examples of H.A.T.E hidden retractable weapons with a bit of lore.

---------

Right arm:



in the right arm, there is a retractable chainsaw-like energy melee weapon called a "Ripper" or “energy-Ripper”. it is very similar to other solid-light constructs that make up many energy melee weapons in the galaxy, however, the ripper variants are built to be more chainsaw-like with teeth that move at a speed so fast they look and function like a solid blade but with the noticeable difference is that it is much better at cutting due to the super-fast teeth creating a lot of friction and vibrations to make it more efficient at cutting, allowing it to even cut materials that simpler solid-light weapons would not be able to, and it can keep cutting its target repeatedly by simply touching it and allow its teeth to cut over and over again like a chainsaw. Which is why it’s got its name "Ripper”

however, there is a reason why such weapons are not very common. For starters such weapons require a mechanical frame in order to function, eliminating the many reasons why most people would pick solid-light weapons in the first place; for their lightweight and convenient concealability.

The frame would make the weapon noticeably heavier, and the large frame would also make it less convenient to carry around even if retractable. Another downside is that it would have much less versatility than other solid-light weapon constructs and can only take one shape and form. And one thing that can be considered a downside to Rippers is that they are loud and never stop making a sound when activated. (However, some would consider this an advantage since the loud noise would terrify most people) but luckily for H.A.T.E. his mechanical body gives him the strength to carry such a weapon almost weightlessly and is able to fully conceal the weapon in his arm, fixing the two weaknesses Ripper weapons have.

left arm:

The left arm is equipped with two fully-automatic double-barrel blasters. built to fire a storm of energy blasts that can annihilate a group of enemies. each gun has almost full manoeuvrability and quick movement, so on occasions, H.A.T.E is able to use it as a hidden surprise attack weapon to shoot opponents when they least expect it.
