E3 08: Mr. Destructoid gets an upgrade! Life-sized grappling arm replica spotted photo

Guess what I want for Christmas this year?

As we turned the corner to spy on Capcom we found a tall blonde woman grappling passerbys with a giant replica of the famed Bionic Commando grappling arm. Naturally, I could help myself. The monstrosity weighs at least 15 pounds and was probably made in underground concentration camps by Nazi youth some decades ago. I was sad to give it back to the booth agent, but at least it's in the hands of the good guys.  Hit the gallery for some close-ups and check out our impressions of the game, modelled by Destructoid's lovely Tiff Chow.

That's it, when this game comes out I'm putting one of my Destructoid stickers on my TV so I feel like I'm playing as Mr Dtoid!

Tony Stark made this arm in a cave, with a box of scraps.
