Equip Yourself With a Full-Size Mega Man Buster Arm
posted on by Chris Nishijima
Let's be honest. We've all done it at some point in time. Every fan of gaming has pretended to have a buster gun on their arm to fire at enemies. There's just something so thrilling about pretending to have a giant cannon at the end of one's arm just like the blue bomber. Well, now thanks to the brilliant minds at ThinkGeek, what could once only exist in the minds of fans has now been brought into the real world.
Yes, now you too can fight evil exactly how Mega Man does, by utilizing the iconic Mega Buster. This working replica of the legendary weapon fits neatly on your arm, measuring in at 8" wide and 14.2" long. The inside is equipped with a trigger, which, when pulled, causes the arm to fire off the sound of a buster shot. Depending on how long you hold down the trigger, you can fire either a single or charged shot.
On top of matching the original color scheme perfectly, the side LED panel of the arm functions as a power meter, telling you how much battery life is left in the item itself. The barrel at the front of the buster cannon is also equipped with a built in LED light so that you can see it light up when fired. The replica will be on the market this December, just in time for the holiday season, and is expected to be priced at US$79.99.
Of course, if you're looking for a slightly more fashionable interpretation of Mega Man's unique style, you could always check out CAPCOM's and Punk Drunkers official "Punk Rockman" hoodie.
