Developed in YE 35 to be used with the Engineer Toolkit. It is a wrist mounted welder/extinguisher that is adjustable through the use of the DataJockey integrated into it.

The Engineer Arm is an essential marine engineer tool in use by Nepleslia's Engineer Corp. The Engineer Arm is a wrist mounted tool that is used exclusively in conjunction with the Engineer Toolkit. The Engineer Arm has a center nozzle that is used for the Toolkit's plasma welding and cutting. The two nozzles adjacent to the center are used for the deployment of the Na-FE32 Fire Extinguisher mounted on the underside of the Toolkit. If the extinguisher attachment is not in operation, there are caps to be placed upon both the entry and exit nozzles for the extinguisher portion.

The Engineer Arm has a basic Awesomecorp Datajockey built in that is used for operation and maintenance and can adjust the amount of gases the torch puts out and adjusts the torch for efficiency. The datajockey comes loaded with manuals on the operation and maintenance of the Engineer Arm as well as the Engineer Toolkit. There is also safety guard built below the welder to prevent injury during usual operation, although the metal does heat up during prolonged or past safety standards usage. A small red laser has been integrated into the base of the welder's torch to provide an easy way for engineers to use their cutter with greater precision.

Though not designed as a weapon to be used in combat, some engineers have reported using the torch of the Engineer Arm as a weapon. It was only used when in emergency situations or when using their regular weapons would have been hazardous or impractical.

The Power Armor version of the Engineer Arm is a more durable and stronger version than the smaller, infantry version. Everything about this version is bulkier and upgraded for more efficiency, including a nozzle that allows wider and longer use of the plasma. The datajockey connects to the Power Armor's neural interface, allowing the Marine to control it with thoughts as well as through external input.

The Engineer Arm is only to be used with Hostile Power Armor systems. It is mounted onto the left hand, upper forearm of the power armor. The shielding below the torch is gone as well as the bottom of the wrist mount; it is mechanically attached to provide a stable platform. The power armor version also contains ports and smaller cables to attach itself to equipment in the toolkit, as well as other power armor systems to diagnose and troubleshoot for problems.
