Look at this image, I'd recommend use an animation snapshot method to create the links/joint of the arm. This will allow you duplicate a large number along a path, they might then be parented to the path for posing or animation.
The claws should be the "easy" part since they're basically mechanical fingers. Once modeled the pivot should be at the placed base of each claw joint.
