Fun fact, this armor has an "interdictor" variant with mimetic armor and an ECM suite.
Don't forget about the "can-opener" problem. When your tool is too small for the job you want to use it for. Specifically this one is for opening metal things obviously.
You could bite into the metal, but, not really anything else. It's easy to make the little fingers have a high crush strength. But trying to use the arms for things like that, and you just get severe structural issues. Like the arm breaking off at the lever force's main stress point or completely popping the torso open due to material weaknesses. Because they're reinforced against things on the outside getting in. Not from internal force pushing out. Construction equipment is built in reverse of military.
Edit: Shiit, took you too literally there for a moment again.
Sounds like fun.
