As a potential benefit, I can see using these hands to grab onto the terrain to help you climb up slops and rubble (in game mechanics, not in graphics). Translating into a slight bonus for each hand you have, for example a +2.5 degree to the SlowdownAngle per hand you have (as some mech only have 1 hand.) For example a Trebuchet would now have the same climbing ability of the Raven or Cicada.
