I have commented this before and will repeat: I would rather transform
the original arms into bat-like wings and then transform the legs into
a pair of arms. Though you certainly will not need legs, wings would
be quite nice and allow the use of huge air-filled habitats with vast
open spaces. (Something in those lines was shown in the old 80's movie
"Lifeforce", where we see a zero-g habitat inhabited by "bat-people".)
