They make you relatively superhuman in their use, but at the cost of most sensations you'd feel in those limbs.

It depends on how advanced these limbs are. Are they based off of current day tech for cybernetic limbs, or some future enhancement that will make it so these artificial limbs can be almost indistinguishable from flesh and bone?

Arms please. RSI is a bitch. (Though, how would we prevent 'cheating' in online games by enhanced humans?)

I can't really think of any benefit to legs and am really surprised it's leading by such a huge margin. Assuming arms also includes hands that opens up so many opportunities and options.

Use my legs way more than my arms. Although, ghost in the shell style typing fingers would be pretty sick.

As I get older the dumb shit I did as a kid is coming back to haunt me. Please give me robo legs before my knees give out on me.

My arms were great, but I got a few busted things about my legs. So legs.

BUT ALSO, I do NOT want to lose sensation in my hands and fingers.

Arms are also more "intimate", in a sense, I'd rather them be flesh and blood, and feeling things with my hands and fingers is wildly important. Legs are generally just used for standing/walking/running/kicking/whatever, so I'd rather it be legs.

Legs get you more height, faster speed, longer endurance, higher jumps, etc...

They're also completely hidden if you wear pants, whereas robo arms would require gloves.

Arms (and hands) for ultimative nerding

It's probably legs.

I think most of us legs folk are thinking about the loss of sensation in our fingers, versus the more limited usefulness of being able to walk or run long distances without getting tired. But you're right, cybernetic hands with cybernetic Ghost in the Shell fingers would be far more useful.

Even if you have beastly robot arms you'd still be limited in what you can pick up and stuff because of your body. But robot legs you can run and jump around like crazy even if you're super weak everywhere else.

Legs.

You guys don't realize how debilitating it is when your legs don't work. Not having well-functioning arms sucks, but not being able to walk or run well can literally shorten your lifespan.

Definitely legs. Losing sensation in my hands and fingers would be a bit shit. No more feeling accidental side-boob at night? Fuck that. Plus I can run faster and longer, without my ankles giving way when I'm older. So it's an easy choice, gimme them legs.

I feel like most people can't possibly actually be reading the OP before voting. Superpower aren't worth the loss of sensation, sorry. I like feeling stuff.

Arms because I want to be able to punch through brick walls as a show of my elite upper body strength
