I have to agree with you on that one. Ed's first automail arm looked a lot cooler. Who knows? Maybe someone will get the idea from Full Metal Alchemist in the future.

yeah it doesn;t look as cool
but automail has the appearance of looking heavy doesn't it? (I mean it can't be very light not for 1915 technology..) *ducks as Winry throws a wrench at me*
This looks like titanium.

Wow, that's really cool. As stated above, it doesn't look nearly as awesome as Ed's, but ah well. Maybe someday in the future, style and functionality will be combined!

Can't you just hear the rush of intaken breath as Ed-cosplayers plan for the future?

Oh wow. Didn't think it was never possible^^ Also reminds me of Angelic Layer... although it's a bit of an extreme possibility from that (and not sure if THAT would even be possible). But still would be amusing^^

Very cool. I've seen some "thought controlled" augmentative communication devices, but they really worked on eye gaze or small changes in skin temperature. Not hooked up to the nerves!

Its always incredible when I see this kind of technology. I have kept an eye on the general state of this technology and some similar pieces of tech, such as an article a few years back involving nervecells being integrated with computer chips, for a while and really like seeing this ghost in the shell like technology being brought into reality.

The story in today's paper had Bionic in the headline and since the person that was
being covered in the story was a woman I can't help but ask,does that make her
The Bionic Woman now?
