>>10986144I'm still kinda curious why this wasn't what his arm was used for in the show. Clearly the idea was there at some point because both Hot Toys and Hasbro included that grapple hook arm so they must have had concept art with it. I agree with
>>10986180 that giving him a multi-functional arm would have helped make him stand apart a bit. Often it felt like Echo was basically just there on a lot of missions. Very few times did it seem like he was really crucial to mission success in the same way Tech was a lot of times. And in combat all he could use was a single pistol which was kind of lame. Making his arm more like a Swiss army knife would have made sense with his history as an ARC Trooper and being able to adapt and improvise on the fly.
