I'm still rolling my eyes at Bucky even having a super special awesome Fullmetal Alchemist arm.

like

who came up with that
why did they only stick one on Bucky
why didn't they equip all of their Hydra soldiers with them (or at least ones who lost limbs, God knows they'd have a lot of those in WAR TIMES)

I know it's nitpicky as fuck and I should just believe it on the logic of 'COMICS LOL' but it's really distracting.

No, not even just the ones who lost arms. If I was Hydra I would be chopping peoples limbs off and adding super bionics arms. And maybe you can say,"Well it only worked On Bucky because he has knockoff serum." Why wouldn't Hydra chop off his otherarm so he can have TWO super arms?

I wanted to make that note too, of the 'not one, but TWO super arms!' thing. Also, you're right with Hydra not sitting around to test this on just Bucky or other amputees. They'd be hacking limbs off left and right trying to test the hell out of that kind of tech.

Honestly, my guess would be that they tried.

And failed. A lot. I believe they did some stuff to him (in the factory that Steve rescued him from) before he fell from the train. So maybe their experimentation with SuperSoldier Serum-Lite, or whatever, only really took with Bucky and made his prosthetic arm viable (and also the flash-freezing, because that seems like it might useful for other Hydra 'assets' as well).

Re: Honestly, my guess would be that they tried.

Is it even confirmed in MCU that Bucky is hopped up on Serum-Lite? Because I really missed that and it's another nitpick of mine.

Re: Honestly, my guess would be that they tried.

Steve says at one point in TWS that Bucky had been experimented on before his apparent death, and that whatever they did to him (presumably the Serum-Lite) helped him to survive the fall. (And presumably it also helped him survive being repeatedly frozen and defrosted.)

Re: Honestly, my guess would be that they tried.

I don't think it is. But we do know Hydra wanted the serum and was heavily into experimentation, especially Zola, so I don't think it's an unreasonable assumption. That said, I would say he is enhanced in some way beyond the arm, but whether that's serum-based, alien tech-based (like that scepter thing was in the credits scene with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch or the Tesseract), or something like whatever the hell Whitehall got from Skye's mother (Agents of SHIELD), I don't know.

Maybe they only had enough materials to make one arm for one guy?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

So they slapped the one arm with the sparse materials they had on an enemy they found bleeding out in the snow? Way too much risk involved when there would probably be a line of Hydra agents willing to lop off an arm to get a futuristic upgrade.
