[Name: Multi-Mode Transforming Arm Type 2] [Description: A newly upgraded version made with a special alloy. In addition to two powerful arms for stabilizing its movement and posture, it has a new auxiliary arm that uses a special power supply line.] [The auxiliary arm's design drew on a variety of electromagnetic weapons, including Achilles, RT-46 Storm, and Nekomata. It used the Centaur Exoskeleton's particle cannon design, allowing the transforming arm, once locked into position, to become an electromagnetic sniper cannon of extraordinary length.] [Developer: Lier] [Tech Points Reward: 500] [Current Tech Points: 9000]
The last Octopus Arm was the auxiliary arm Lier had added this time. Though it looked weak and boneless, it had firmly locked onto the area where the enemy was.
Soon, the Octopus Arm underwent a precise and complex transformation. Within its structure, just over two meters long, hundreds of tiny gears began to turn, and motors drove its bionic hydraulic joints.
Like a precision clock, the parts unfolded and rotated, then finally meshed together, producing a crisp snap. This sound, combined with the motors' hum and the patter of rain, formed a strange symphony.
At last, the fine armor plates on the mechanical arm's surface locked into place all at once-

This was a barrel: an extra-long barrel, 1.5 meters long, and a freak of firearm engineering.
A flexible arm meant countless gaps, and countless gaps meant that this design could hardly become a barrel.
Only the inner structure of the Octopus Arm designed by Doctor Otto, with its nearly unlimited flexibility, could make this transformation possible.
Lier removed the two fuel tanks at his side and set them on the ground. At the same time, he pulled a high-spec power cable and a bioenergy conversion device from his toolbox.
It was a
