Its somewhat inspired by the Xtype entities.

<br />
sorry for the poor quality but its from my new game which is a bit of a secret atm so i had to wipe all that is in the background..<br />
<br />
STILL WIP - but you can see how it works and it will render ok (you'll need to spawn it programatically or comment out functions that add children to add it through weltmeister. Once you add it you can uncomment these and it will run fine or put arms/guns/etc in separate entity files.<br />
<br />
You can find the images I used to start off. For now arms aren't sensitive to attack and so on but overall it works fine. The logic is pretty simple - CE is the heart of our enemy it has multiple arm offsets at each one of them the arm entity is attached and pushed into the array of children. The first and the last arm element has a gun attached which spawns bullets at certain intervals.<br />
<br />
For animation I used sin() so arms are floating up and down relatively to the centre.<br />
<br />
To reduce amount of how far the arms are waving up and down reduce the multiplier at the end of this line which is currently 50<br />
<pre class= var sinOff = Math.sin(this.children[i].oscillationTimer.delta()+this.children[i].oscillationOffset)*50;
if you want to increase the speed of oscillation Multiply the value inside the sin in the line mentioned above.

Oh yeah if you want your arm elements to follow the sine wave of the oscillation you can do in updateChildren
child.currentAnim.angle = sinOff.toRad(); 

This should rotate the box in right direction although its not tested and its still WIP

This is working great for me. Just one little issue though. The modules that I spawn seem to lag behind. I spawn the main body, then add legs (weird, I know. but needed for some game mechanics later on) and then spawn a gun. When I'm moving around, the modules can't quite keep up and are 2 - 3 pixels behind the main body. Once stopped, they line up again.

Any way to avoid this?

You need to update your children in the parent update function call.

 update: function() {
                this.parent();
                this.vel.x = 10;
                this.updateChildren();
            },

this is what updateChildren() does in the parent entity.
updateChildren: function () {
                if (!this.children.length) return;
                for (var i = 0; i < this.children.length; i++) {
                    var sinOff = Math.sin(this.children[i].oscillationTimer.delta()+this.children[i].oscillationOffset)*50;
                    var child = this.children[i];
                    child.pos.y = this.pos.y + (sinOff);//*Math.sin(sv);<-extra shake
                    child.vel.x = this.vel.x;
                    if(child.children.length){
                       for(var j= 0;j<child.children.length;j++){
                            var gun = child.children[j];
                            gun.pos.y = child.pos.y-20;
                            gun.vel.x = child.vel.x;
                        }
                    }

                }
            },
