtained several additional robo-arms.
History[]
At some point the Mechanic lost his left arm, which he then replaced with the robo-arm.
Eventually, the Mechanic became frustrated with being unable to experience feelings and sensations with his arm, so he asked Unagami to help him. With his help, the Mechanic built a new arm, which he could feel with.[1]
After the Crystal King arrived and bestowed power to Aspheera, Pythor, Vangelis, the Mechanic, and Mister F, the Mechanic's arm was upgraded to a crystal blaster.
Appearance[]
The robo-arm looks like an regular orange arm. In the part where the elbow is, it has an exposed part that allows the Mechanic to bend his arm. There are several gray protrusions with red lights on the arm. The hand is teal and the Mechanic can feel with it since "Upgrade".
The flamethrower version looks just like the regular version, but instead of a hand it has a conical piece with holes that works like a flamethrower.
In Crystalized, the arm is turned into a crystal weapon and resembles a black laser cannon with four crystal fins on it.
Powers and abilities[]
The regular robo-arm can move and in "Enkrypted," all cells in Kryptarium can be opened by it. In Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, it is shown that the arm, after folding, can move itself where the Mechanic has directed it. It can shoot its hand into the distance, which has devastating effects, as shown in "The Prodigal Father."
The flamethrower version can throw fire from its head. It also works as a weapon, as the Mechanic often used to fight in fights. It can shoot its head into the distance like the regular version as shown in "Would You Like to Enter Prime Empire?"
The crystal version fires pink lasers that could turn an enemy into a crystal zombie.
