As in, you activate it while driving and it can fire mini-guns and rockets in both forms. Sort of like a mix of Transformers and Iron Man. They'd run into copyright issues with Robotech, which has a transforming motorcycle suit like that with missiles and lasers in the third series called a "Cyclone", which they can also store in their transforming "Veritech" mecha/fighters. Also, here's another gauntlet I just came up with: An set of Wolverine-style retractable claws in a housing on top of the arm, enhanced by Dust-fueled short-burst rockets to accelerate the user's swings on the blade of the arm, and a rotating ring of Dust cartridges similar to Yang's Ember Cecilia, which wraps around the arm, and can charge the claws with different elements for powered up melee strikes or AOE ranged attacks.

Do NOT get into legal issues with the owners of Robotech. They sued another sci-fi franchise into the ground over images that they only barely had any legal claims to and essentially killed some of the franchise's most iconic things. I hate them with a passion.
