I take it it's relatively immune to the elements (wouldn't be good if your robo-arm rusted in the rain), but can it be used defensively (holding it up to block attacks) or should it be kept relatively damage-free?

also, what's the Biomechanics Semblance? I know this is a weapons thread, but could you just explain that a bit? sounds interesting!

It's likely to be powered by Dust, likely most other tech on Remnant.

You can damn well bet that he won't let it rust on his watch. Since Aura can coat itself over clothing and weapons, it's liekly to receive less wear over time as well. I suppose he could use it defensibly if he needed to, assuming that Aura works with prosthetics. If not, then that might be out the question. Until any future canon says otherwise, though, it's likely that he can use it to defend himself.

Biomechanics is one of the first Semblances I posted on the threads for original ones. I'd post the link, but I've since lost track of it. Basically, it can manipulate the mechanical components of devices. Works at short-range, but not from any greater distance from the target. Also, it doesn't really affect the computer or AI on it (assuming tat the target even has one). Someone else made another Semblance for that sorta thing.

Huh. Bit of a good question. I've kinda envisioned him as trying to cover up the prosthetic as much as possible, so the jackhammer might be stored somewhere within the device. I've considered having him wear a glove to cover the servo up, but removing it when in combat to allow it the device to convert. The servo would've likely retracted during the transformation. I might ditch that idea, though.
