Fake Arm Disarm	comment	This character has Artificial Limbs, Electronic Eyes or other prostheses, and while they don't have to be a full Cyborg — the rest of them can just be squishy human flesh — what they do have is far stronger, more durable and just plain better than their former body part (if it existed). There's only one problem: it keeps getting wrecked. Enemies shoot like there's a bullseye on it, falling rocks gravitate towards it and it falls off at the drop of a hat like the character is some Steampunk leper. Meanwhile, their natural appendages never suffer more than flesh wounds, despite being made of far less hardy stuff. Often Fake Arm Disarms are used to temporarily bring a character down to normal in a way that preserves the status quo. Destroying the flesh-and-blood arm of a character would gravely injure them and provoke major Character Development, but a prosthesis can be broken or detached without endangering the character and fixed with relative ease after the fight. It's also a popular means of including some Bloodless Carnage and Amusing Injuries for similar reasons. On the other hand, the character can also Invoke the trope in order to protect their less replaceable limbs by leaving the prosthesis behind as a decoy while they escape. May also come in handy during a Life-or-Limb Decision. Frequently Justified, as realistic prostheses are usually weaker than the body parts they replace and detachable, making them easy to lose. Also, the strength of Artificial Limbs could make a character be more reckless with it, as dumber ones might not realize that if they tried lifting something really heavy with said fake arm without reinforcing practically every other part of the body the prosthetic would be ripped out. And a weaponized prosthesis would be an obvious target for enemies. May follow an I Will Tear Your Arms Off threat. Compare to the bloodier An Arm and a Leg. For a list of tropes that are prone to these, see Artificial Limbs and Anatomy Arsenal. Subtrope of Good Thing You Can Heal.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_187d570b	comment	Devil May Cry 5: Whenever you use Nero's Devil Breaker when hit by an enemy's attack, it breaks. The player can also invoke this trope and manually destroy the currently equipped Devil Breaker using Break Away to let Nero break free from the enemy's grapple or crowd-control attacks. In the finale, Nero destroys it himself with his manifesting Devil Trigger powers regrowing his lost arm as he rushes to stop Dante and Vergil's battle. In the epilogue, Nico gives him a newly modified Devil Breaker system that fits over his regrown arm.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: Edward's automail arm is destroyed or heavily damaged on five separate occasions. It is destroyed by Scar; it malfunctions while Ed fights Lust and Envy due to a missing screw from Winry's rushed repairs; it is damaged and used as bait during his fight with Lan Fan; it is unable to function in the North due to the cold; and it is destroyed by Father after which he gets his real arm back. It's justified due to his tendency to parry attacks (and only parry attacks) with that arm, since it's so much more durable than his flesh-and-blood one. To say nothing of it being more replaceable, as Ed well knows. Losing his automail arm is an annoying inconvenience, but losing his flesh-and-blood arm would put him out of action for a year or more (as was the case when he lost his other arm and had to get it replaced with a prosthetic before the start of the story). Also occurs when Scar fights the Silver Alchemist. After trading a few blows, Scar destroys the Silver Alchemist's pegleg with a Clean Cut, Single-Stroke Battle style.

Bond shoves him out the window, leaving his artificial limb behind, which Bond then throws out after him. In Licence to Kill, CIA agent Felix Leiter gets tossed into a shark tank, where the sharks rip off his (prosthetic) arm and leg.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_701f0ece	comment	In Berserk, Guts's iron prosthetic left hand and forearm invert the trope by being far more damage-resistant than the rest of his body, a fact which he often exploits. One example is a Deliberate Injury Gambit during his fight with Rosine's giant moth form, where he crosses his arms in front of him to defend against Rosine's diving attack with her sharp proboscis. He lets the proboscis skewer his flesh-and-blood right forearm while using the iron left forearm directly behind it to divert the point away from his head, so that his impaled right arm drags him with her into the sky. He couldn't land a hit on her before because she kept knocking him off his feet and zooming past before he could hit her back, but stuck to her like this he's able to shoot her with the Arm Cannon built into his prosthetic.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_a49a890c	comment	Invoked and exploited by Herr Starr in Preacher. In a confrontation with the hyper competent bodyguard of a man that Starr needs to kill, Starr pretends that he's trying to kick the bodyguard with his artificial leg. The bodyguard (not aware that Starr has a prosthetic as Starr only recently lost his real leg) contemptuously grabs the "kick" in the air, only for the prosthetic leg to pop off in his hand. He stares at it in shock just long enough for Starr to shoot him.

In the last scene, Tee Hee attacks Bond in his train room and is about to kill him with his hook arm when Bond reaches into his suitcase and pulls out nail clippers which he uses to snip the wires controlling the arm, leaving his hook stuck on a window handle. Bond shoves him out the window, leaving his artificial limb behind, which Bond then throws out after him.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun: Several supplements have rules for damaging the cyberware that characters implant into their bodies, including the Street Samurai Catalog, Shadowtech and Cybertechnology. Since Player Characters tend to get into combat a lot, those with cyberware regularly take serious damage to it using these rules. In the 2nd edition sourcebook Cybertechnology, one character mentions that his cybernetic arm got damaged significantly more often than his flesh arm, due to being less careful with it. He also mentions that this meant he had to spend a small fortune over the years replacing the skin on it.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_d38fe19f	comment	In Star Wars: Clone Wars, Anakin infiltrates a Seperatist compound on Nelvaan that has been performing horrifying experiments on the native population. First he was specifically chosen by the Nelvaanian shaman because he had a fake hand. Then the people who had been corrupted by the experiments tasked him to destroy the facility. Anakin does this by sticking his artificial hand in an energy sphere and stealing a critical component, but loses his robot hand in the process. The Nelvaanians see Anakin's mechanical stump as a symbol of their own freedom and respond by tearing off the arm cannons that the Separatists placed on them and cheer Anakin triumphantly.

Fake Arm Disarm / int_d6c9c0a4	comment	Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex provides a few examples: An assassin named Fem is hired by the South Seas Mafia to kill a multi-millionaire recluse. Section 9 stays one step ahead of her. While she monologues about the evils of capitalism, Motoko exploits it and sneaks up behind her. Before Fem can put up a proper defense with the shotgun built into her arm, Motoko twists her arm and breaks it off. The Russian spy Cruzkowa has been doing her job for so long, that she's Crazy-Prepared for almost any situation. When Togusa grabs her left hand while she was running away, her arm came off. Batou has to tell Togusa to throw the damn thing away before the bomb inside exploded. Batou enters hand to hand combat with Kuze later on in the 2nd season. The two are pretty evenly matched against each other; Kuze gets the upper hand when Batou tries to swing a metal shaft at him but gets knocked off balance. Kuze shoves the metal shaft into Batou's left shoulder, pinning him to the ground. Batou was ok, but he later remarked that it was annoying trying to get used to his replacement shoulder and arm.

In the process as Bucky is fighting second-in-command Ayo, she unveils a secret failsafe the Wakandans had put into the vibranium arm they gave Bucky in Avengers: Infinity War and literally disarms him. He's luckily able to reattach it, but tells Sam that he wasn't even aware it could be removed.

By contrast, the loss of his (still flesh-and-blood) left eye in the same incident is a much sorer spot for him, and when Jetstream Sam loses the use of his real arm in his DLC story, he's appropriately horrified.
