Also this is extremely unrelated, but one of my friend's next character is going to be a magical megalomaniac muffin who believes it has already taken over the world. Right now he is playing a guy who shoots bullets from his fingers.
This sounds like a really neat game! I'd love to hear more about it later on. While I can't really help with the shrimp idea, I think it sounds cool! I wish you well.

Another idea could be to have it as a form that he can transform into!

My group is using the fourth edition books, and at the start we have 150 Character Points, any extra points have to come from disadvantages. As I've said I don't have the books, or know of any sites, so I don't know most of the advantages/disadvantages/skills, and even then I don't what I would need.

I know I need: Exoskeleton, Extra Limbs, 360 Vision, and someone said something about enhanced vision. I might get Extra Attack if I have leftover points.
So does anyone know of any other advantages that would be helpful to me?
Specifically I'm looking for stuff that can help with defense rolls, attack rolls, and what would be needed to actually be able to do the Mantis Shrimp's Mega-Punch.

Failing that does anyone have a link to a build of an insect man?
Striking ST (The mega punch wouldn't be very effective outside of water, since it isn't sending out shockwaves and flashes of light, and if you're playing an actual Mantis Shrimp, the damage would be around 1d+1 to 1d6+3 damage. They can break glass and rip limbs off of big crabs. Everything else is sort of a feature of Gurps Shock.
