Automail soldiers already represent the near-pinnacle of Amestris' ranks, but what if the idea could be taken to the extreme. Full-body automail conversions have been theorized about for centuries, and the Amestrian military has a concept already prepared should the right soldier meet the wrong fate and somehow survive, though only a single yet-unused prototype is known to exist featuring a machine gun mounted in what was once the soldier's mouth, a manual vocoder to allow them to communicate without said mouth, and a rotatable arm with a functional hand on one side, and an anti-tank weapon on the other.
