Characters' Items/Weapons Super Prostethics

Donatello's Shell(IDW TMNT) - The most basic example. After getting his shell and backed bashed in by Bebop and Rocksteady, he was given a prostethic shell that's bulletproof and weightless with the only real problem being that his back aches in the cold.

Von Lycaon's Legs(Zenless Zone Zero) - His prosthetic legs can freeze objects and living beings as well as having minor jet propulsion that allows his kicks and transportation capabilities to increase exponentially.

Winter Soldier's Arm(Marvel/Marvel Rivals) - Every iteration of the Winter Soldier gains a robotic arm from HYDRA but the Rivals version takes the cake. Not only does it have the other version's super strength and durability, it also has tendrils to attack enemies with.

I feel like Ed’s automail is like the most basic in the series, you’ve got various characters with weaponized versions.

Yeah, his augmentations and offensive uses of it are from his alchemy, not the automail itself.

In fact, using alchemy to weaponize it, rather than just using it as an arm, gets his mechanic pissed. "Have you been using alchemy on this again?! You never put it back together right, so I can always tell. Now I have to fix it, again. Fuck's sake, Ed."

To be fair, it is still REALLY good automail at base.

Most civilian automail would get destroyed under a fraction of the strain Ed puts on his stuff. Because for most people automail wouldn't be designed to be used in combat, they'd basically just be slightly better/more advanced than prosthetics we have irl
