I am aware that roboticist gets some pretty fun toys already (Borging chamber and syndicate frame), but I've noticed that they're missing one thing to make terminators with: Weaponry! Why should I build battleborgs if all they're going to do is attempt to robust people with a soldering iron/fire extinguisher/Whatever the borg has?
I propose an idea: The ability to attach a few basic weapons to robot arms during the borg construction process (or replacing the arms of an existing borg). It would go something like this:
Roboticist builds a cyborg.
He does all the stuff needed to create one.
However, the robot's internal tools aren't going to cut it for the malicious gear.
And so, the roboticist obtains a Taser/Phaser and uses a screwdriver on it.
They attach it to the robot arm and screw them together.
Then, he adds a few extra wires connecting the gun to the cyborg power cell.
The result: a borg arm that, at the cost of the associated item slot, can shoot like a gun. However, this hastily thrown together device won't be able to fire as fast as a regular gun, and will drain power from the cyborg's battery.
This is probably overpowered and hasn't been done for a reason, but perhaps there's a chance this could exist? I really just want to build a terminator borg as a traitor roboticist...
