ARMS (extendable)

''This article is about the extendable limbs. For other users, see ARMS (disambiguation).''

ARMS fighters—even human ones—do not fight using ordinary human arms. Instead, they use a pair of extendable limbs called ARMS. Most fighters have extendable ARMS where a human's arms would normally be, but this is not always the case.

Fighters make use of various weapons, also called ARMS, while fighting. They wear the weapons on their hands, just as boxers wear boxing gloves.

History
The origins of extendable ARMS are unknown. Debated origins include heredity, mutation, and experimentation by extraterrestrial life. All attempts by historians to find answers have ended in failure. Individuals with the "Gift of ARMS" often participate in the ARMS League.

Examples
Each fighter has extendable ARMS that are based on the fighter's theme. For example:


 * Spring Man's ARMS are made of metallic springs.
 * Ribbon Girl's ARMS are made of ribbons.
 * Ninjara's ARMS are made of chains.
 * Master Mummy's ARMS are made of linen strips.
 * Mechanica pilots a mech that has artificial ARMS made of metal plates and electrical cables arranged in a coil shape.
 * Min Min's ARMS are made of ramen noodles; the left one can also change into a dragon.
 * Helix's ARMS are made of giant DNA molecules, or are at least designed to look like them.
 * Kid Cobra's ARMS appear similar to the body of a snake.
 * Byte's ARMS are made of clockwork mainsprings.
 * Twintelle's ARMS, unlike those of most fighters, are not attached to her shoulders. Instead, her extendable pigtails are her ARMS.
