FINAL FANTASY IV
LAST ARM PROJECT #607 CREATED: JUNE 2018 The Last Arm was a floating mechanical drone encountered by Cecil and his traveling companions during their trek through the body of the robotic Giant of Bab-il. Disguised as a treasure chest, the electronic weapon revealed itself only after Cecil attempted to seize the treasure. The Last Arm hovered lower to the ground than the similarly-designed Alert or Searcher, not bothering to summon other monsters, in favor of unleashing its own attacks. It used a powerful Magnetic attack, capable of freezing party members in their tracks and making it impossible for them to retaliate. To make matters worse, when its level of battle damage reached a critical stage, the Last Arm initiated a self-destruct sequence, resulting in a nuclear Fission that was as dangerous as any attacks it could muster while it was fully functional. (In the remake of Final Fantasy IV for PlayStation Portable, the Last Arm was renamed Optic Blaster.) I used a Matchbox brand Jurassic World Gyrosphere for this project, drilling a hole into the bottom of the toy that allowed me to attach a clear plastic figure stand to make it look like the toy was hovering in mid-air. (The Gyrosphere toy cost me $0.94, making it a lot less expensive than the TechnoDrome eyeball accessory I'd originally been eyeing for this project.) |
